Tonight's show! Bounty Hunter with Sarah and James
Hello folks!
Thursday night means its all about the Big Bounty Hunter Tournament, lots of hands, lots of action analysed throughout. Loving the live interaction via the chat boxes direct to the studio now and we have a couple of hot topics to get our teeth into tonight
1) Tracking software: We touched briefly on this last week but what are your thoughts? Does it mean that online poker is now a completely different game to live poker? Love to hear what you think...
2) Great gaffes! Still not bored of watching the weatherman gaffe this week (if you missed it youtube it, it involves an unfortunate cut of the camera, an obscene gesture and a desperate attempt to cover it up, its great!) So whats your greatest gaffe? On or off the poker table. Gone all in having mistaken a pair of 4's for a pair of Aces - flirted outrageuously with a female avatar only to find he's a 50 year old truck driver called Steve? you may laugh but it's happened... and to people I know.... ;-)
See you from 8

Rich Orford would never, ever flirt with a female avatar, cough, cough, cough hehehehehe
Are they REALLY the same game?
Are the differences just subtle nuances?
Do "Internet Players" under-rate things like physical tells?
We'd love to hear your thoughts...
DAI
Awkward moment followed......
My most embarrasing story would be when i first started playing poker which was when i joined Sky Poker
I flirted with Glitterbabe in the chatbox quite a bit
Was quite a while later i was told she was a man, RED FACE.
Other one was a hot summer when my son was about 3-4 years old, a huge body building type was walking towards us with his shirt off, after just passing us my son piped up "that man has big b oobs dad" Noooooooooo
Did not look around.
LOL

Hand History #282014822
One from my collection from a few years back.
Wifes Grandma was in hospital....never knew overly well as I had only met her a couple of times at that point, but she seemed a lovely old dear, a typical Granny.
She had a MASSIVE family, so was never short of visitors, but my missus who does not drive was a bit upset that she would not be able to get up to the Hospital until the weekend.
I was working in Grimsby, so told her I would pop-in on the way home from work between 7 and 8.
Got the details of the ward etc, so everything was under control.
On arriving at the hospital, I picked up some flowers and a couple of mags, the usual fare.....
Got up to the ward, had a squint in (as you do) and said to one of the nurses that I was here to see Hilda....Before I could get it out the surname, the old dear on the first bed was waving at me.
How are you? heres some flowers, etc. Felt a wee bit uncomfy because I don't like hanging about in Hospitals (who does?) we had a chat, she even asked how the kids were! and if I wouldn`t mind going soon as Eastenders was coming on shortly. Not a problem, suited me and I could come back at the weekend with the wife anyway.
She cranked up the telly, but no sooner had it came on, it went off. Out of credit.
Don't worry, I will get you one of the cards from the machine before I go Hilda.
£10 lighter at this point, as well as the flowers and mags, it turns out the wifes Gran was sound asleep at the other end of the ward and another old dear took advantage!!
Had trouble explaining it away when it turned out I had visited the wrong old Granny, but I was peeved that she let me buy her one of them £10 paitentline card for the phone/telly.
Doh.
greetings.
ONE of my many gaffes happened at work, as so many do. My co-worker had just taken an extra 50% on his lunch break leaving me short handed. As he had done this many times i was a LITTLE annoyed, so proceeded to give him a piece of my mind..swear words liberally included. After a bit my supervisor suggested that enough was enough and maybe i should moderate my language. As i was soooo angry my reply was.." Bleep bleep I don't bleeping well care if the bleeping manager was bleeping stood behind me. I'm going to let this bleeping bleepwit what i bleeping think."!!! It was at this point that i realised that my supervisor had gone a funny colour and was looking behind me. Yes the bleeping manager WAS behind me, and future was set!!!
best wishes

one time this other guy at the table realised what i wsa doing and would min re-raise me.
i once min 18bet folded. boredem ftw.
years ago as a seventeen year old, my best friend and i went back to his house having been in the pub. we were a wee bit drunk. his mum was in the kitchen with us chatting and joking when my gaffe occurred.
something was said which led to me throwing an empty cigarette packet towards his mum thinking that she would catch it. to my horror the empty packet spiralled through the air hitting her directly in the middle of her forehead. and my friends mum shouted out.
i wanted to apologise, to say that i was genuinely very sorry. i also wanted to say that it was only a empty packet and that i did not expect to cause her to shout out. what i actually said, inadvertently, merged those two thoughts together saying, "I'm sorry, I don't think that hurt." and was thrown out bemused.
