    Right....I've done it.  I've led by example.  My very 'imaginative' poker face will be making it's debut on Monday night at 8pm. 

    DP joined me in the photo taking - so please be sure to keep your children away from the TV to avoid any later nightmares!!  I'll be extremely upset if the rest of you don't get your photos sent in now - I've done as I was asked, so now it's your turn.  I can't wait :)

    I want to pick your brains.........

    If you're playing a big tourney - online or live - do you ever try and research some of your opponents in advance??  If so, how far have gone to try and get the skinny on your adversaries?

    I have only just started doing background research on players at my tables, but not in big tournys.  I have already found it useful in SNG's and DYM's to see who I am up against and who to be in pots with.  It's early days but it seems to be paying off for me.

    If I am playing against LM then I often try and get the full skinny, without success so far.

    The World Cup is upon us, and I am sure the majority of us here will be putting all our energy into cheering on England.  BUT, what if we weren't in the running - who would you be backing and why?

    Let us know your thoughts and reasons here and we may even ask you to participate in the show.

    Do it for your country!!!!!

    If I wasnt supporting England I would be backing Spain as I am a Troglodyte and have a cave house there.

      Hi Rich & Tony

          Could you show this hand please its from MC1 (4p/8p) at around 7-10pm on 26th june 2010
        Firstly i had pocket 44's & i never know what the best bet is to do with these (help please) so i called 16p pre then  flop came 4d Ah Jd so i checked it was raised to 68p was called so i raised it to £3-40 ( was this the right thing to do) was worried about possible flush draw had 1 caller so put him on either 2 pair or flush draw or straight as he had been calling a lot previously turn came Ks so i shoved all - in he called  river was 6s  its the biggest pot i've won at this level so far & worth a look due to the action

      the hand number is    
    # 268325502 

      many thanks

      Michael  aka  dtwbandit

    Hi guys could you please show this hand - #268515579 - it was on yesterdays £55 Sunday DS about half seven or so.

    I just basically want to know if it was a bad fold or not, I was in front of two very good players in the small blind with AK off and  after the under the gun player raised to 3 bigs, with the button calling. I raise to about 8 bigs I think. I get called by UTG and then  button raises to about 25 big blinds. I  didn't really want to get into battle OOP with a potential coin flip or even less of a chance if UTG calls too. So I fold, so does UTG and the button takes it down.

    My first thought after the hand was UTG maybe had a low pair or suited connectors and the button had a blinding hand (hence the call the first time round and then the re-raise over the top second time round as he was perhaps happy to just take down a pot of that size)

    After thinking it through though I thought perhaps the raise/call by UTG showed the button some weakness and he must have thought UTG had, like I thought, a marginal hand and thought I was squeezing so re-raised to get some real information. 

    How should I deal with this in future guys bearing in mind the high buy-in and how early it was? These are the sort of hands I need to get right as I haven't been playing too long and I seem to get destroyed every tourney like this lol.

    Much appreciated. Sandez.
