The all-new £15,000 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter with Rich and Ed- the official live show thread

edited November 2010 in Poker Chat
Gooooood morrrrrrrrrnnng Vietnaaaaaaaaaammmm!

Hi all,

I'm revved up for another live sesh tonight starting at 8 as Ed and I present the new and improved Bounty Hunter with a massive £15K prize-pool guaranteed!

We'll be simulcasting on Sky Sports 4 from 10pm, so if you go deep in the tourney you can phone all your mates and tell them you're being commentated on on a live Sky Sports show. And just how many people in the country can say that- other than professional sports stars???

As usual- we'll keep things ticking along with all your emails and posts on this thread so please give us as much as you can. And don't forget to post your hand requests as well, with the hand id no. and your reasons for wanting it shown.

Later on- we'll be chatting on the phone to Team Sky Poker 'elder statesmen/warhorse/veteran' (which is my diplomatic way of saying 'the old one in the team') Wayne Rideout- aka Gliterbabe. ;)

And here's tonight's topic of conversation:

Celebrity encounters.

The funnier or more obscure the better. I've done this one before, but it's been a while since then, we have new players now and it's always a winner.

e.g. the time you chatted to Geoffrey from Rainbow at the urinals of a nightclub, or saw Danny Dyer hanging around  petrol forecourt looking bored etc.

Let's 'ave 'em!

    I met Shadow from Gladiators at an under 8's football tournament in a porta-cabin in Ayr.(pre steroid scandal). He didn't speak as his character didn't. I thought he was just stuck up!

    I have a couple.

    Jay Kay from Jamiroquai lived in the same village as me, and he knew my dad.  Me and my mates were waiting in line in the local fish and chip shop and he comes in...he recognises me and goes alright mate...I mention something like yeah really excited cos its my birthday tomorrow so he buys me and my mates our meals and then takes me into blockbuster lets me pick out a few videos and signs them...was pretty epic for a 9 year old tbf and still ahve the simpsons video in a box somewhere!

    ---------------------------------------

    couple of years ago was in the Palm Beach casino and a mate of mine starts telling the group he tried to buy some girl a drink but 'the stuck up cow just looked at me like dirt and laughed'...so the group all go to the bar and its Pamela Anderson.

    --------------------------------------

    was visiting some uni and go out to some of the student union bars.  turns out that this uni probably has one of the biggest celebrities of our time attending it....none other than the guy who played Bernard out of Bernards Watch.  as the night goes on people get more and more drunk and he gets so much abuse from everyone and he loses it and starts smashing the place up...apparently he had been taking said abuse for about 6 months or so and that night was the final straw

    -------------------------------------

    i was playing poker with some A-list TV presenter one night on cash.  he flopped the nuts and did me out of appprox 200 quid.  that was embarrasing.

    this name was on the tip off my toung for 30minites (probably not the best way to put it as he`s love`s men ), and that was kenny everate, 20 odd yrs ago he was staying in boship hotel ( knwow it ed ?) when he asked for a tray off tea, we`ll the waiting staff we`re too busy so they asked me a lowly kp ( no not kevin pietersen), to take it`s to his room well i`ve seen his shows with him half starkers but to see him starkers, i`m still having nitemares, guess the £30 tip i got helped me have a few drinks that nite,

    Evening chaps...

    After snaffling cheap tickets to watch England play Azerbaijan at St.James' Park we pulled into the services on the A1 to get something more substantial than a pukka pie for the journey...to our extreme dischuffedness we find that the cafe, coffee and burger bar were closed and so the rest of the flag wavers trudged to the car while i 'powdered my nose' ...

    Draped in England flags and with streaking facepaint i was returning to the car when i felt a poke in my back, i spun round ready to give the prodder a right telling off - only to find it was our very own Mr Turnip Head and ex England manager Graham Taylor...

    Mr El Turnip Head asked me where he could get some food - to which i answered 'how should i know...i've been to the England match!!!'

    Graham turner replied...

    eye love, so ave i!!!

    some people eh???

    hello guys look forward to the show tonight. richard wilson (victor meldrew) cut me up on my way to pay for some christmas shopping in london a few years back, he gives me a look like i should move outta the way for his lordship so i just responded "i don't believe it" and went on my merry way, he didn't look happy.
    all the best,

    I used to work at Alton Towers and whilst I was there - when the ride Th13teen opened, there were a lot of celebrities I served includng Jonathan Ross and I served Bill Bailey and his family lunch. What was quite funny that Jonathan left his tickets to the park on the table and was walking away when my colleague noticed and she picked them up and ran after him shouting "MR WOSS! MR WOSS!"

    So then Orford, this is all the work you do, thinking up imaginative titles for the show thread then is it??? ;)

    agh, not sure- I felt like flatting the river bet, but then thought I could get value from a solo queen- what's the correct play over time? I think I would have been paid off if he has trips, so I had to shove rather than make a value play. But should I have been conservative and flatted... he disguised the house brilliantly to be fair.

    Celebrity !

    Well I'll chirp in here as its an odd one created by sky.

    On the way home from SPT Glasgow recovering from the previous nights "water" consumption. Dan Brown decides to stop at a service station for a KFC along with Paul [pool8] and myself. We get in order and sit down, I notice a lad on the next table along looking at me constantly so I think what have I done now !

    Carry on eating and I see him get up and approach the table, He then says I'm a big fan of the show guys can I possibly get a photo with you :|. So I'm thinking...wait......what ? He goes on to explain he's a fan of sky poker and must have been watching the Total Player shows which just ended.

    Dan gets up in a flash to please his "fans" and forces me to get in. So we get a photo with him, then his Girlfriend with a family bucket in the background and every one in the eating area staring at us thinking who the hell we are. Never been so embarrassed in my life.

    :(

    Years ago when working at Currys, Glenn Hoddle came in to buy a new TV. This was when he was still the England manager.

    Anyhow, my manager who was a Wimbledon fan (remember them!) saw who I was talking to & promptly came running over to offer him a whopping discount if he put Carl Cort in the England squad. Needless to say the discount was taken but there never was any sign of Carl Cort in an England shirt!

    another secret he keeps is that he fancies his co-worker Richard Orford which he has kept a secret for over 2 years.
    HILARIOUS XD

    Gl to all who remain - I made a stupid all-in preflop - I think the fact that it was suited got me.

    Dont know if i made a good fold or not with this hand, Please can rich and edd have a look at it as i would really like to know, i keep playing it over and over as it cost me alot of my stack.
  • edited November 2010
    Thanks rich and Edd for showing my hand, i really wanted to call it but didnt want to put my tourney life on it. I feared a9, or even 24 for the straight as i never raised pre flop, he could of had anything. Love the show and i am taking your advice on board.
