Tonight's Live Show - Better than The Big Debate.
Yes, forget Mr Brown, Mr Cameron, & Mr Clegg.
Tonight, the REAL Live Debate will be on Channel 865, & we NEED your questions.
The subject of the debate will be "What about the Poker Economy?". Here's the sort of questions we need.
1) What about the poker economy?
2) Should the Government introduce Poker Freerolls?
3) Does Poker need to be introduced into the education curriculum?
4) Should Poker Winnings be taxed? (Imagine being able to claim back Poker losses!).
5) What can Rich Orford do to stop his rapid hair loss?
We will be on-air from 8pm until Midnight, & will be covering.....
a) Tonight's Main Event, the Sky Sports NL Hold Em, which carries an £11 entry tag, 10 minute blinds, & 2,000 starting chips. The winner, of course, gets a bonus of free entry to the coveted £8,000 Guaranteed Sky Sports DS on May 27th.
b) Tonight's VLV Quarter-Final (well as much as we are able), which begins at 9pm. It's a very important week for VLV, too, as the second of our three VLV Finals is THIS Sunday, & will be covered on Sunday evening's Live Show.
Tonight's Show is NOT Simulcast, so we could misbehave, were it not for the fact that tonight's Producers are Sky-Ling & Sky Mandy, who, when it comes to looks of admonishment that would turn a man to stone, are not far behind Ayatollah Attila The Hen.
So, best behaviour, socks pulled right up to our knees. And DON'T MENTION Rich's hair. Right?
Comments
There will be some free poker goodies (Sky Poker Stress-Ball, Sky Poker Cap) for the BEST e-Mail.
It will NOT be necessary to mention Rich's hair loss to win the Best e-Mail prize.*
* That is not true.

Or is that mass debate?
(Mods- ban me please...)
If Billy has 4 to a flush with 2 cards to come, what is the statistical likelihood of him finishing the hand ahead if he is all in against one opponent with trips.....
John is following Chris Ferguson's bankroll managment guide. If John has a roll of 450 quid, how big a buy in MTT can he afford to play?
etc etc
Ooh - I forgot to mention - tonight's Phone-Guest will be "luvBWFC".
I suppose I could be criticised for that, but really it would be splitting hairs.
Forever the charmer!!!! :-/
Having said all that, 'Friar Orford' does have a certain ring to it.
And I actually quite like Richard's wig. I'm having a copy made up as we speak
Currently working on t-shirts for you both to wear sometime, hopefully ready by Glasgow......no clues
Ps Rich will always "own" tikay
Mr Brown limps under the gun.Mr Cameron re-raises out of the small blind.Mr Clegg is sitting on the big blind and suspects Mr Cameron of bluffing, and makes a call with 45of clubs.
The action comes round to Mr Brown, and he thinks his chances are good, and his time for a double up is now. He pushes all in with Jacks.
Mr Cameron calls, putting himself all in with AK of Clubs.
Mr Clegg short stacked, thinks this is a great chance of a triple up, and decides to make the call with his hand.
The flop comes. 9 of Diamonds. 6 of Clubs, 7 of Clubs.
Mr Browns hand is still good. barely. Mr Clegg has an open ended straight flush draw, and Mr Cameron has the Ace high floor draw.
The turn comes a 8 of hearts.Helping no one, but giving the board a open ended straight draw.
The dealer announces the river will not be dealt until the 6th of May.
Will the under dog pre flop, Mr Clegg hit his straight flush?
Will Mr Browns Jacks hold up?
Will Mr Cameron hit an Ace or King, or even his flush?
Or maybe, just maybe, a 5 that isnt a club with come, and split the pot..
i have a early hand request 254797130

1144 BST: Mr Orford wanders round the car park looking for his car.
1305 BST: Mr Orford drives away from the studio - while still wearing his microphone.
Mr Orford: That was a disaster. Should never have put me with that woman, Lisa-Marie I think ... whose idea was that?
Second voice (Tikay, in Orfords head): I don't know, I didn't see her face, she was in the red dress.
Mr Orford: It's Sky_Ling, I think. It's just ridiculous. (Muffled sounds)
Second voice (Tikay, in Orfords head): What did she say?
Mr Orford: Ugh, everything, AJ is the nuts - she's just a sort of big-somethinged woman, said she used to be a Lisa-plop. It's just ridiculous.
