The MasterCash BIG GAME tonight. With LML & Davina McCall
However.......
Davina is sadly UNAVAILABLE, (wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii) so instead, LML will have the uber-dubious pleasure of me as Co-Pilot. And that's her first bad-beat of the night.
Bit of a special Show tonight, as we plan - "plan" being the operative word, because this is all a bit hairy to set up - to have, for only the second time ever on Sky Poker Channel 865 - some BIG GAME action.
"BIG GAME" is a cash game, £5 £10 Blinds, with a MINIMUM pull-up of £1,000. It will take place on the ingeniously named "BIG GAME 1" Table. With, respectively, BIG GAME 2, 3, 4 & even 5 as back up if & when "BIG GAME 1" fills up.
We have spoken to a few players, & I won't give names right now, but there may well be a stonking line-up of Sky Poker nosebleed-level players tonight.
We may well back up BIG GAME with some action from the MASTERCASH Tables, too.
There's more, too, with Live phone-Calls lined up with, we hope, GliterBabe, Sparcey, & maybe a few others.
"So, tell us how you feel, after losing that £4,300 pot?".
And to round-off what we hope will be a cracking evening's Cash from the Sky Poker Tables, at 11pm, it's a whole one hour of "TOP OF THE POTS"!
And, as Billy Cotton used to say on the BBC Home Service, in the Billy Cotton Band Show, "thats yer lot".
Comments
ooh, just remembered!
Where ARE those "BIG GAME" Tables?
Well, "BIG GAME 1" will appear in the Lobby at about 7.30pm. Once that gets 3 or more players, "BIG GAME 2" will spawn (ewwww), rinse repeat "BIG GAME 3" etc.
So, keep an eye on the Poker Lobby Cash Game section.
I just had a sneaky peek, & I notice some of the boyz are already limbering up around the various Cash Tables already.
Do we want e-Mails? Yessirree, I think we do!
It'd be kinda neat to try to have e-Mails which discuss the BIG GAME play if possible.
Usual addy - "skyopen@bskyb.com"
We'd kinda like to Televise these BIG GAME's as often as possible - so if you enjoy them, help us rev up tonight's show with a good selection of e-Mails.
Over to you.
Have a great show, LM your Tapatio hot sauce is in the bag!
Dave and Sian
I have a question for you. As someone who occasionally plays cash(at 5/10p), and only knows one or two players at that level. How does one have to change your game, or what do you need to do, in order to be successful, against players you know all the time(like these guys on the Big Game).
I'm out tonight for a few bevvies, so i'm Sky+ing, but i know you will good tonight with your new specs(at least your trying to look intelligent hehe). Oh and Lisa Marie will look her normally scrumptiously gorgeous self xxx.
Have a great show.
col
Love ya Gramps
GL to you both in the show tonight!!
WAKEY WAKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I just had a sneaky peek, & I notice some of the boyz are already limbering up around the various Cash Tables already. "
Why is it that some of these guys will sit and wait at tables when others are availible but they choose not to sit at those and play certain players?
Sky poker then puts the 'Big game' on for them and all of a sudden they play each other.
PS. Davina McCall is hosting the Poker Awards next month.
Good luck to all in the Big Game tonight as the lunatics take over the asylum! Should be fun!
And I hope you two have a great show as usual!
Chris
watching these high stakes is fun!!
lets hope they do this every week now................
and maxally they are only playing each other as its on tv and for the bravado i guess???
apparently one high stakes player will only ever play against the weak players usually
LML - A "Googly" is when a right arm leg spinner* turns the ball from off (left) to leg (right) instead of from leg to off to a right handed batsman - it has nothing to do with coming around the wicket like Tikay said earlier - don't let him bluff you! 8- />
*Or from leg to off if it is a left arm leg spinner. A left arm leg spinner is better known as a "Chinaman" in cricket.
dicuss.. what's that about? great show.

A bit sickened they never let me sit down with my £42 br, but hey-ho.
I wonder though. Do you reckon these guys totally change their game because it's there for all to see? I probably would.
Brilliant point about playing with better players though. I learn so SO much when I find myself at a table with some of the bigger names on here. I lose money obviously, but it's all a means to an end.
Joined "The Big Game 1" table from 19:30 and the entertainment started there. Had a nice chat with Sparce, got him to vote in the British Poker Awards and then settled in for a evening's poker.
Playing a PLO8 and NLHE cash table whilst railing The Big Game 1 table and watching the show kept me busy!
It really added something to the night, watching, railing and not only having the interaction with the gallery but also chatting with Tikay and Lisa-Marie. The direct communication from the players to the show made it so much more interesting for hand feedback and analysis.
Hope to see a lot more shows like this, possibly dropping down levels but staying with the same tables for an evening. There are plenty of levels lower that would still be classed as a Big Game that would draw many more players.
Well done on a great show.
Aaron
Notes from tonight:
Tikay's glasses look great on him, either pair!
Lisa-Marie looks great sat down
(who needs legs, we know they're there).
Lisa-Marie's keyboard is loud.
Ling can't play on the Big Game and Produce.
Mandy picks great hands.
Players at £5/£10 are insane!
Agree with him up there ^^^^ - LM your keyboard is very loud, or you're a hard key presser. Fast typing though, we'll have to have a race some time
Only criticism - there hasn't been any email / forum post interaction so far (about an hour and a half in). Love Sky Poker for that aspect of the show
