    No, can't play it Dave - I'm doing the Show, with D P Fitzgerald. And - subject to confirmation - more later - a VERY special guest.

    Prop Bet on field size?

    Well it won't be 650!

    I'll play safe, & go for 312.

    Online Poker Traffic is the weirdest thing, & is very seasonal. The "light nights", school holidays, summer hols, all affect traffic, just as, amazingly, Champions League Football, The Olympics,  Eurovision Song Contest (!), & suchlike do similarly.

    If tonight were in, say, October, I'd go for your figure - that's how much seasonality affects Online Poker, the Online world over.

    One of the Major Online Sites had a Fessie this week - & struggled to make 50 runners most nights, for Tourneys for which they'd normally expect 200 runners minimum. The Tourney Guarantees on all Major Sites have all been significantly lowered this month, too.

    Which is why I remain very optimistic that the nightly £20 Deepie will make tidy fields - 70 or 80 - come the Winter.

    Dave you're a long way off with 650. We did a prop bet on the field size for the last one, and I believe Tikay actually got the closest with something stupid like 312!

    And now just to wind him up, i'm going to take 313!!

    Might play in this one. Just got back from holiday and have some spare euros to cash up which should cover the buy-in. I've spent the last 2 days lying in bed ill (Swine Flu?) so it'll be good to get a good nights of poker in.

    Prop bet? 291 runners

    Anything with a nice overlay will do me :)

    245 runners plzzzz

    Hope you are better soon Youngun (Neil,right?) 

    Oh dear I really was wide of the mark!

    Taking the sage words of TK I will re-adjust my guess to 297!

    Sucks Tikay
    Double Qualified and through only to be told by her in doors we had a prior engagement.
    Have had to pull out and Sky will put me into one in the future, would have been my first one too.
    The Prior engagement
    Birthday;NO
    Anninversary:NO
    Funeral:NO
    On a Promise:Definately NO
    Harry Potter:YES
    I`m welling up here, why does she not know priorities.

    So, tonight's Guest - James Dempsey. Bit special, is James, aka "Royal Flush".

    This is the modern-day Poker Pro. Online, almost totally, he get's bored Live.

    One of Britain's most successful Poker Pros, he's had two Cashes alone this year which Aggregate over $300,000, & he nets a five-figure Cash most weeks. More a Tourney player than Cash, but can do either.

    Most nights he enters 12 or 14 Tourneys, & he regularly 10 or 12 Tables. 

    He's also brash, outspoken, & not a little plump. We've been friends for years, & we are Business Partners in another life. 

    He lives in Brighton, until recently sharing a flat with recent WSOP bangle Winner J P Kelly.

    His problem is that he knows everything - or thinks he does, & we often - nay, always - argue.

    He likes to Jam when he's down to 20 x BB, & regularly Calls with nonsense like 2 high. Whereas I play properly, know what I mean?

    I'm told he plans to stand in the Analysts Position tonight? Oh really? If he wants my job, he needs to show he's got what it takes. And he has not.

    Put yer money on me. Old Skool Rules.

    To celebrate his appearance, Ladies World Champ 'Ling - tonight's Producer - has LOTS of Books to give away. Lots.

    So get those e-mails in. NOW. "skyopen@bskyb.com".

    Well, have you written in yet?

    Sob sob cry cry........ I have never been so offended! I think Tikay is worried by the competition and has resorted to playground name calling.  And to think, I have written nice things about u in my next unpublished blog.

    Prop Bet on 250? Nah. You'll lose. It'll be more than that. I hope.......

    I'm sticking with my prediction. 312.

    OK, rehearsal awaits.

    Good Luck to all who play this tonight, & don't forgert the Mini View 1 & Mini-View 2, at 9.40 (?) & 9.45 (?), where Sky Poker will double your winnings if you cash in both. See seperate thread.
