Grab a bounty! (***OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***)

J-Hartigan

I am, of course, referring to the financial reward for eliminating a player from tonight's main event, not the popular chocolate snack.

The tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of £10,000 and starts at 8pm.  It costs £22 to enter.  Registration is open!

The TV show - hosted by Ed Giddins (Lisa-Marie: please note spelling) and myself - also starts at 8pm on channel 865.

And, from 10pm, we'll also be live on Sky Sports 4 & Sky Sports HD 4.  I should point out that we won't actually be broadcasting in high definition.  Instead, a rather elaborate piece of kit will upscale the transmission signal to 1080i.  Fascinating, I know...

Anyways, this is the place to offer your poker questions and hand requests from this evening's tournament.

For the first couple of hours, we'll also be having a bit of fun, visiting some of the more amusing contributions to DAIBOOT's 'DESCRIBE THE SKY PLAYERS' thread.  It's HERE, in case you haven't seen it.

Apart from acebarry10, no-one's suggested a good description for Mr Giddins.  So I encourage you to post away.  Suffice to say, the more scandalous, the better!  Not TOO scandalous, mind you, otherwise we'll get censured by Ofcom

Er...why?

I'll also be reporting back from the World Series of Poker Europe at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square.

Spent a bit of time there yesterday and today.

Actually, I was there for the better part of an hour today (with Nick Wealthall).  Didn't see Tikay or Orford.  Slackers.

It's in the north...they have an Etap.  Hell of a sales pitch, Dave!

Mr Giddins is in the building!

Which reminds me - if you'd like your Ed acronym read out on live television, it would be very helpful if you could post it in this thread.

Thanks

i guess it;s too long to read out but singing would be fine.  sung to the tune of "M-O-T-H-E-R"

"J" is for the joy that surrounds you
"-" is for your dashing good looks
"H" is for your keen sense of humour
"a" is for our amusing times with you
"r" is for your writing that informs us
"t" is for the teaching that you give
"i" is the for your intellect and modesty
"g" is that you're a gift to the world of poker
"a" is for the keen analysis that engages all
"n" is for your neutral, non-confrontational style
put them all together they spell Ed Giddens (note the spelling LML)

Have a good show tonight James and Ed

Thanks for showing Ertikins' hand. Now all Sky Poker players know just how much he raises from the button.

However, having said that I disagree with the comments on the 4 high flop. Surely checking here is letting luck happen and if a Q or a J come along, then you only have yourself to blame.

Any thoughts?

hi guys.. u just showed the hand i asked you 2.. u analysed it from the other guys pov... i had flush vs opponants set.. not otherway around

You wont get the amount they advertise

because the cable to your road will be capable of "20meg" but your whole road will be using that cable. 

so theoretically you could get 20 if no one else was online AND the other end is capable of providing it at that speed.

edit the technical term to make non techy people understand is contention ratio.

geeek

but yeah Ed if you ever need a faster line see if BE Broadband are available in your area.  they use a more advanced technology to deliver faster and more reliable connection, with little difference in price.

when i moved BT told me that 6MB was the maximum I could hope to get.  With BE I get between 20 to 24MB and have been told that 50MB is available soon.
