    Question: Is Sunday the first live show of the week? Or Tuesday?

     

    Because depending on how you view it, it's time for the first/second (delete as applicable) live show of the week.

     

    And what a first/second show we have for you...

     

    Filling up your screens will be...

     

    Richard Orford!

     

    The old dear!


     

     

    And friend of the show and all-round SNG guru...

    James Atkin!


    And we've messed around with the format to bring you something a little different this time. Behold..!



    7pm- The final table from Sunday's £20K Summer Roller

     

    8pm- Live action from Sky Poker's SNGs- so we get the expert take from one of Britain's best players at that format. That's James before you ask, not Tikay.


    9pm-midnight Live: The Sky Poker Cup... the whole darn shooting match.


    Yep, this Tuesday night we're going mano-a-mano mental. 16 players will slug it out in a heads-up knockout fest where the runner-up gets £3K and the winner gets £5K. And we'll be all over it.

     

    The 16 runners were the players last month who posted the best return on investments on SNGs on Sky Poker, so the quality on display here is going to be absolutely outstanding. Prepare yourself for a heads-up masterclass!

    Send in your messages and hand requests and your poker questions for James and Tikay (especially your SNG and heads-up ones).

    Also- take heed that Tuesday night is the night of our weekly Last Longer competition!

    If you're playing in the main event tell us on this thread that you want in on the last longer and the player that goes deepest out of those who enter will win a Sky Poker tournament entry (to be announced on the night).

     

    And finally, let's do more of your...

    Regards,
    Arthur.

    Richard, am I right to think there is no live show on Thursday? Am I also right to think that Sunday's show will be the last until two weeks today?

    I am going to kick up such a stink about this if I'm right... What am I supposed to do for all that time?! Nobody ever considers how these things will affect me!!! :'-(


    Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Atkin on the show again. Good luck to everyone in the heads up tournament. I might come up with some multiple choice questions later, when Tikay can't look at the show thread without being rumbled live on telly.


    Have a great show chaps.

    All I know Borin is that I'm not doing the show until a fortnight today- so I assume if I'm not doing it then they simply close everything down in mourning.

    Either that, or the UKPC is on.

    hi cardu,

    the answer is (d) 1,758,275/1


    hand 1 is a given.

    hand 2: chance of first card being same is 2 opprtunities from 52 cards (1/26) multplied by chance of second card being the same is 1 opportunity from 51 cards (1/51).  that is 1 in 1,326.

    hand 3 is the same, 1 in 1,326.

    hands 1 x 2 x 3 = 1,758,276
