    Hi all,

     

    Your next live show on Sky Poker TV is this Sunday night 7pm to midnight.


    And it's the biggest of the lot. Not The Super Roller...



    THE MEGA ROLLER!!!! 

     

    Steering you through the massive £30,000 GTD game will be myself, Richard Orford and Redmond Lee.


    Joining us in the studio will be poker pro Karl Mahrenholz.


    And playing the game at home and on Skype throughout the show will be Ross Jarvis and, 'fresh' from the EPT Vienna- Joe Stapleton.

     

    All banter, questions, hand requests gratefully received and read out on the show, so stick them either on this thread, via email skyopen@bskyb.com or via Twitter #skypoker

     


    On Saturday night the clocks went forward- and we all lost an hour. Which got me thinking about time-travel. Tenuous I know, but it's good way of getting into this question...


    If you could go back in time and change just one thing in your poker career what would it be?

     

    Look forward to your answers and see you Sunday night at 7!

    Who's Redmond Jarvis?  Bit too excited after your last minute winner against Cardiff Mr O?  Or have Redmond Lee and Ross Jarvis taken advantage of todays change in the law and got married?  Many congrats if they have.

    The one thing I would change is to get into online poker 5 or so years before I did.  It would of been amazing being a part of the boom years.

    Have fun everyone and run golden

    Oops-typo! Duly amended. 

    Last minute winner against Cardiff? Is that a rubdown, Mark?

    Did you see what happened with the last kick of the game..?

    Personally. mine will be slightly contraversial, but i first started when i was 14 played a little then stopped, picking back up when i was 19. I would personally now have changed that and keep playing from then.

    Evening "sausage fingers"... I would say withdrawing my bankroll was my biggest mistake as it turned it into 'real money' which I wouldn't want to risk losing these days. This has meant i'll unlikely ever move up the levels like others do.

    Attitude!

     

    Better to have shoved and lost, than never to have shoved at all!

     

    I worried more about the chips at stake than the strength of my hand.

    Poker will always be about percentages and making the right decisions.

     

    Its too easy to beat yourself up because the 1 in a 100 chance takes you out on the river!

    When you should be thinking the next 99 times you'll be a winner!

    I'll answer your question when I've been knocked out of the Mega Roller! Qualified through a freeroll, and had to take a sicky from work this evening to take part! I may well be regretting this after getting knocked out on the first hand....Then again, it's a lovely day, and when would I ever be able to participate in a tournament that is way way out of my bankroll with all the big guns! It'll be worth it, if only for a hand or three! Good luck to everyone. Fingers crossed the Poker Gods are in a good mood!

    to answer your question:

    I personally would have changed one thing, and that would be too study the game first through watching videos reading books and asking more advice from poker pro's and some of the finest players on here, instead of doing these things after i found the need to.

    good luck to all and have a great show

    Good answers chaps. Really interesting.

    If you're reading this and haven't yet contributed your thoughts to the question of the day then please do so. I'll be reading them all out on air later and discussing with the guys on the show.

    Yes, did I say 'guys', plural?

    I did. And it's because...news just in...joining me and Redmond tonight for the whole show in the studio will be Karl Mahrenholz.

    And playing in the Mega Roller and joing us on Skype will be Joe Stapleton and Ross Jarvis!

    Just play your normal game.  watch out for anyone trying to bully on the table and only tangle with then if you like your hand. Use pot control vs bolshie oppos. Above all don't panic.

    OK so I'm none of the above you were asking but hey at least I answered.

    Hey team!

    Question for the guys, What's your thoughts on the emergence of the poker players coming out of Scotland and their performance this year?

    P.S binked an all in satellite for £3 after cashing instead of getting a seat in the early satelite!

    Very early hand from the roller #  761585377

    Should I be folding turn / calling hoping to fill up on the river? River was going to be a fold, but was a very small bet...

    From Roller tonight.

    I was keen not to inflate the pot too much pre.  I don't want to get my entire stack in the middle pre flop v a hand like QQ.  Id rather see a flop and take it from there.

    Is there a case for folding pre?  Even though villains could easily have QQ-JJ hands and my Ace and King can still be live.

    Can I get away on flop ever given that I have great equity v almost any hand?

    Did I butcher it essentially?

    Massive sigh.

    Evening all,

    Personally, I wish i would've got involved in the sky poker community when i first joined. Made alot of friends already from being part of the forum and a team, and has made the game so much more enjoyable. Enjoying the show

    I notice Ross is not playing the mini tonight. After he bangs on about the final table jackpot everytime he's on the show - I'm very disappointed.

    I would go back and play more tournies. I set out to make money by grinding cash tables, I suceeded in making money but was bored. I was playing in the region of 16 tables at a time often on auto pilot. I got fed up then tried a tournie and it was more fun.

    Hi guys, can you show this hand from tonight's roller plz.

    What do Karl/Redmond think of the hand, particularly the sizing? I often tend to go smaller postflop in MTTs cos I prefer to play lots of small pots and it helps when you're opening alot and bluffing a fair bit. It just seems to get the same 'answer' most of the time with your bluffs as a bigger bet does and gets called wider when we're going for value.

    Do you think it's too small in this hand?

    Hand ID: 761630977

    Don't do this. It's not fair to the other players for you to play on multiple accounts and it is against the rules on every online poker site. The experience you gain playing with particular opponents, without them knowing you're the same player is an unfair advantage.

    Most people do this without realising it's against the rules, which is understandable. Just don't be doing it again. ;)
