First of all, Happy Bank Holiday Weekend Poker Fiends out there! Hope you're well and have been enjoying it so far?
It's only been a week, but I am back in the studio Sunday evening with analyst Rylan, sorry Ryan Spittles We are going to be analysing a lot of play so make sure you are online with us!! In fact, you don't even need to be at home because the live stream is now available to watch on tablets and mobile devices!! If its sunny, maybe join us from a pub beer garden?! You'll be surprised how good the stream looks too. Even Orford manages to scrub up ok... and that's saying something!!
You can now also play cash games with SkyPoker on the Go, using an iPhone or iPad, so tell us where you might be playing from? Train? (well maybe not unless you're Tikay...), Bus? Bedroom? Bath?!
Check out the new and improved lobby for cash games on the go here:
The UKPC is obviously back too, which is really exciting news having watched the first episode air on Sky Sports earlier this week. Hope you enjoyed it if you caught it? It's always great seeing so many players of different abilities coming together to play in an event. Never in any other sport or game could that ever happen. It would be ludicrous to attempt a round of golf with Tiger or race against Hamilton. Yet in poker we can play with our idols. I once played in a tournament (it was a media tourney) with Triple Crown Winner Jake Cody. I didn't last very long!
Let us know if you have any great stories about playing an event with a poker idol or someone you were very impressed by?
How did you keep your calm?
I think it's also great the main event of the UKPC is going to be a 6-Max event too, after the success of that side event in February. Let us know if you plan to attend or attempt any of the satellites on SkyPoker.com?
Who would your dream table consist of?
In fact, if you want to rub shoulders with the stars of poker (and maybe a few of us lot) and attend the fantastic event in August at Nottingham's Dusk Til Dawn casino, I'm offering a free seat (worth £48) for the UKPC Semi-Final on Monday 5th May for the best contribution to us during the live show, either here on the forum or you can email us:
skyopen@bskyb.com or tweet us using #Skypokertv
Just make sure you are free to play on Monday as the seat is non-transferable
And finally not to forget what's going on... at 8pm not the SUPER roller but the MEGA ROLLER, that means a whopping £30,000 of guaranteed prizes. It's a big one folks so I hope you are getting yourselves registered!
Between 7pm - 8pm we'll be looking at the Final Table of Thursday's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter
Then 8pm - Midnight it will be live coverage from all of those hands in the MEGA ROLLER
So make sure to send us your hand requests so Ryan can analyse your play and help to improve your game.
I will no doubt see you at the felt.
Good Luck!!
