Hi,
     I have a Q for Ross tonight. When playing in a low level tournament, I have seen players go all-in, pre-flop, when on the button. If the blinds fold, they win 35 chips, for a bet of around 2000. Worst case, one of the blinds may have a good hand and call them. Is this poker suicide ? If they do have a great hand (AA, KK or AK suited), surely trying to get money in the pot, betting the streets, would be a better strategy?

    Hi guys, pleasure as always to see you on our screen. Anna for her beauty, and Ross for his bright demeanor. I dont think I could ever envisage Ross in a bad mood. 

    Im grateful for another profitable year and my resolution for 2015 is to put more effort off the tables to improve my game and go for a Main event Final Table.

    As for predictions? I think I will gor for our very own Ryan Spittles to take down a major live MTT title. (hastag - kind find it on my keyboard lol)GoRyan

    Hi Guys, good to see you both on. Where's another funky jumper Jarvs? Surely you can top the ski effort.

    2015 will be the year of the # when clothes shops decide that we are not all one direction esq and want normal fitting clothes (not spray on jeans - and yes that is a type of jeans apparently!) Shame that a 27 year old needs to think like that!! haha

    Well poker wise I went all the way theough the satalite route from the lowest level to qualifying for the UKPC, the UKPC 6 MAX, and the Punta Cana. None of these would I have done otherwise.Obviously this was incredibly lucky, I can only hope to do the same again next year

    Thanks for the seat into tonights mini as a prize from last night's show, but, on the second hand....


    Went all in with Kings, up against Queens and a Queen came on the Turn. Exit FCHD stage left, and filling my seat on the table, one Laura C!

    Anna - you wanted another limerick...

    Ross's shirt tonight is principally beige
    How did that get past the people backstage?
    You'd think he'd be smarter
    But that's prob'ly a non-starter
    When he's only being paid minimum wage!

    Nothing interesting to contribute but wanted you to know you're not talking to yourselves.

    Can I have a prize if I promise not to post any of my exit hands from tonights games?

    This aint the main event, it's the £22 UKOPS BH but thought I'd send it in for a comedy/crazy hand. Can't remember the last time I saw so many stacks go in on the flop

    Hey Anna and Ross, sounds like you are feeling a bit lonely!  I am watching the show but not playing in the main as its a bit steep for me - playing a few dyms instead.

    My resolution for 2015 is to have a month when I earn over the magical 3000 poker points.  I'm not sure which month yet as it'll have to be one where I don't have much else going on!

    Oh and my non poker resolution is to get a first in my degree - finals in June and I need to work very hard and be one of those boring people you were talking about!  Not sure whether these resolutions go very well together...

    Evening Anna and Ross, hate to see a lady and a fellow Ross flsutered on live TV so thought I'd say hi. What I'm grateful for in 2014 is the help and advice from some good friends who've helped my game kick on in last 6 months.  So the obvious and boring answer for 2015 goals is to keep improving, keep winning and keep enjoying the game and the great friends its given me.

    Hi Anna and Ross. 2015 will be the year of the #failednewyearspokerresolutionsagain

    Every year I say I'm going to try to satellite into a big live tourney, watch poker training vids and read poker books. Never happens and I expect next year I'll start with gd intentions.
    Regards,
    Mohican.

    Good evening Anna and Ross.

    Can you remind me to put the recycling bin out just before you go off air tonight? Thanks. :-)

    Things I was grateful for in 2014:

    My poker profits were disappointing... but they were profits.

    That X Men movie was good, wasn't it?

    Plans for 2015:

    Mend fences with someone important... a girl someone. She currently hates me but I'm hopeful. :-/

    Make less disappointing poker profits.


    2015 will be the year of the...

    #GrownMenInBonnets

    Well, we can hope.


    Not a very good message, I know. You were whinging, though, so I rushed it.
