Sunday's live show with James, Carlo & Jamie Burland (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)
Not long to go now until your Sunday-night fix of live poker on channel 865, the primary focus being the £8k Sunday Roller.
Carlo will be doing his thing, assisted by our special guest star...
Jamie Burland
Jamie - as seen on TV in Sky Poker's UK Cash Game and the UKIPT's Champion of Champions event - describes poker as a "hard way to make an easy living." If you want any advice on grinding or binking, Jamie's your man, so e-mail your questions to skyopen@bskyb.com or post them in this forum thread.
This evening's hop topic is three-betting light (i.e. re-raising without much of a hand). Carlo and Jamie will be sharing their thoughts and offering some strategic pearls of wisdom. If you come across a hand highlighting this particular play, please send us the ID number, so we can broadcast it on the telly and talk about it!
We'll also be crossing live to Luton for updates from the GUKPT - where the final table is in full swing. And, with a Bank Holiday weekend just around the corner, it's a great opportunity for me to ask this question again:

What's the best summer day out in the UK?

A day trip to France?? ;-)
If the weather was guarenteed Blackpool beach or the lake District
Have a good show guys
Q for Jamie - For an average player whats the easiest way to make money for low stakes if you had to pick one discipline to practise and focus on - cash, DYM,s , STT,s or satelites to bigger tournies?

Weymouth carnival last Wednesday was a very good day with plenty going on.
1- NO WIFE
2- NO KIDS
3 - POKER ON THE BEER TABLE (AS LONG AS CARLO`S IS NOT LAYING ON IT ) OH HANG ON THAT`S A SUN-BENCH ?
My general strategy is to play tight/position and usually only reraise for value as people will still call. Bear in mind I do not have any software giving me stats on opponents.
Re days out, I can recommend Warwick Castle. A bit pricey to get in but a good family day out.
We had a great week in Somerset and thoroughly recommend Cheddar Gorge, took the dog in the caves, did Jacobs ladder and plenty of nice real ale pubs and cream tea cafes. Also spent a fortune in the cheese shop!!
Also loved Watchet with it's steam train rides to Minehead, quaint fishing village, some great pubs!
2 live games this weekend and 2 cashes so warming up nicely for SPT DTD, watch out Jamie and Carlo!!

You can't beat a trip to the seaside for the best summer day out for me.
It always brings back childhood memories of sand sandwiches, digging a massive hole on the beach and burying my dad (only upto his neck before you ring the police) and changing into my swimming shorts with a towel wrapped round me.
Now I prefer to do a spot of surfing near to Scarborough.
The only trouble with surfing in this country is it tends to be better in the winter time and the water is cold enough in the middle of summer, so you can only guess what it's like in the winter.
As for 3-betting light, it's only something I tend to do later in a tournament when I feel other players are opening lighter.
3 betting light - Hand ID - 0405236298
Only did as I thought his bet on the turn was weak and thought he might be trying to pinch it. If he flatted I still had some options with 2 overs.
3 betting light, takes some guts to do, but I feel it also depends on your table immage, if you have reads on the table and how good the players on the table are, if they are poor players whi aint gonna fold, then its a waste of time.
BEST DAY OUT WITH SANDRA BULLOCK AND POKER ALL DAY WITH HER
Don't ever 3 bet light ;-), but here's another - Hand ID 0405246378
This is the last one, I'm not doing anymore.
Hand ID - 0405263680
A day at the Lakes is always nice, but don't forget your brolly
I'd have to say a Friday, sun usually pops out on a Friday and its the beginning of the weekend
just because he doesnt understand 3 bet mechanics doesnt make him a bad person
3 betting light, I knew those 3 A Levels in maths would come in handy for counting the 2nd bet as a 3rd bet, ooops back to the drawing board.
Never stop learning, poker is a never ending game ;-)
I'll let you know if I ever get a 3 bet in, it won't be against Dr Marbles cause he's watching this thread ;-)
