    Don't think that'll be beaten for a while ;) Maybe if I enter enough times, I'll get a round without any film questions, lol.

    I totally agree with you Rich about students especially those wasting their time studying things like history.  I mean, do you know anyone successful with a history degree?  It's just not possible!

    I don't think I had a bad christmas pressy this year :)  Thank you to everyone who brought me one

    u r are wrong, u need ~10:1 IF u stack 'villain' 100% of the time, but what happens if villain has KK and flop is A high, or monotone or 6-7-9, or the turn brings a danger card that kills ur action

    15:1 implied odds is a conservative estimate

    Three men are sitting in a pub discussing how they think their wives are cheating on them.
    The first man said, "I found a toolbox under my bed last night, I think my wife is sleeping with a builder"
    The second man said: "That's nothing. I found a stethoscope under my bed last night, I think my wife is sleeping with a doctor2
    To which the third man said: "You two don't have a problem. I found a jockey under my bed last night, I think my wife is sleeping with a horse

    You were just talking about the Survivor series, and I have a question...

    I think idea of this format is great and I would love to have a go as I've a pretty good DYM record. However, it's difficult for me to commit to playing every evening at 7.30pm for a whole week.

    Is it possible to Sky+ the tournaments so I can play them at a more convenient time?

    Hi again guys.

    Just want to say that tonight is the first night i have sat and watched a show all the way through without playing a single hand of poker myself and its been a very educational and enjoyable show.

    A nice wind down with a few cans of stella after stuffing myself with so much food xmas day and boxing day.

    Hope you all have a great and profitable new year.

    Martin.

    Useless Xmas Presents

    My niece gave all the family beautiful Xmas Cards!
    Inside each card she had put £5 lucky dip lottery tickets
    On closer inspection the lottery tickets were losing tickets from the 9th & 16th December.
    When this was pointed out my 80 year old mum said bless her it's the thought that counts
    To which my niece replied "thats right, as I watched the numbers drawn out I thought about what I would have bought you if they'd won"

    I'm guessing she'll be prime minister one day!

    10+20 blinds + 80 raise + 200 3bet & 1700 effective stack size behind, means we are calling 120 to win 2010 if we flop set/stack villain

    so we do have />15:1 implied odds

    i think that 15-1 is far to conservative.. correct odds are less thatn 8-1 but i round up to 10-1 for the reasons u explained.. plus you dont hav to stack villian 100% of the time.. jus work out roughly if the call can be justfied as +EV ... in this case i think it can,for example, standard of tourney, (people over play hands, so will get paid more often  if we hit), the bet is 120 more, so my conservative estimate for a +EV call would be to make an extra 1200 by the end of the hand.. villan has 1700 ish and pot has been bloated to over 400.. that means jus 2 streets of betting will be needed to hit our target and thats not even stacking villan which i think is more than likely if you flop a set against villans average 3 bet range in these small buy-in tournies..

    I was only able to watch from 10:45 last night so only caught the last 75 minutes but was a little disappointed about the hand selections shown.

    Every single hand had a short stack going all in and being eliminated. After about 30 minutes of this it became easy to predict what would eventually happen once the hand first came up. The only question was would the chips go in pre-flop or later.

    Surely some hands where the short stack doubled up or a clash between two bigger stacks could have been picked?

    Right then, great first night of our Xmas UKOPS marathon.

    And now for....


    NIGHT 2!

    We're back, tonight at 7pm for more pokertainment. And this time I'm joined by Trevor ''Holly' Harris and Michelle 'Mistletoe' Orpe!

    Now, we couldn't bring you hands from last night's UKOPS Event 1 but rest assured we'll be all over the events from now on!

    So...tonight is Event 2

    The £10,000 GTD Doublestack

    £110 buy-in, 8000 chips, 12 minute blinds and it all starts at 8.

    We'll be here for the build-up from 7.

    Plus we'll take a look at the final table from last night's 6K Open and bring you the results from UKOPS Event 1.

    Also tonight... Trevor's Fame Game

    Back by popular demand-our Trevor will attempt to describe lots of famous people to you the caller and whoever identifies the most names in 30 seconds will win a seat into one of tomorrow night's UKOPS side events- the £33 buy-in £20K Bounty Hunter at 8pm.

    If you'd like to take part, email your name, player alias and contact number to skyopen@bskyb.com.

    That's also the address, as well as this thread to post allyuor usual questions, comments and banter.

    As well as poker tongiht- i'm interested to know wha you consider to be...

    The greatest Xmas pop song of all time?

    Here's a few of my faves off the top of my head, in no particular order:

    Fairytale of New York- The Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll

    Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy- Bing Crosby and David Bowie

    I Believe in Father Christmas- Greg Lake

    Stay- East 17

    Agree? Disagree? Any more to add?

    Over to you and see you at 7!

    I have to confess a penchant for that "Driving Home for Christmas" song  - Chris Rea.

    Looking forward to the show tonight - appropriately for the pantomime season it's a case of Beauty & The Beast with Orford & Orpe...however that may be a bit cruel...Michelle isn't that ugly.
