On the show tonight, we'l be showing Sunday's Super Roller final table, we'll also be showing the Mini Roller final table, we'll be dipping in to some Master Cash tables too, and we ofcourse will have coverage of tonight's main event that starts at 8pm - the Tuesday Turbo Open! Make sure you get your seat in to that one now!
We'll also be giving away a couple free £33 seats into Thursday's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter to our favourite contributions to the show so make sure you get in touch with your questions for Stu, your hand requests, and your banter too.
I took down my Christmas tree last night, and made sure I did so even though I really couldn't be bothered, mainly because I've been told that it's terribly bad luck if you leave it up after the 6th of January - WHICH IS TODAY. Very scary for a superstitious person like me. So with that in mind, for a bit of banter and fun on the show tonight, I wanna know:
Do YOU have any poker supersitions, pre-tourny or pre-hand rituals that you have to carry out for luck? Or perhaps if you have to wear a pair of lucky pants?!?!

1) Turn over my card protector after each hand (playing live)
2) Shout "Go Magic Threes" every time three comes on the flop (It helps to have pocket three by the third time though)
3) Wear pants - I consider that to be lucky. In fact online that is probably all you need to wear
4) Never drink alcohol although this is probably good sense rather than superstition
5) Never look at my cards until it is my turn when I am in the blinds
6) Always look at my cards one at a time in every other position
Have a great show guys!
I don't have any superstitions, I'm not really a superstitious person and it's never done me any harm..............touch wood.
I am often shouting at the screen though.....please no ace please no ace etc.. but it rarely works!
Have a great show
(Yes, it is a brag post!)
recent weeks i've been in down fall on cash tables and one of the problem i'm having is getting the maximum value.
when playing poker, they say you should be playing fish but when ever i'm playing, i seem better off playing against regs.
the serious problem i have with fish is getting a decent pot size because knowing they call such a wide range it's going to be so common for them to fold.
is a suited connector and small pocket pair going to be more likely to drain chips when the opponent is a fish?
Is there a last longer tonight or has that finished? If there is can you put me in please!!
Three Sixes – In Christian literature, 6-6-6 is the sign of the antichrist. Some players will fold if they see this combination appear on the flop, unwilling to “participate in Satan’s work.” Those same faithful folks probably don’t play roulette much either, where the sum of the numbers 1 through 36 add up to—you guessed it—666.
Almost every poker player brings a “charm” to the table, often a card protector like a lucky coin or a rabbit’s foot. One of the most famous is Doyle Brunson’s little $5 black rock; he calls it “Casper” because of its Ghostbusters logo. The trinket seemingly became so powerful that Texas Dolly could lease it out to other players at a rate of $200 for 30 minutes. He claims it has earned him over $15,000 in rental fees alone. One day, Howard Lederer offered $3,500 to buy Casper, and surprisingly Brunson agreed. But there was a caveat—the talisman would only become the Professor’s property upon the Texan’s death.
Poker & Sex – Football coaches tell their players to refrain from sexual relations before a big game because “it takes the edge off.” However, more than a few poker players believe the exact opposite. They swear that their play improves if they have sex the night before a big tournament. They even have a name for it: “getting lucky.”

holding bottom set i've become concerned with the paired board on the turn, now they do say you should never fold a full housr, my thought here is i've did a reraise on the flop which on these boards does normally have lots of sets, therefore i'm thinking his shove on the turn does look more like a full house and in honesty was the reason i Ch.Q when a board has got lots of two pair combos likely could i have folded my full house or would it be playing far too tight?
