Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Thursday Night Live with Rich, Tikay and Rich!
Plus of course- we'll need YOUR hands to show on TV.
If you're involved in or see anything interesting in the next 24 hours on any table with a TV icon next to it in the lobby.
(i.e. any 8pm main event or mini-event, or any mastercahs table)
jot down the hand i.d. number (found in hand history) and then psot it on here, stating what tournament/table it came from and why you want it shown.
We'll then do the rest!
Remember- we can't show any hands from a non-TV table, so don't go wasting your time with any others!

Greetings Sky Pokerers!
We’re live again this Thursday night on 865 and in the house will be myself…
...pictured here with Richard Branson, Tikay’s favourite ever person. This picture is soooo gonna tilt him!
Our resident analyst will be Tikay...
Our special guest this evening will be a face familiar to many Sky poker players, it’s Sky Poker Tour Rich aka Richard Prew...
As well as being able to pick his considerable brains on your poker play, Rich is the perfect man to ask any questions about the Sky Poker Tour.
So- let’s reminisce!
What’s your greatest memory of the Sky Poker Tour?
And, for a bit of fun,
Let's start a fight!
Let’s get the two of them arguing so send in your contentious questions- ones you think Tikay and Rich are bound to disagree on!
Some examples-
Poker is a young person’s game. Agree/disagree?
THE WSOP should always be evolving and tinkering with the format. Agree/disagree?
Who’s the greatest Brit to have ever lived?
Who’s the greatest sportsman/woman?
What’s the best ever film/TV series?
Richard Branson/Davina McCall (insert celebrity Tikay finds annoying here) is brilliant- discuss.
You get the drift.
If we like your question and you’ve emailed it in with your telephone number- we might give you a call so you can ask the fellas live on air and give them merry hell!
As ever, the best message contribution read out that night will win free entry to next week’s 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.

7pm this Thursday night. See you there!
As pot limit Omaha is just a game of pure luck, shouldn't it be banned from all card rooms?
Does he agree that Jedward would make great co presenters on Sky Poker everytime he is an analist?
Wouldn't the world be a better place if steam trains were never invented?
Question for Rich P...
... lets say you were looking for someone to do all the 'front of house' fluffy things at an SPT whilst you (and others) did hard work behind the scenes.
Responsibilities would include:
1) Talking a lot
2) Drinking Lattes
3) Talking about poker from years ago
4) Pretending you were a better player than Thewy
Who at Sky Poker would be best at that?
Associated question for Tikay...
... is Rich P responsible for the best ever rub-down about you?
WSOP needs to evolve to keep up with the changes on Sky Poker
Ekland of course!!!
Roy of the Rovers over 50 and still playing for Melchester Rovers
The Clangers - You have to agree Mr Orford. After all you drop several every show! - 40 years old and still going strong! The Clangers that is!
Divina McCall - Is brilliant because she gives away she's a Knit in her surname. If it was Divina McRaise she'd probably run all over Tikay!
no idea, but it's gotta be close...
Please ask Rich P - where the 'Tighty Sit & Gos' come from originally?
...and did I really have to play it with 1 card on my head? or do you do that to cover all the ugly faces?
Also, if they do have a fall out, they could make up with a scarf discussion *cue @julianthew*
To tie in with greatest/funniest moments on Sky Poker and a q for the experts....as well as yourself Rich!
......
What is the funniest/weirdest coincidence you've come across at the poker table? eg sitting next to long lost twin brother and not recognising him!
It puts me in mind of playing the DTD Forum T on monday. With less than a year playing very enjoyably on Sky, i came across this Tournament a couple of weeks ago, sounded fun though three way multi-tabling was hectic for me with best two positions to count and a nice free entry put up by Sky for the winner. I was told it was a friendly comp with friendly chat. I entered and it was.
Anyway i decided to play again on monday and was frantically clicking away for a while before getting knocked out of two games with just one lft.
Suddnly i got a q on chat...."Where u from Prof?"
I put "norris Green for my sins" to be answered "SNAP!"
Know "scargreen field?" he said........"yep"
"Know branstree?"........."OMG lol" i spluttered!
It turns out we lived in the same avenue and our house nos were within 20 of each other. He'd lived there since 1972 and ,with a few years off for good behaviour, i'd lived there since 1968. Can you believe that?
The person in q is capt of TeamDYM, 18AND5TIME, no less so you may well know him. He even railed me while playing himself on another table. My 66 going up against JJ and losing for a top 20 place while his 66later won a big pot and he went on to come 3rd, a cracking result in what turned out be a very close competition and with good friendly banter on the rail too. May i just flag up thanks to the organisers as it is done very well indeed with results and league tables etc.
I would say that i'm feeling like more of the community now and have been commenting on hds( i tend to look at Tikay's comment then say the opposite...just joking T!) as well as taking steps to improve by asking for advice from members whohave been very helpful. It seems like you have a good product here and are always willing to listen and iimprove it ......good stuff and long may it continue. Now about that question?........
We're live at 7pm tonight so please post your messages on here and I'll read them out throughout the show!
As well as the usual hand requests and poker questions/banter we're also looking for your memories of the SPT and also any questions I can put to Tikay and Rich that you think will get them disagreeing!
Another SPT question - which curry has been your favourite at an SPT event?
Have a Great Show Rich, Tikay & Richard,
Have E-Mailed something in for Tikay & Richard
Would love to talk to a few of you tonight on the show.
Have you got a good debate question to put to Tikay and Rich Prew?
Or are you a regular SPT goer and would like to talk about the tour and share a few memories about it with the guys?
Please email your name and tel no. to skyopen@bskyb.com and we'll get you on the show for a 3 or 4 minute chinwag!
Thanks Rich, weren't sure if it would be Possible to do, tho thought you would deffo be up for it
my cards ak all in called 99
flop a a 5 turn 9 river a
pure luck
nice to see you all back tina
Wow! So many to choose from. I have been to 13 events!
I think my favourite memory (apart from watching many friends go deep and final table- Sian yorkie74 in Notts in 2011 for example) wierdly has to be my most embarrassing memory...
Edinburgh 2009
Rich Orford, i think you will remember this... I had been tight on my table and people knew i had been to Vegas in 2008 with sky... anyway, i decide to 4 bet jam with Jack Three offsuit.. And i get snap looked-up by ACE 10 preflop. Tikay looked disgusted and asked me if those cards were mine! I shamefully admitted my mis-step, dont forget i had travelled from Folkestone, so surely i wouldnt donk out with junk.... Oh yes i would... Then Everton beat Spurs to make my day even better! Had stick about that J3 ever since, and it is my favourite "fun" hand to play to this day...
SPTs are tremendous fun, I look forward to them as they are usually my only holidays and to mix with all levels of players from all of the sites and different characters is great. Had hours and hours of laughs at the SNG tables with TKP, the squaddies and loads of others.
Bring on number 14.
Question for Rich Prew, Why do attractive young women (and solack) always win your "tighty" sit and goes?
Meeting and shaking hands with someone from the site and then later overhearing them say "they'd run out of toilet paper in the hotel so had to use their hand".
Junior hacksaw to the rescue.....
