Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
*****Thursday night live with Sarah Champion, Tony 'tikay' Kendall and special guest Barry Carter***
We're live on 865 from 8pm tonight keeping a keen eye on our featured tournaments: the 12K Bounty Hunter and the 5K Roller...Tonight we're delighted to be joined by poker journalist Barry Carter, any questions for Barry and/or tikay and/or hand requests post away...
Topics up for discussion! What's your biggest weakness in play and how, if at all, do you fix it? According to Carlo, the man with the tan, this is the most difficult question for a poker player to answer, most um and errr.. and mumble something underneath their breath but cards on the table time....
Beneath those brags and bad beat stories there must be something nagging away at you, let's have your biggest weakness in play and advice you can give from what you've learnt. Tikay and Barry will be on hand in the studio to give you their tips and advice. (If you'd prefer to remain anonymous on this one feel free to email via skyopen@bskyb.com and we'll absolutely honour your anonymity!) While we're on advice.... Topic 2! If you could go back to the 80's what's the one piece of advice you'd give yourself?
I was at Rewind Henley last weekend (great fun!) and that's definitely the question that got the best answers from some of the biggest acts of the 1980s. So! if you had a time machine and could go back 20 odd years, what's the one piece of advice you'd give yourself??? My favourite answer was from 'Hue and Cry' by the way who said
'Buy property, don't buy porsches' Oh and for our younger players who weren't born before the glorious decade of shoulder pads feel free to adapt the question to 'If you could go back to your 16 year old self!' Prizes on offer for the best answers! We look forward to hearing from you...

TAKE IS AS REDS
Congratulations to Spornybol who wins this weeks comp for a £22 super BH
and to Poppy765 for the monthly win and who takes a £110 Sky Roller Seat
Bankroll Management: I havent really fixed it, if i run well i spin up if i dont i go near to broke and have to tread water for a bit. my main problem is i know what i can beat but even if my bankroll goes below what it should be i still play them. works out more then it doesnt
Topic 2! If you could go back to the 80's what's the one piece of advice you'd give yourself?
N/A i was born 87 so doubt would be able to take it in
Patience,Patience,Patience ! and knowing when to step up the gears when nearing the bubble.

Invest as must money as you can in these fledgling computer companies which may prove to be marginally successful in the future!!!!
Patience/Self Discipline: Too often when I'm playing cash, I build myself up a nice stack (say 300BBs) and I get over confident, I deviate from my normal playing style to bully people out of pots (which does not work at 4NL-10NL!), call all-ins that I'd never call at the start of a session etc. The way I try to avoid this sometimes is to get to 300BBs and just stand up and lock the profit in the bankroll.

I wasn't born until November 86 so if I can't really give myself much advice... Oh I'd say get yourself down the pictures because you won't get a chance to year 2000 onwards with all the junk films that are released these days.
On the 80's well I was born in 1990 so probably not applicable lol
Hi Sarah & Tikay have a great show
What's your biggest weakness in play and how, if at all, do you fix it?
My weakness is Re-Raising i always seem either not raise enough or raise to big your thoughts please
Evening Sarah and Tikay,
Looking forward to the show tonight. Biggest weakness in the game, that's an easy one for me, I cannot seem to give credit to anyone shoving or 3x'ing or min-raising from small blind when I'm in the big blind after everyone else has folded. Lost count of the times that my A10, or KQ type hands are totally dominated
Back to the eighties, that's also easy, I'd say Dan, "believe in yourself, stop listening to Erasure otherwise at 36 your music tastes will be a train wreck and most importantly of all, act on life's moment(s) when they come along as it's horrible to live in regret"
BTW, put a thread up re: SPT Grand Final tonight. Anyway of still buying in now the seats are filled?
Good luck to all chasing the 7k + iPad bonus pot too...
Dan
So no doubt while watching tonights show im going to lose a fortune !
Also if i could go back in time and give myself any advice i would go back to the very first time i met my ex wife, "you know the time when you very first fall in love and everything in the world seems right", then i would take myself to one side just as i was about to go out of my front door and head off to the club i met her in and i would say " Dave mate, theres a good movie on tv tonight why not stop in lol ".
Have a great show.
As mentioned above shares in apple or a little known companies called microsoft and google.
Property get in at the start of the eighties and out at the end.
Invest in .com companies for about three months until people see there is nothing in them.

My Problem is dealing with the final table when ever I reach one. The chip stacks are over 100,000 + and I tend to call min raise and they all lump in 50,000 re- raise . Oops now what ! I fold.? only to see King High win.
The 80's was wake up call from the 60's my best years ever. sob sob.
Have a great show and who is the one person will never let you down or not turn up ............ "Bugs Bunny" only jokin it's TK Hugs Annie x
If I could talk to myself back in the 80's I'd say......
Wait until we play the Aussies at hedingley and we are 500/1 to win and LUMP ON!!! we can't lose
See you all at Nottingham
Well hate to say this but I really cant explain this part of my game, but I get Ace blind so many times. I see AQ, AJ, and A 10, and really feel I have a really good hand, (mostly in good position) so when I make my raise, part says call, part says fold, but if then someone re raises with a massive push, for some reason I seem to never lay them down. So am I reading wrong, or just Ace blind, (if thats the right terminolgy)?
If you could go back to the 80's what's the one piece of advice you'd give yourself?
Well in the early 80s I was working in Spain in the Timeshare industry, making a small fortune as a sales man.
I spent as I earned, and didnt save a penny, while 1 of my best friends saved....He now owns about 50 properties in Manchester, as is made for life.......Me stll out on the road selling for a living... So I would SAVE SAVE SAVE
If i could go back to the 80,s I wouldn,t have ripped open all those star wars figures I used to get on my birthday and Christmas and play with them until there legs or arms dropped off.
I,d neatly preserve them in their boxes
Another thing if I ws bck in the 80,s - I,d make as much money I could by betting on all the forthcoming results I could remember and spend all the profit on gold
Have a gr8 show
WITH THE TOP HAS TIKAY JUST COME FROM A GIRLS RUGBY MATCH ???
MY WEAKNESS, LIMPING
THE 80`S
INVENT A SHOW CALLED BIG BROTHER
NOW FOR TIKAY TO GET HOT UNDER THE COLLAR, LOL

I have no advise for me if I went back to the 80s because I know I wouldnt have taken any notice.
