SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE FROM 9PM! The weekend on 865 continues with Rich and Carlo ***official show thread
Play weekends only as no time to put in a meaningful session during the week. Never play when I have my son here either, so that's most Saturday days (he's away this weekend though 
)
I tend to put in marathon sessions - 30 hours isn't unusual - and that's it for the week. I have to compartmentalise things so Sat night through Sunday is my poker time then, come Monday, back to normal routine.
As for most embarrassing hair moment, had to get the missus to help shave my back/shoulders/stomach etc as I was starting to resemble a silverback gorilla. Someone on another forum I am a member of saw my avatar photo and asked why my arms were so dirty... it was hair....

So we liked spending four hours together so much we've decided to do it all over again tonight. Yep, it's Richard Orford and Carlo Citrone LIVE tonight on Sky Poker TV (Channel 865) from 9pm till 1am.
Don't forget, if you haven’t got Sky, or someone else in the household is monopolising it; you can always stream the live shows via the Sky Poker.com homepage.
On the agenda tonight-
Full coverage of The Sunday Roller, the 9pm UKOPS Super Sat and, if it's still going, live updates from the final table of SPT Leg 1
No guest tonight and with many of our regulars still up in Nottingham playing on the tour, Carlo and I will really need your input to make the show fly.
So, here's your topics...
with the clocks going back an hour today we ask...
(1) What's your best time to play poker?
Is there a particular part of the day that suits your temperament? Are you a morning person? Do you like to unwind after work for an hour? Or have you got it narrowed down to 3am-4am as your optimum time to be on the baize? And what about generally over the year? Do you do better in the summer months or in the winter? In short, does WHEN you play poker have any affect on your success at it?
And...
with Carlo having pledged to grow a moustache during November for charity as part of the Movember challenge. We ask...
(2) What's the most embarrassing hairstyle, facial hair, fashion faux pas?
What's the worst style crime you've ever committed? Did you once sport a mullet? Or, if you're a lady, have you only just get shot of the Rachel cut? Bad sideburns? Big flares? Tell us all and, ideally, email us a photo on skyopen@bsky.com
Looking forward to 'seeing’ you all at 9pm!
Should be fun! See you there!
Well this is an interesting topic because I recently stumbled upon a major leak in my game through the time I play. I've been grinding the DYMs for my challenge in an effort to get into the TSP freeroll and recently to get more volume in, I was getting my laptop on within about 5 mins of getting home from work (6pm-ish) and starting playing and I noticed a few days ago I was always starting my sessions badly and ending them very well to either get myself back to break even or into profit. But obviously I could be in much more profit if I cut out the bad bit. Fellow DYMer Poker_Fail did a sharkscope graph for me of my average ROI from DYMs by time of day and my average ROI awful (well into the minus) in the hour of 6pm but very good everywhere else.
So now, I get home from work, give myself some time to chill out, get in the right mindframe and then start my DYMs and I felt much about doing this in my last session. So I play fro about 7pm til about 11pm/Midnight Mon-Fri just while I'm trying to get tons of volume in to win my place in the TSP freeroll for this quarter.
(2) What's the most embarrassing hairstyle, facial hair, fashion faux pas?
Well I guess it's debatable what you call embarrassing but when I was around 17-18 I used to have hair quite a big past my shoulders during my 'heavy metal' phase lol. I've even attached a before and after picture from when I had the big chop...
Ta!
Darntootin and scouse red have given alot in starting , promoting and updating for all of us who entered this fun comp , perhaps even announce LIVE who WON the 6 six seats that sky generously put up as prizes.
After all surely this is what being a part of this great forum is all about.

See you chaps later.
EDIT: +1 to Deb's post!
I also give myself an hour or so after work before I start playing just so i'm in the right frame of mind.
2. I had two embarrassing hair styles when I was in my teens.
The first wasn't my choice to be fair.
A few mates had the short spikey gelled style that was popular in the late 80's /early 90's so off I went to the local barbers to ask for the same style.
The trouble is he's an old fashioned barbers who didn't have a clue how to do this style and I ended up with an american flat top. I looked like i'd just come out of the marines.
I then discovered hard rock music shortly after this and decided to grow a mullet. I had this for about 4 years. At the time you think you look the bees knees.
It's not until you look through your old photos a few years later that you see just how stupid you looked.
My best time to play poker is in the evenings. The reason for this is that I work during the day so can only play in the evenings. On the days I don't work, I play in the evenings. This is because I look after my daughters those days and only play when they are both sleeping. As much as I love playing poker, my kids come first. For example, today I have had to watch two barbie movies with them and had to answer questions like " Is Barbie from this universe Daddy?" instead of playing poker. My brain is just coming out of the pink fog lol.
I have had one or two good haircuts. In the late 80's through to the late 90's, I had hair that Anna Fowler would have been proud of! I am now proudly sporting a shaved head with goatee that is now longer than my thumb. Well I like it anyway and my kids love pulling it when they give me a kiss!
2/ I had a few dosgy haistyles when i was younger from short dark brown, to a bonde flat top and then long blonde hair
i was compared to Tom Cruise , then Vanilla Ice then Chesney Hawkes
Enjoy the show guys - have a gooden
That 50 in the post Carlo or have any ideas?

(1) What's your best time to play poker?
Any time when there's weaker players online. Which for me, isn't very often.
(2) What's the most embarrassing hairstyle, facial hair, fashion faux pas?
My ex convinced me to buy a Pacman hoodie from a clothes shop in Leeds, I wore it out twice, and usually had people staring at me. It's a shame because it's really comfortable, so I just wear it around the house now. I'll e-mail a photo later
I can vouch Anna was waltzing around DTD in her tights!! Very nice too!
Great job done by the team at DTD, another top event!

How many from satellite qualify?
Just wondered when the frerroll is for the community players who beat you in your latest HU challenge?
Thx
Ok so Im listening also!
I've been profitable since after my 1st couple of months playing.
30 hours is the extreme, but I would do 2 hours, break, 3 hours, break, 45 mins go out etc. Main point is that in that 30 hour window, when I can, and there are good games, I play poker.
They make tough poker players here, Eoghan O'Dea was my former doubles partner... coincidentally my mom used to go out with Donnecha too...
Evening again Rich and Carol
Perhaps for your trick or treat, you could do impressions of drinks.
If Rich takes off his jacket and you do a next shot, he could be a well known brand of Stout.
If You do a head shot of Carol, he could be a Black and Tan
