We are live on 865 from 8pm and on Sky Sports 4 from 10 tonight with the 15K Sky Sports Bounter Hunter and the 5K Sky Roller. GL to all, if there are any hands you'd like analysed along the way throw us the hand ID and we'll get them on...

Tonight we're keen to hear your route into poker...
Last week we learnt Luke Schwartz started on the slots, moved on to playing pool before progressing to poker so what led you to the beautiful game?
Plus what's the one piece of advice you'd give a newbie? Let's share the wealth of knowledge and lessons learnt... Schwartz told us his game improved immeasurably on the advice to loosen his range of playable hands and to play more aggressively, so whats the one piece of advice you'd give a newbie to really improve their game?
And for a bit of fun tonight how's about a quick movie quote quiz! Give us a quote from your favourite famous film and see if you can stump our movie maestro with it *he promises he won't cheat, he won't need to*
And the good news!? ALL posts and emails will go into a draw for free entry into saturdays super bounty hunter!!!
GL on the tables see you live from 8

ADVICE TO A NEWBIE
BRM , cant emphasise this enough
A - It's Judgment Day, you know?
B: No. What's that then?
A: Well, it's, you know, the final day on Earth, when mankind will be judged for the crimes they've committed and that.
B: Oh. And see who gets into heaven and who gets into hell and all that.
A: Yeah. And what's the other place?
B: Purgatory.
A: Purgatory... what's that?
B: Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really sh**, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham.
[pause]
B: Do you believe in all that stuff, Ken?
A: About Tottenham?
my route in poker..... a viewer of late night poker and 865
advice to a newbie.... develop in the game format that best matches your personality.
movie quote for james, "Let's go to the Superbowl guys, and when we get there, let's already have won." Warren Beatty, Heaven Can Wait (1978).
My route into poker was playing on free poker sites at 13.
My route into online poker was seeing a tv advert for skypoker in january i decided to join and now i'm hooked.
My advice to old/new players. everyday when i log on the first thing i do is goto hand history and look at all the big pots i have lost whether its a sng cash or mtt. i then look at these hands to see if i could of played it differently. this also helps me improve.
Movie quote:
"when exactly did you lose your mind"
"it was about 3 weeks ago, i woke up married to a pineapple, an ugly pineapple"
The answer is ICE AGE 3
Advice to a newbie - don't deposit anything you cannot afford to lose, because lose you will at least to start with.
Film quote - an easy one really - "It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it." The Blues Brothers.

My Route Into Poker
Like alot of people I used to watch Late Night Poker on Channel 4, I was only about 13 at the time and shortly after starting watching, me and some friends (who also watched it) got a bit of a regular game set up in my garage, all just putting £1 in, winner takes all SnGs. Used to play about 5-6 hours a night with them from the age of about 13-18, then took the online route.
Advice for a Newbie
Play within your bankroll, whatever that may be, some people have alot more disposable cash than others, but allocate a certain amount for your poker funds (bearing in mind you have to be willing to lose it all) and stick to good bankroll management. It's one of the most important things regardless of how good you are on the table.
Movie Quote

"In any real city, you walk, you brush past people, and people bump into you. In L.A, nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other just so we can feel something."
Answer : Crash (2004)
1. BRM
2. Enjoy the moment! It's a game not life or death
3. Play your cards not the pot
4. engage the brain before moving your mouse
5. Remember no-one's invincible
6. Think once, then twice, then think again
7. Remember! a pretty hand at the flop like a fresh cut flower can wilt as easily on a card table as it does in a graveyard
8. Use the Forum to share experiences
9. Never stop learning
Reading the OP FTW!!
Quick question if thats ok,Has a sports personallity ever cashed in wsop im sure steve davis did and maybe others have.
Don't go n play like a doobie
Don't wear a hood
If you want to feel good
Just sit and play in the nudey
