    Rich, can you have a go at the graphic  people please?

    On the ticker, we are still getting urged to get involved with the UKOPS series that finished a fortnight ago!

    1st day of a superstack 2-day event - about 40 runners - and then they started disappearing.....

    #1 is stopped at the check-in
    #2  is asked to leave after 15 mins
    #3 never comes back after the dinner break (having been recognised on the security cameras during dinner)

    the rest of us were looking over our shoulders for when it was our turn!

    Live Poker Story,

    Hi Rich, this story wasn't funny at the time but makes me smile every time I think about it.

    On my first visit to DTD on my own for a live game at a freeze out feeling very nervous, I made my way to the bar got a drink, then I looked around to find someone to talk to, hoping to find out how it all works.
    I went and stood next to this guy who was about 6 foot ten and towered above me!!
    We were chatting, I ask him how it all works he was very helpful, then I looked up at him in his dark glasses and ask "do they all wear these sunglasses to frighten and intimidate other players? (Big mistake).  He looked down at me and said "I'm partially Sighted"

    I said oh sorry and moved on swiftly, I could have crawled under the carpet!! 

    Steve

    Hi all,

    Really enjoying the show albeit feeling a bit left out on the forum chat as I have never played a live tournament. It is something I would very much love to do though.

    I have played plenty of home games, where much of the comedy comes from "educating" the newer players who join.

    Having to explain why 6 card straights and 3 pairs are really just a straight and 2 pair and are therefore split pots has taken some diplomatic language.

    The worst situation though was having to request someone post a blind who didnt accept that they still had to having just bust a player. They didnt understand the rules regarding the button moving to the dead player so that the SB and BB sequence continued. I nearly got punched for my trouble - and this was with mates,

    All of this kind of puts me off self dealt events. Wondering what the guys think of self-dealt events (if they can remember that far back in their career) and whether they have any stories from them, or advice about how to handle them?

    In Response to Re: Sky Poker TV UKPC Special LIVE TONIGHT 7pm- with Rich, Ryan and guests Leigh Wiltshire and Paul Haycock ***official message thread***:
    The floor approaches a player seated behind me at another table in the 1 seat. Apparently the player is so drunk that he can't keep up with the game at all and basically has no idea what's going on.  Floor asks the player to come with him telling him he will get him some food at the buffet. The player agrees, stands up, and projectile vomits all over the table, his chips, his neighbor's chips, and the dealer's tray. I have never seen a table clear so fast since

    Playing in my local pub game about 7 years ago. Usual set up, 2 tables of 8, seats decided by drawing A-8 from both decks.

    I draw the 7 of diamonds and take my seat ready for action.  Action starts and I get dealt in, observing everything in great detail as usual.

    Play procedes for an hour or more and on a new deal I squeeze out the 9 of hearts, slide it over the top of my other card and squeeze out the 9 of hearts. 

    A bit confused I again slide the 9 of hearts above my second card and peel the corner to reveal the 9 of hearts. 

    Annoyed at my inability to carefully view my own hand I grab the two cards off the table and see I was in fact dealt a suited pocket pair.

    Got a good laugh from everyone at both tables, never seen anything like it before or since.

    great show guys and great insight, keep up the good work.

    Hi rich n ryan + guests great show 

    I remember when playing a cash game a few years ago with freinds + this new guy who has only played poker a couple of times playing cash game blinds 25p/50p max sit down was £50 so me and my m8es sat down with £50 
    the new guy just wanted to sit down with £10 here is where the fun starts  3hands in he looks at his cards and then announces at the table that he would like to sit down with the maximum of £50  we all laughed and folded are hands preflop  

    he said why are u all laughing still dnt get it we said u obv have a premium hand kk or aa he said why that i said well bit of a give away when u said u wanted to sit down with the maximum after looking at your cards haha 

    long story but still find it funny btw he showed aces :)

    Evening gents

    Just before Christmas the old man Mr Dyer made me leave the house and we played a live comp at Aspers Stratford. I managed a min cash and as the old man was still in I decided to stick around and play the afternoon rebuy comp. There was a couple of young guys one of whom was very inexperienced. We get an all in situation and one guy has a full house and the inexperienced guy has a flush. Dealer starts to push the pot to the guy with the full house until I point out that the winning hand is in fact the straight flush that the inexperienced guy had!

    Question to the guests, how would you rate Andy Young for the following

    Ability on the tables
    Choice of jumpers
