Thursday Night Live on 865 with Rich, Tikay and Dylan12! ***official show thread****
Hi Rich, Tikay, Dylan.
Multi tabling MTT's
MTT's, for me, 4 is fine, 5 is a push, 6 is too many!!
Lucky
Car Crash. If the car that hit me from the side had been 6 inches to the right it would have done me some serious damage. I got out of the car shaking from head to toe, but apart from that not a scratch, you couldn't say the same for the car!!
PS looking forward to James's OMAHA league next week.

Hi Rich, tikay, and that other guy
))))), I know there is some bloke on here, whom I beleive loves his poker and food?, maybe that could be him? hehehehe
Dylan?, who on earth is this Dylan?
On a serious note, have a great show, and good luck Dyl
Dylan - well what can I say? I've seen some incredible things at first hand in my life - the Beatles start-up and break-up - the moon landings - England winning the World Cup - The assassination of Kennedy - Dylan winning 2 mtts in one night - and Orford cashing in a live side event. All unique, unforgettable and in some cases almost unbelievable.
Multi-tabling mtts - max for me is 4 - the ideal is 2. More than that and it becomes somewhat automated poker. Getting a handle on opponents isn't possible for me with more than 2 tables.
Have a great show guys.
ps. Luckiest break was probably crashing my car at 50 mph through a stone bridge and ending up in the river below. I was knocked out in the impact and when I awoke the car was perfectly balanced on it's nose in a raging river. I didn't even get my feet wet.
There will also be a special announcement on tonight's Show.
It will be.......
BIG
Many congrats to Dylan for his awesome Jackpot performance. I'd like to say it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I'd like to say that, but I was told never to lie.
I can't think of a lucky occasion that springs to mind, but this sort of counts, as it is lucky, but more an unreal coincidence. It didn't happen to me - one of those "friend of a friend" stories.
An optician rang up their patient to let them know their spectacles were ready. So they duly dial the number, and the phone is answered. "Hello, is that Mr Smith?" they ask. "Yes, he replies", "good, hust ringing from the opticians to let you know your spectacles are ready for collection." .."er... that's great, he says, but how did you get me on this number?" "we just rang your home number, sir" was the obvious reply. "Ahhh, you got one number worng, this is a public phone box that I happened to be walking past as it rang". Gob-smacked all round.
Have a great show Dylan, keep up the accent!
I hope there'll be plenty of anecdotes drawn out of Dylan on the show but here are some of my own questions for him anyway.
/> When he saw the jackpot announced, what did he think? Did he realistically think he had a shot at it? Did he think it would ever go? Who would have been his favourite to do it first?
/> Does he play both the double events every night to give himself maximum chance? Does he also play other tourneys around that time?
/> On the night, when did he realise he had a realistic shot at the jackpot?
/> Do any hands stick out in his mind? Did he get really lucky at any point?
/> When did the tournaments finish relative to each other, did he have one locked up for a large period of time?
/> Was he in any other tournaments when those 2 went deep?
/> Did his tactics ever change from his normal ones because of the Jackpot?
/> How did it feel to win? In particular, (was probably already there anyway) but he is now going to go down in SkyPoker history for sure, how does that feel?
Have a great show all!
Almost forgot, I have some thoughts on multi-tabling, although not specifically MTTs, just in general. I thought I'd note it down here as it goes against the conventional 'add one at a time' advice. This is so widely accepted that it undoubtedly works best for many, many people.
There must be some people out there, though, who will prefer the approach that worked for me. That is to simply load up 6 (or however many games) and just plough straight into it. DYMs are ideal as they force you to continue for around 40 minutes. I bet a lot of people would be surprised to learn how comfortable they are multi-tabling if they tried this just once.
I couldn't multi-table for ages and ages, or I thought I couldn't. But I thought of it the same way as driving. I absolutely hated learning to drive and thought I would just never get it. But I would look around every day and see thousands of drivers. How was it possible that all these people could drive and I would never be able to? The answer is almost always that it isn't possible. It's a similar thing with multi-tabling I think, you just need to take the step to make it happen.
(sorry for the rather obscure analogy)
We're live in 3 and a half hours- make you you have your say on the show tonight!
Multi tabling, two idealy, three tops. I could possibly cope with more but my laptop can't!
I consider myself to be lucky everyday to still be here. Last year I had two tumours removed from my lower spinal cord. Luckly, again, they were benign and, apart from two big scars on my back and a slight limp you wouldn't know. It's ok though. The chicks dig scars! lol
With Tikays above post, has he caught the wrestling bug after Saturdays show???
Luck storys. Probably my biggest peice of luck. Id just lost my job at McDonalds on the Monday but i knew i already had a job interview with the local hospital for a porter job on the Thursday. I got up on the Thursday to realise all my shirts where a mess due to the cat sleeping on the chair the night before. great so i had 30 mins to get ready and get on the bus. I managed to get the majority of the cat hair and creases out of the shirt onto the bus and to the interview. However my mind set wasnt exactly great.
So interview starts with the question "why do you want this job?"
"i want money" was my reply
6am the next morning im phoned offering me the job with my choice of 3 different shifts.
Pretty amazed i got the job still. With the offer of the shifts aswell. I guess honesty goes a long way.
Been really looking forward to this show.
Questions for Dylan: Since winning the jackpot and becoming a sky poker legend is it true that you are now having to turn down dates with gorgeous women as there is just not enough time to take them all out ?
Also how spooky was it that of all the people on the forum you were the one who actually typed in a post a few weeks before you did it that the first time it would be won would be when you yourself could be bothered to try
Good luck with the show mate.
Dave.
P.S. Have a great show Dylfysh!! Looking forward to seeing your lovely-jubbly Welshie chins on the telebox innit ;o))
