I'm not sure what you see in him, but each to their own.

mmmmmmmm looks tasty :-)
Have a great show

And don't worry, I can see the attraction to Mr. Schofield. It's the silver hair, innit? Anyone who worked so closely with Gordon the Gopher gets the nod from me.
As for playing against a professional - I had Julian Thew at my table at the Newcastle SPT a few weeks ago and I bet him out of the pot with my pocket jacks. I thought I was The Man at that point... but I had forgotten the guy round the back of me who won the hand with his AQ when he hit his lady on the flop.
...oh well.
Sorry Anna. Didn't mean to turn the show thread into a Schofield thread. He was great on Going Live, though.
Anyway, how did it all go? No rain, wind and horribleness I hope... even if it would have been a little bit funny.
I find it interesting that your great indulgence was a sandwich. Not exactly up there on my list. Mmmmm... Egg and chips...
Have a great show.

Fair enough. Can you ask stu to explain the concept of i and its geometric positioning on the complex number plane
I have one story about playing against a professional player - I think he's a pro anyway. A chap by the name of Priyan De Mel in a live satellite to GUKPT Blackpool in 2009. (or maybe 2008)
There were two or three live satellites in the week leading up to the event. Each was a £30 rebuy to the £1k main event. I played in the Tuesday event and found Mr De Mel on my immediate left. I had no idea who he was, of course.
My budget for the satellites was a maximum of £150. Much to my chagrin, in the fairly early levels Mr De Mel was shoving every occasion the pot came to him with any dead money in it. He obviously was trying to build a stack and get the seat for anything less than the £1k true cost. Obviously, I couldn't afford to rebuy as many times as him.
To keep it relatively short, after I'd done two buy-ins, I realised this wasn't a good situation for me, so I left and came back to try again the next day. In that satellite there were 9 seats available and for a total of £90... I finished 14th... Pretty annoying. Worse still, a good friend of mine who had a bit of a rivalry with me somehow binked a seat, and I've never heard the end of it.
As for Mr Priyan De Mel, well, he only went and won the thing, didn't he? At least my chips went to a good home.
Bit long. lol
Got a hand here from Mastercash 4... do you think this is pure spew? I figured my line looked so strong especially 3way and there are very few hands villian can possibly call the river with (I would even expect villian to fold what he had)

Villian is nitty postflop to say the least, don't think I can beat anything in his range on the river.

My impeccable reputation remains intact.
It resulted in probably the most embarrassing situation of my live career. I backed off for a bit and let him do his thing, but eventually made a stand against him and essentially made a big river bluff with K7 (king high), he thought about it for a long time and eventually made a hero call, I instantly mucked my hand cos knew I couldn't have the best hand... he tables K4 (also King high). So he'd hero called with King high and the real sickener... it wasn't even a chop cos my kicker player and I'd have won
Lesson learnt that day... NEVER muck your hand until you've been shown a better one.
