****Live Show Thread - Thursday 2nd October****
Well Hello again... I was only here last Thursday but I'm back, mainly because I don't want to lose face this week when you lot try to come and get me at the Master Cash tables!! Yes, I will be playing again LIVE on the show, so take that as an invite to join me 
And my partner in crime will be none other than everyone's favourite Vegas lap dance participant, RyRy!
And no... that joke will never become old...
Tonight we will also be giving away a couple of seats to Tuesday's Turbo Open, which thanks to Sky Poker Prize Boosts, has been given an extra £2k guarantee, from £5k to £7k. That means I will definitely be seeing you at the felt that night with such great value on offer!
All you need to do to win one of these is finish this sentence:
"Poker is not just a game of cards because......."
For me, poker has been a huge part of my life the last four years, so I could go on forever answering that one, but I'll leave it until the show for mine.
The best responses will win a seat, so make sure you can play on Tuesday!

Don't forget as always to let us know if you've been playing any mastercash, s&g's or tournaments on the go on the new app and send any other thoughts, questions, anecdotes, love letters and whatnot to Ryan and myself.
Until then....
(that's a horse, not a donkey... because none of you are those...)

Poker is not just a game of cards because
-over one PFAI hand it's something like 75% luck.
-Over one average cash hand it can be anywhere between 30 and 60% luck, depending on how thinly you play and your skill gap to your villains (a solid, nitty 19/17 TAG at a table full of fish might rely as little as 20% per hand on luck).
-over one STT it's probably 50-60%-ish luck.
-over one MTT it's seriously something like 90% luck or more, which is why I hate MTTs. You just cannot avoid being all-in preflop a dozen times over the course of a tourney, and the odds of winning ALL those flips (or even just enough to stay alive) are massively stacked against you.
"Poker is not just a game of cards because......."
your telling lies so either stop bluffing or i'll call the experts
How else for a "Punta Can a" dream become reality?
Love the show, especially Richard Orford.

the flop was also done to defend from AK KQ.
when he called and the Q hits i got worried he hits a set with QQ and it does allow free cards to other middle or high pairs and as for the river i mimiced a stone cold bet
