Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
For one night only! Orford and Hartigan with some bloke called Julian Thew ***official show thread**
Well, here's a collector's item for you. With Ian Fraser otherwise detained at the WCOOP head up tournament, I've been brought in at late notice.
Weirdly though, they've made James the analyst. Surely some mistake..? ;-)
No issues with our other expert though- it's British poker superstar Julian Thew!
Don't waste the opportunity to pick this man's brains tonight- he here's for the whole show and you can post your questions to him on this very thread.
The main events tonight are the 5k £110 buy-in Sky Roller and the £12k Bounty Hunter with a £33 buy-in. Both tournies start at 8 as well as our live coverage. We then simulcast on SKy Sports 3 from 10pm.
In other news tonight- it's a world exclusive! Between 8 and 10 we will premiere the dates and locations for the Sky Poker Tour 2011-2012!
And expect some big changes!!!
We'll be talking to Tikay on the blower about it too.
All will be revealed tonight.
And of course this year's SPT Grand Final takes place this weekend in Nottingham.
So, tonight it's all about...
THE SPT
Tips? Advice? If you'd like to give it or indeed ask it of James and Julian then please post away.
Who do you think out of our onscreen team wil last longest in the tourney? Who will be first out? Everyone's playing except Sarah, James and Ed- so give us your thoughts.
And, as if all that wasn't enough, we've got a Saturday night Super Bounty Hunter seat to give away to whoever can stump James and I on films when we play...
3 degrees of seperation.
Name 2 movies or movie stars on this thread- and, without googling, James and I will attempt to connect them in less than 3 steps. Any on which we both fail go into the hat for the draw.
Packed show! See you at 8!

I had originally planned Leni Riefenstahls infamous 1934 propaganda classic Triumph des Willens ( Triumph of the Will ) and On the Buses the movie.
I imagined that would offer a decent and fair challenge to the celluloid cerebral titan that is HARTIGAN.
Oh well back to the drawing board.
GL guys but I hope you fail : )
My two films are...
The Last Samurai
AND
Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
Good Luck Chaps!
I would love some advice from Mr Thew about playing the SPT final as it will not only be my first SPT event but my first live torney.
In the last longer between the talent, and Orford, I take Tikay. Only because he will only play suited aces until he is down to ten bb's then shove once a round to pick up the blinds to keep himself in.
Have a great show and see you in Nottingham
Hi all, - good luck have a great show.
Please find the connection between these films:-
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Easy Rider

Good luck in the SPT Richard!

Hi Guys!
Have a good show!
Couple of Q's for Julian -
If you could play HU with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be and why?
You NEVER seem to tilt, is this a natural trait or have you learnt to not show it?
Films..
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus & Oceans 13. (n.b. NOT 11 or 12)
