Sunday's £15k Primo - with James & Stuart (***OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***)

edited November 2013 in Poker Chat
Well, hello!

Mr Rutter and I will be in the house from 7pm on Sunday, with an hour of hands from the Master Cash tables, before switching our focus to the main event...


You know what to do: register for £55, or get in the game via a satellite. Just make sure you're playing, and then follow the action on channel 861, as we work our way through your hand requests and poker-related questions.

We'll also have updates from this weekend's UKPC Final. And we'll be discussing this chap...


That, ladies and gentleman, is the new 'No Limit Hold'em World Champion' (and self-proclaimed "best player in the world") Ryan Riess. After defeating Jay Farber heads-up, 'Riess the Beast' is $8.4m richer.

You'll notice that Ryan's friends and family had his nickname on their T-shirts, while the man himself chose to wear a Calvin Johnson jersey (which has earned him a sideline ticket to a Detroit Lions game)...


As for Jay Farber? Well, he brought his lucky panda to the game...


But we'll gloss over the guy in a panda costume who crashed the stage! So, if you made the November Nine...

* What would be your nickname?
* What would you wear?
* How would you dress your railing crew?
* What would be your official anthem?
* What would you choose as your mascot?

    * What would be your nickname? The Don 
    * What would you wear? Probably my TKP hoody
    * How would you dress your railing crew? Lots of Oranage and Black
    * What would be your official anthem? Right here, right now (fatboy slim) 
    * What would you choose as your mascot? Meerkat 


    Dress thing i think is strange, because i would say my favorite football top, but out of habit of British rules i doupt i'd even consider it in the moment.

    $8.4m richer? Well, if you believe what you read, that figure will be $4.8 after tax. Only 1 of the 9 finalists is exemped from paying tax as they reside in Blighty (depsite being French). 

    This country is far from perfect, but if one of us somehow binks the WSOP ME, we get to keep all the monies :)

    Have a great show guys.

    And the stories are that he's only got 20% if himself anyway.

    Was he the only one of the final table players not to be "patched up"? I only saw from 6-handed so missed the first three players. Let's hope one of these days we get a "Sky Poker" patch extensively aired on the TV coverage.

    I thought the way Riess handled the heads up play was spot on. He gave Farber just enough rope in the right places to hang himself (and would have finsihed the job quicker had he not fallen for that massive bluff). Of course having the best cards by miles also helped.

    Is he primarily a tournament player or a cash player? Greg Merson being a high stakes cash player has been conspicously absent from the wider poker scene since his WSOP ME win (which of course is his right). I prefer someone like Duhamel as a ME champion, getting out there and being seen and giving others the chance to play with the "World Champ" not just playing with multi-millionaires in a private room in Macao.

    Best moment of the heads up was the Riess rail chanting "Endangered Species" to the panda.

    Hmmm...

    I'm not sure "The Don" is going to cut it. Remember: the Americans treat this as a huge sporting event.

    How about The Deadly Don? Or The Dynamic Don? Or The Dangerous Don?

    Oh, Bob, don't open that can of worms!

    The official way of "keeping score" in poker is to record the amount of money actually paid out.

    If we start deducting tax, factoring in back-room deals, and calculating how much action each player sold, it's going to get very, very, very complicated.

    (But, for the record, I do think it's laughable that Antonio Esfandiari is number one on the All Time Money List.)

    One thing to consider when selecting an anthem...

    Ideally, it should have a catchy chorus that your railing crew can start singing/chanting, every time you win a big pot!

    Well I think "The Phantom of the Opera is here" works on that score.

    PS If I ever make the final 9 I will happily pay for flights and accommodation for anyone who wants to come and rail me. Don't forget about the purple morph suit before you sign up!

    Nickname: Teddy "sweetsugar" Bloat has a nice ring to it.

    Attire: got to be a nice suit if im on the tele. I find marks and spensers suits to be  the height of sartorial elegance. Id even shave for the final.

    Railing crew: there is no way id allow the pseudo-stag-do, ruggerbugger style organised "fun"  of a coordnated, whooping and hollering rail. A few lads from sunny birkenhead in their vintage sambas would be mooching around,  most would prefer to search out tbe darker side of the strip  anyway. Friends and family? Its pokernot the x-factor.

    Theme song: the intro to ian dury and the blockheads' "pliastow patricia"

    Mascot: there'd be a bottle of johnny walker red next to me throughout, if that counts.

    Cheers, 
    TEDDY

    Hand request

    MasterCash4

    It will be more interesting to play this hand from Lambert's perspective and not mine
    Question for Stuart is "does he think the button calling the 3bet with this type of hand will be +ev over time, or will it lose more bit by bit than it wins with the occasional bink?"

    * What would be your nickname?
    The Big Slip
    * What would you wear?
    Something smart, perhaps channeling James Cagney. I do love spats, so I'd have to rock up in a pair of those.
    * How would you dress your railing crew?
    As my railing crew will be female admittance only, I will have them dressed like the girls from Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video. Guitars optional.
    * What would be your official anthem?
    I'd be tempted to go with Eye of the Tiger for its instant testosterone boosting qualities, but may ultimately settle for something like I Should Be So Lucky to try and tilt the opposition.
    * What would you choose as your mascot?
    A Tikay bobblehead.

    RE: that AK hand posted by Geldy...

    Geldy is capable of making moves and doing some funky stuff stuff which is why I was happier flatting his flop raise. The queen on the river meant I felt I could get him to just sigh call any Ax as he now has 2pr Q kicker. I deffo should fold to the raise.

    What can I say, I'm a massive station. As Stuart said, I was probably confused by the turn checkback. It's a really bad call on the river 100% Geldy is capable of doing some funky stuff but with more than 10 seconds to think about it, I know his line in the hand is NEVER a bluff, and NEVER a worse value hand. Should have saved £14 there by folding the river.

    Thoughts on this hand from the Primo please.

    Pre-flop I think is a good squeeze spot for the SB, but I don't want to 4-bet to get shoved on.

    Flop is a good board, bit of a relief going 3-way. Pre-flop aggressor leads out, how to proceed? Don't like flat calling in case button squeezes or a big card comes on turn, but raising I think only gets action from better hands?

    Primo, #709017996
