All banter, questions, hand requests gratefully received and read out on the show, so , you know the drill...either on this thread, via emailskyopen@bskyb.comor via Twitter#skypoker
And tonight I want you to...
EXPLAIN POKER IN A WAY A LAYMAN WOULD UNDERSTAND
For a bit of fun- can you explain a concept or term in poker to someone who doesn't have a clue about the game, in a way they'd understand using everyday examples from life?
For example-
LIMPING IN: a bit like when you go to a so-so sounding party. You not really bothered about going and make minimal effort to get ready, but you're going in case it turns out to be really good. If it's rubbish, you're happy to go home early.
3-BET: when one of your mates tells you he's going on a caravanning holiday in Prestatyn, you then 'raise' by announcing you're off for a week in Majorca and then your mate 're-raises' by dropping in he's also going to for an all-inclusive break at a five-star hotel in the Seychelles.
There's loads and loads you can have a go at. The funnier, more random, or cleverer the better! Who knows, we might help newbies to understand the game more!
We have some Tuesday main event Turbo Open seats to give away to the best message contributions tonight- so get writing to get your effort read out on the box and for a chance at the extra value in Tuesday's game!
Really looking forward to your answers on this one! Could be a classic!
HAVING THE NUTS - You are going to a school reunion party. Loads of people you haven't seen for 25 years will be there with there wives and partners. You are taking Scarlett Johannsen
HAVING THE UNBREAKABLE NUTS - You are taking Scarlett Johannsen and Angelina Jolie
OUT OF POSITION - So, you get to this party and Angelina and Scarlett havent shown up. Never mind. You are sure you will pull while you are there when someone you recognise from your past walks by. Unfortunately, you end u stood by The Gents.
HAVING AN OPEN ENDED STRAIGHT DRAW - You end up stood between the Gents and the Ladies and you remember you are Bi Sexual.
In Response to Re: Sky Poker TV LIVE TONIGHT! 7pm-midnight with Rich and Stu : Good spot Solly, the man's a disgrace. Not been the same since he lumped all that weight on. "....8pm-9pm – Turbo Tuesday Live coverage from the main event: the £20K Super Roller...." Posted by Tikay10
Jeez, never mind the fact that I've produced a magnus opus this week. Let's all concentrate on the one typo...
No pleasing some people!
By the way, the show topic is a classic. Even if I do say so myself. Stick that in your 'c & p' pipe and smoke it! ;-)

I managed to sat into the Super Roller for £12. Tough sat and ended up qualifying alongside MattBates. He really is good when you see his play up close. I'm looking forward to the tourney and lets hope I play well and get some luck along the way. Have a great show and all the best for the UKPC next week. If I win tonight, I might treat myself and play that too. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
All in: you fill a nice radox bubble bath up with all the perks you go in your room to get a fresh pair of boxers an socks you come back out to go in the bathroom and to your surprise the doors locked and your dad has robbed your bath
I guess the explaination here is don't
Go all in untill the time is right...
sometimes its no good explaining just like when your trying to explain the offside rule to women
Heres a couple of hands from a mastercash table yesterday.
If you can show them could you use the card blockers to cover burnsydeans cards please and if Rich or Stu can guess them i will run around the streets of London naked
"Bubble Boy" - Ok so, we're back at the school reunion with Scarlet Johansson. Everything's going great for hours until right near the end of the evening, she goes off with your best mate and you're left there empty handed, wondering what might have been
Ouch, I'm out of the Roller already. My internet connection started playing up and dropping in and out, which is unusual. So when it connected and I had A,K I maybe got a tad over zealous and played it like AA. I did sat in for £12 so it wasn't a massive loss and IF I'd hit I would have been in the top 3 with a stack to do some damage with. Oh well, next week WILL be my week.lol Best wishes.

poker is the one form of gambling where you get to see you hand before having to pay this is what gives players their names fish no they not a food source they are people who call a wide range calling stations are the best of the lot and will give you value every time as they have a very wide range.
maniacs they are call that as they do just that bet over aggressive.
these are all very loose types so avoid making the bluffs. bluffs themselfs are betting a hand which you try to rep but you don't actually have.
The offside rule. Imagine the cashier in a shop is the goalkeeper. Your wife is queueing to pay for a new pair of shoes. The other women in the queue are the opposition players. She gets to the front of the queue, and suddenly remembers she has left her purse with you. You throw it to her from the back of the queue....she is offside. If she had been 2nd in the queue, she'd have been onside!
You take a reduce priced jumper to the till, £50 down to £30. But the barcode doesn't scan, so the till assistant prompts you to go and get another one. Whilst getting this replacement jumper, you spot an identical jumper stickered up at £20, and buy this one instead.
I'm playing tonight. Really wanna play the UKPC but have been really lazy about playing the satellites so this is only my 2nd Final and the first one obviously went so badly that I can't even remember it at all. I was doing ok, up to about 5k until an ugly runout for me AJ v AT forced me to lose a smallish pot
Virtually last chance saloon for me, if I don't make it tonight then I'm gonna have to win one in the live sats at DTD this week.
