Orford does it AGAIN! (Ish).

edited October 2009 in Poker Chat

Lord Gloat very nearly won tonight's £22 Deepie - he got 2nd after being hampered whilst Heads-Up by "Connection Problems".*

That's his 4th Final Table in 7 days.

Whatever next?

* Connection Problems = he could not Connect with a Flop.

    The producers of the show deciding that Rich is more suited to an expert analyst role on the show?

    He did very well - getting rid of me in 5th as well.

    Well done AGAIN, Rich, although pretty soon the 51'ers are going to start calling him the Sky Poker Superuser! lol
  • edited October 2009
    Yes Rich played very well... Definatly a massive improvment in his ply from last time iv played him... Making raises at the right times (whether he had hands i not I expect) but not calling raises with junk, definatly got the balance right between aggression and discipline... I did ask him when 3 handed if he wanted to change comps/ restart window we would slowplay for him, but he battled on.
     
     P.S not only did Rich come 2nd in the £22 HU but can i add Tikay came 2nd in the 7pm as well... fantastic to see the presenters/analysts doing well on the site as well... Great to have you playing with us, makes the games that much more enjoyable.

    Both TK and Rich are getting in the results at the moment. We actually love it that they are as we feel they are 'one of us' not just presenters/analysts. Keep it going guys.

    As for me, pleased to beat TK HU in a dym my wheel draw being made on the river, after tk hit trip kings. I know I was allowed to win but looooooooove it lol

    I definately think it's about time Lord Smirk gets the analyst gig.

    I think he has upped his game on purpose so he can work with the lovely Lisa-Marie.

    How do you fancy holding the clip board and reading the emails for a few weeks TK?

    Ban this Poster plz Mods.

    Seriously, holding a clipboard & reading a few e-Mails, that's supposed to be difficult? What? My cat could do that. It's the easiest gig in the Studio.

    I might even swap with Lord Smirk one night, just to prove I'm right. From the back-end of November, Rich & I will be "paired" up for about 16 weeks in a row. How bad do I run?

    tikay you could learn a lot from rich

    hope this helps

    he just inspires so many of us, he just gets on with his job and lets his results do the talking, and in all honesty his results are speaking for themselves, maybe try the laid back approach like Mr orford?

    It was a foreign train!

    Did you know that Arriva & Northern Trains both use, or used, Romanian rolling stock?

    Orford Express is a misnomer, too. He's a Calling Station.

    What have you done to be paired with Lord Gloat for 16 weeks.
    You must have upset one of the 'Suits'
    Well done to you both for showing us all how to play the deepstacks.

    Oh dear Tikay!!! Guess ur private tuition of LML and Sarah hasnt impressed them enough to want to work with you!!

    Did the Giddens charm work on Sarah last night enough for her to want to work permanently with him?  What are the other pairings?

    What?

    They were gagging to be paired with me.

    The Producers choose the front-of-camera pairings. I think they go "weak/strong", so that the lesser performers like Rich get the Studio help they need. Please don't say it's the other way round......

    I can't remember who the other pairings are, tbh. They vary sometimes, as holidays, sickies, STP gigs & such-like crop up.

    I'm working with Lisa tomorrow (we are having a bit of a poker session before the Show), Sarah on Sunday, & then with Sarah again on Wednesday. Wednesday will be a whole day of what we used to call "Pre-Records", these are the 1 hour Shows we used to record before doing the Live Show. From now on, these will all be recorded on a Wednesday, during the day. They are not my scheduled gig, but I picked up next Wednesday as a spare.

    On Thursday next, I'm with Lord Gloat in the Live Show, the week after I'm with him at the SPT, & after that, I have to endure 16 weeks with him. FML.

    It's all part of a big change in what Sky Poker transmit. The Tournaments have now been changed & improved, & 865 has all sorts of well good stuff on the way - very soon, too.

    Coming soon to a Telly near you. Sky Poker. With added stuff.

    Cheers again chaps and chappesses for all your posts .

    So, wondering just how spectacularly and humiliatingly my luck is going to run out, as it inevitably will very soon- here I am again tonight on the site using my private account, (CHIRP ALERT- PLEASE NOTE THE FINAL PART OF THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS THINLY DISGUISED BRAGGING) aiming to extend my run of 5 final tables in 9 tournaments. ;)

    I'm in the 7.30 Deepstack and the Open at 9- see you there!
