RELAUNCH NIGHT! Thursday's live show with James, tikay & Reds (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

edited February 2012 in Poker Chat
So, here we go...

Join us from 7pm on channel 865 for FIVE hours of poker analysis and discussion. We'll review some of the hands that have led to lively debate in the Poker Clinic, examine table selection and multi-tabling in a new edition of Sky Poker School and count down the 20 biggest pots of the week in the aptly-named Top of the Pots. Plus, we've got highlights from tonight's main event - the £15,000 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.

There's a theme connecting all five hours: please offer your thoughts on multi-tabling, whether you're a novice who doubts his/her ability to focus on more than one game at once, or a freak of nature (yes, beaneh, I'm talking about you) who can cope with 40+ tables!

We'd also like general poker questions for Redmond 'lolufold' Lee, your reaction to this year's WSOP schedule, and, crucially, we want your feedback on our new look, new format and tikay's new velvet jacket (which came with a price tag of £1,000*).

You can post in this forum thread, e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com, or tweet using the hashtag #SkyPokerTV.

    Good luck James, Redmond, Tikay with the relaunch.

    Such a landmark show in UK Broadcasting.  You, James, will become skypoker's equivalent of Richard Whitely on Countdown. 



    PS.  I have no idea who will be seen as Carol Vorderman.

    Good afternoon Mr Hartigan. I am looking forward to tonights ReLaunch, but am still disapponted it didn't relaunch on Tuesday which was my Birthday. On your overarching theme, I feel totally inadequate when trying to multitable. I can cope now with 2 tables and at a push can play 3 tables, but, I do feel more comfortable when just playing 1 table. I think it is dependant on what style of player you are, I tend to fold a lot of hands and look for inconsistency in other peoples play before making my moves. My question for 'LOLUFOLD' is, how long did it take you to really feel comfortable on the tables. I know how to play, and have some decent results, but I still sometimes feel uncomfortable. Occasionally I'll be playing and suddenly feel unable to pull the trigger, usually after someone has sucked out. I tend to tighten up even more once someone has got there. I know this is the wrong sort of play but it seems to happen naturally. Is there a tip he can give to help with getting my head in gear and betting as I should. Best wishes.

    good luck to yourself tk and co tonight i think you should have a swear box in front, if anyone says the word film or train or rubs their chin they should put a quid in the box. then the rest of us can spend the night sending questions in to catch you out.the proceeds to go to charity

    £2.25 DYM - Posted that one in the Poker Clinic section already. Despite flopping trips, I hated my kicker here. Had some quite mixed feedback in the Poker Clinic thread so would like some more opinions, please :)

    Obviously as it was a DYM, there wasn't a "TV" icon, so I don't know if you can still show this hand or not?

    Evening James & Tikay loving the new look, makes everything seem less formal somehow.

    hope to see you all in Glasgow, I was gutted to miss Luton.

    Could you mention the forum DTD on monday night, it's the stsrt of a new monthly comp, and the thread will be up in GPC tomorrow.

    keep up the good work

     Question for Redmond. As you are renowned for your good, if slightly conservative, BRM, I was wondering what your story was in terms of when you started out and how you managed to rise through the cash game levels. Was there a dawning of the light moment that enabled you to suddenly up your game.

    Liking the new show but a little disappointed that, according to the schedule, Sky aren't showing any action from the live tournaments as they used to.

    Is the schedule mentioned anywhere? I've checked the various tv forum discussions but I cannot find anything about what the schedule is. Hope kiwi4u is wrong - because watching the live action is why a lot of us tune-in. Hoping you're not throwing the baby out with the old studio.

    Anyway do put us out of our misery & let us know.

    like the new studio

    i think sometimes tikay and others need to remember that some players (well myself anyway) play very low cash limits for fun.

    I have about 3 hours a week i can play poker in that time i limp , call re raises and probably generally annoy the grinders and improvers at my lowly level.

    I have no pretensions to improve or more up the levels and my £50 monthly deposit normally lasts at least 3 of the 4 weeks and i have had 10 hours of entertainment. (with the occasionally lucky tournament win at a low level)

    I appreciate one of the aims of the channel is to improve players but some of us are just here to relax and see some flops

    all the best
