Thursday Night Live with Sarah Champion and Stuart Rutter *****show thread*****
Hullo! How have you been!? It’s been a while... I’ve moved house and got no broadband for TWO WHOLE WEEKS! HOW WILL I LIVE!? *deep breaths*
So! Couple of topics ahead of tomorrow night’s live show:
Is Poker a sport or a game?
I heard this being discussed on a Radio Show recently and in summary the general consensus was that anything you don’t have to be physically fit for, i.e Poker, Snooker, Darts is NOT a sport, it’s a game. They’re words, not mine! Any thoughts?…
And finally: if you were a poker hand, which would you be and why? Sounds like an old Blind Date question that one but I thought we’d give it a go! I’d love to say Pocket Jacks on the basis I’m quite difficult to play but that’s simply not true… I’ll think of something better for the show!
Here’s how it’s shaping up:
7pm Tonight on Sky Poker - Live coverage of our Master Cash tables
8pm Top Of The Pots - Top 10 biggest pots of the week from the Master Cash tables
9pm The Poker Clinic - Looking at Charlotte Jackson’s play as she takes on the Main and Mini
10pm Live Master Cash action
11pm Sky Poker Highlights from the late stages of the 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter
GL and see you from 7

Sport of Game?
Its interesting that the Olympics are called the Olympic "Games"
But there are some events in there that you don't have to be that physically fit for.
i.e.
Archery
Shooting
Golf
Anyway have a good show, i'll probably miss it as i'm off out to see a mate who's got me a ticket to see The Lambrettas on Bournemouth Pier on Sunday night ! :-)
Would it be possible to give a shout out for the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack on tonights show.
The great man himself Mr Julian Thew has agreed to play £2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK on the 4th June, also some other top players have also agreed to play on the 4th June, i would also consider it an honour if yourself and Mr Rutter could spare the time to participate.
All the best

*wheelchair 'sports' notwithstanding
Just a quick pre-show announcement that tonight the part of 'Stuart Rutter' will be played by 'Tony tikay Kendall'
See you in a few! xx
Well now, there's a thing.
Have you tried the new Sky Poker App yet?
When did you download it? How long did it take to download?
If so, tell us the most unusual place where you have so far played via the new Sky Poker App.
In the Bus Queue?
On the train?
At the Mother-in-Laws?
In bed?
Whilst watching TV. (You have to name the Show).
At work?
Let us know via the Show Thread, or Twitter.
If we get some decent answers, we might be able to persuade Mr Producer to find a prize or two.
And don't forget, there are 50% EXTRA REWARD POINTS from 6pm this evening until Midnight Sunday on the Sky Poker Cash Tables.
but then again Sarah,with a body like yours we certainly could make it a sport.
but what could we call the sport
any ideas?
Sent a post in earlier when Mr Rutter was due on show, as earlier post said the great man himself Mr Thew has agreed to play the £2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK on the 4th June , would be excellent if you could also find the time to participate as you were the person to first get the ball rolling, and are considered by many to be the ENGLISH Doyle Brunson.
All the best

P.S CTBN HAS SAID HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY AS WELL.

If I was a poker hand I'd be Pocket Aces. For obvious reasons - I'm the best... and... everyone's always happy to see me at the tables. lol
That works well with you being pocket Jacks too, Sarah, because of course I beat you four times out of five.
Poker is a game, not a sport. On any given day, without outside interference or officiating errors, the best competitors will always win in a sport. Sometimes injury or force majeure affect the outcome but otherwise the team that plays the best will win; The fastest runner wins the race.
In poker, the element of chance means that the player that plays the best may lose. That makes Poker a game of chance and not a sport.
Horse racing is not a sport, either. Not for the jockey anyway. He's just clinging on and pointing the horse in the right direction. The horse does all the work.
Have a great show.
Found a photo of Tikay just after make-up prior to the start of the show lol

id say its a game, we do say "im playing a game of poker tonight"
if I was a hand id probally be 72off, mainly im not very good, I have too flop the world too win so I need luck rather than skill, or would have too try and bluff it through and get called and look silly anyway.
