    Evening all!!

    WOOOHOOOO!! After a good 30 minutes wondering aimlessly around Osterly and Sky HQ.. (IT'S MAHOOOSIVE!!).. I finally made it into the building..

    Well, that is to say that I called Sky Dan in some amount of confusion and distress and he pointed me in the right direction!

    Thank God I run perpetually early by around 2 hours!

    Wow..It's BIG here.. and the Office is truly MAMMOTH. I'm taking lots of Piuctures for my next Blog!

    There's even a FOOZBALL (Sp?) Machine..

    Not that we'd be caught playing on it during office hours..Ahem!

    Although I have a sneaky feeling Tikay will take to sleeping inside it..

    So... Before I digress too much more.. Tonight is
    PRIMO!!

    And we have 4 hours of pure unadulterated HARDCORE Poker action ahead of us!

    Myself and Mr Ed Giggins are taking the helm.. and Due to poor Sky Mandy being very unwell (Get well soon Ms Mandy!) Sky Dan will be producer in Chief.

    So to keep us all busy for the evening..  make sure you post any good/bad/interesting Primo hand ID's with as much info on the hand as possible and we'll do our best to show them..

    Also I'll be giving away a FREE TSP Classic Entry to play with me this Tuesday (In the TSP Classic OBV) for the best/funniest/tragic Story you have about MOVING. Whether it's to a new school/workplace or a new House/country!!

    The more stories the better!!

    There will also be a FREE TOT entry on offer the best statistical poker question you can come up with for our Mathematical Mastermind Analyst ED!

    You've got a few hours before the show so get yourself in and ready and..


    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    ..and remember cheeky Sky Santa/Elf and Rudolph will be out and about and knocking them out will get you into Santa's Sack tournament for a chance to win one of MANY awesome prizes!!!

    Hi guys, have a great show!!

    I was playing cash poker at the Empire Casino Leicester Square last week and I noticed their bad beat jackpot was £29,000

    To win this you need to have AAAKK or higher beaten in a raked cash hand using both of your hole cards.

    So taking into account

    Pot must be equal or above £25 (blinds 1/2)
    Both hands bad and good must use hole cards
    AAAKK is the minimum bad beat hand!

    What are my chances next week!! What are the odds roughly of getting a qualifying bad beat?

    Ahem, well a moving story for you.
    I had just moved in to my girlfriends house when she decides she wants to move to a bigger house (im not that fat honest) so we find a house which is beautiful but i am working and only have a few hours to spare so my girlfriends father says he will help. Most of the furniture has gone to the new house when i turn up just as her father is moving the wardrobes in our brdroom.
    I get to the bedroom door just as he asks the question in a loud voice (holding them up in his hands)
    "Are these handcuffs yours Major?"

    If the ground couldve opened up!!!!!

    Just as a prologue, saturday was my g/friends grandads funeral, her father was a little bit worse for wear at the wake when he announced to everyone the story of the handcuffs, another hole please!!!

    Empire has excellent games they are very juicy BUT the card room is in a casino and that means you cant trust them or ever expect anything to be done with punters in mind (because poker players dont play table games enough).

    The BBJ should have started much higher but they are skanks and so they have gone back on their planned bbjs and obv there is nothing you a punter can do.....

    moving story

    This goes back to when i was a kid. My mum was moving house after splitting up with her partner, however i wanted me and mum to keep the house they lived in and not move, so i locked myself in the bathroom for 6 hours while arguing with my mum through the door.

    Oh the joys of being 10 lol.

    Hand 317481883.

    Was this over optimistic play by me in the big blind?

    As you can see from the stack sizes the small blind had been winning a few pots and I thought that I was ahead of his 4-bet shove range against my stack size.

    The river just poured salt in the wound, really!

    LM and Ed,

    I'm very offended that you would both think I'm sad enough to be watching Sky Poker on my night off. As you can tell, I'm clearly not. Instead I'm in a strip club drinking champagne out of a ladies stiletto.

    Or, I'm sat at home watching Channel 865 and writing my Xmas cards. It's one or the other, I can't remember which.

    I am also offended that you think that Johnny Gould is a worse player than me. NOBOBY is worse than me. FACT. I'm not having some Johnny-come-lately nicking my coveted title.

    Studio's looking good. Pity about the two props sat behind the desk. They look like they could do with a damn good clean...

    See you Wednesday afternoon on the train where I will relieve you, Ed...

    ...of more money when we all play poker on the train. Every one of us except Tikay in a sit n'go. We could be talking about this game for a long time to come... Can't wait!

    What are the odds on Quad AA's being beaten by a Royal flush ?

    Plus another question, what is the longest anyone has stayed on the same cash table, got knocked out of the Primo early so then played some cash, been on the same table for a couple of hours, sure this is no where near the record ! lol

    PUCPOUND
