Sunday's live show - with James, Jen & Nick (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

It's going to be an awesome, five-hour televisual experience!

Not only will we be devoting TWO hours to the Viva Las Vegas Final...

Not only are we introducing Jen Mason as a new Sky Poker expert...

We also have a special guest analyst - in the unorthodox shape of Nick Wealthall...

Many of you will remember Nick from the early days of channel 865. He was a regular analyst on The Open and anchored the first ever series of Sky Poker School. In the last few years, he's been my regular wingman on EPT Live...

And he's the official host of the hugely successful UKIPT (although I don't think the tour's success actually has anything to do with him). We'll delve into Nick's life story in detail on the show. If you have any questions for Mr Wealthall, please e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com, tweet using #SkyPokerTV, or post in this thread.

At 8pm, Jen and Nick will be analysing MY play in Tuesday's £5k Open. In Sky Poker School, at 9pm, we'll be discussing playing small pocket pairs in heads-up cash games (so, please offer your thoughts on this). And from 10pm, it's VLV all the way.

As the night will end with (at least) one Sky Poker player winning a £10k trip to Las Vegas, it's only appropriate that we focus on the poker playing capital of the world...

Vegas anecdotes is always a fun topic, so please share yours!

    Nick as a renowned TV presenter on the UKIPT, EPT, the English Premier League and one of founding presenters of Sky Poker School.  

    Also having written comedy for such great shows as Have I Got News For You and produced great Podcasts in the past.  

    Not forgetting your credible poker credentials such as being the winner of the Sussex Masters 2010 Main Event and UKIPT Nottingham Charity Bounty tournament.

    I'd really like to know - What's it like working with Liv?

    VEGAS ANECDOTES

    Hi John
    Enjoyed seeing you and Carlo have a bit of banter after the failure of your guest to turn up. You carried it off very well  if indeed it was last minute. Oh yes how do you manage to put a x2.5bb  bet on as i saw you do it(or some exact amount)? I can only put x2 0r x3. Thanks in advance.

    Anyway my question is, what are your top three card rooms in vegas and why?

    My anecdote refers to wanting to play poker in vegas and having the opportunity by taking a tour of california and hawaii with my girlfriend in october 2011 after starting on Sky in june, which also had a detour for a couple of days in vegas too. 
    I researched the best card rooms on the net but we were staying at the Stratoshpere so i played there due to time constraints. Unfortunately, the experience was hindered by the proximity of the noisy gaming floor and the number of drunks at that time of night. Shame really. 
    The best room i saw was at The Monte Carlo casino. A lovely intimate, quiet room with original art on the walls. My girlfriend and i were given a lovely welcome by the room managers who allowed us to have photos taken with them and of the room.   Personally my other two favourites were Wynn's(very classy and oozed old-time elegance) and Caesar's Palace(superb room and atmosphere). I intend to go back and play them one day.

    So what about yours folks. Cheers Profman15
    PS The Bellagio had a big tournament on and i've never seen so many tables crushed together. Certainly not my idea of fun!

    OK, so we've established I'm not the cop from 'Sin City' and that JockBMW has developed a rather worrying obsession with my cat, but back to the matter(s) in hand...

    Questions for Nick Wealthall and Vegas anecdotes, please.

    Also, heads-up cash specialists: please rate the value of small pocket pairs.

    The sick thing is I was considering it, especially as I've practically done that money already on the Sats.

    Then again I always win MTTs covered by Jen Mason on SkyPoker  (very thin veil there).

    Hi James enjoying the show and the lovely Jen is good to listen to,i have a question for Nick what would he make of a player who has notes on another player which say "I hate you please die".

    I think that player would be a sad individual lol,can you ask Nick his thoughts on this.

    Great show tonight guys, I've been chuckling my bits off.

    Question for Nick.  With the massive success of the UKIPT and the great work Nick does as it's host and on Poker Radio and TV, does he think the next time he rails Kara Scott at the WSOP Norman Chad will know who he is?

    My marriage in Vegas required no registration/recording in the uk to make it legal.

    For Nick - unfortunately the marriage is binding!!

    Depositing the Marriage Certificate

    Your marriage will be legal in the UK, however, as it will have been performed under USA marriage laws your marriage can not be ‘registered’ here in the UK. 

    When a British Citizen gets married within the UK the marriage is ‘registered’ with the GRO, but if a British Citizen gets married outside the UK the marriage can only be ‘recorded’ (deposited) with the GRO. These deposited marriage certificates are kept so that if you require a copy of your marriage certificate you can request this from the GRO, rather than having go back to the country you got married in.

    Have just got in and seen 5 minutes of the show so far (the rest is recorded on Sky+).

    I assume, from what I have seen, the segment from 10 - 11pm was a laughing gas experimental hour and John had more than his share.
