My finest achievement in poker so far? I have two I am very proud of....
1) Bluffing Katja Thater on an A-K-K flop with 2-3 offsuit. I did a check-raise shove thing and she didn't like it when I showed the bluff. Germans don't like being bluffed by scrawny Englishmen.
2) Doing a four-hour live show with Sarah I am yet to do one with Tikay, which I would consider the pinnacle of my poker CV, obviously.
I don't think it's a case of finding a clique at all - I think Sporny's initial comments were meant to be light-hearted and Claire accepted it that way. Your reply was just a bit startling in the middle of the thread and I think it made a couple of people want to relax any tension.
You're always welcome to post on the forum and please do keep doing so
Right, let's get this thread back to the fun stuff, namely tonight's show. Have you lot ever bluffed any Germans? I know a man who has.... *ahem*.

If you would like to have your hands analysed on tonights show or have any questions for Tikay and James Dempsey in 'Ask the Expert' at 8pm. Please post or email your hand ID's stating which tournament or cash tables they are from as we can only show hands from tables with the TV icon.
You've pulled off some amazing achievements in your poker career and I am sure the swelling of personal pride really peaks when you think about that victory on the biggest of stages. The bright lights of the televised stage, the support you had from the Brits around you.... it must have been quite special.
So, can you tell us what it was like crippling Tony Kendall at the SPT Brighton?
2) Do you think that if people have a style that works for them in Holdem that it's good to transfer that style to Omaha? Or do you think you need to play a different style?
3) What style of play would you advocate for Omaha?
Tikay/Sarah if Dylan wears anything as ridiculous as last time (the Ice Cream man uniform) then please feel free to direct him to my wardrobe. xc Posted by scotty77
FML, rubs from you about my dress sense is nearly as bad as if it came from Greg or Jamie
Have a great show all. My best poker moment was winning the Monday forum DTD in January. An amazing tourny which, I believe, is the only tournament in the world that has never been won by Julian Thew.
This hand is from the open tonight. Could I have got away on the river? 500969706
Just wanted to say thank you for the replys to my questions.
Part of the reason i am trying to play more tables straight from the getgo is because of trying to clear the rather generous £1000 new player bonus that i recieved when joining sky the other day.
I have 30 days to get 15,000 points to clear that offer and also would achieve the 10,000 needed to get into the priority club while doing it which would be pretty good in my first month of playing on sky
Ive always had the problem of trying to walk before i could crawl hence why i asked about the limits i have started at but the answer you gave to that question was kinda the one i was wanting to here.
Missed tonight's Open registration by about 10 seconds, and was so engrossed in the live show that I forgot to register for the Super Roller satellite too -_- So any news on if/when late reg will be available on Sky?
Chat Box at 10pm tonight will be covering the following subject: 1. Its a boy- congratulations to Mr Orford 2. 500 Millionth hand 3. EPT Campione 4. SPT Cardiff 5. GUKPT Update 6. £25k GTD Super Roller 7. Sky Poker Team Challenge II- Super6 Team Challenge 8. New look Facebook pages 9. Viva Las Vegas 10. Channel 865- more news Posted by Sky_Claire
did Rich not win side event 9 month`s ago ?? if so with Tikay winning Brighton side event are we expecting mini Tikay`s ?? in 9 months ))))
Just heard Tikay say one of the players names ( Nashwan ) is the name of a famous racehorse.
Just incase he didnt know but i am sure he prob does that the screen alias i chose is also the name of a famous racehorse from the early 90s ARAZI, and incase he didnt know can you ask him when he gets the time to go onto youtube and take a look at ARAZIs victory in the breeders cup juvenile of 1991.
Without doubt one of the best performances from any racehorse EVER !
In a live game not on line If Tikay hasn't looked at his cards and he is sitting on the button in an unraised pot. What are his thoughts about raising without looking at his cards. Is it a good move or bad move?
C-BET OR NO C-BET that is the question??? I know i hit but hated the flop with the callers and the stack sizes? If you get the chance be nice to hear how i played this wrong as i am sure i did
Good evening Sarah, you're looking as lovely as ever.
Hearing Tikay speak earlier about what he would do with a World Series bracelet, I have to ask why he doesn't give it a go? If he fancied playing one of the many, many, many $1k events he should get in touch as I'd happily take 10% of his action. I'm sure lots of folk would give him their backing.
I'd also like to say that those people complaining about the show probably don't dislike everything. I really like the new shows but I'd be a bit of a weirdo if I liked everything about them. I'm watching again tonight... as always.

Tikay not so sure LOL
Only joking looking forward to a cracking show as usual!
Questions for Mr Dempsey please.
1) Any funny Tikay stories?
2) Do you think that if people have a style that works for them in Holdem that it's good to transfer that style to Omaha? Or do you think you need to play a different style?
3) What style of play would you advocate for Omaha?
Thanks

Do you know any well structured or good value non-Holdem live tournaments in the UK?
Question for James...Have you played on skypoker yet and are you playing in the super roller?

When 200+ Big Blind effective I have no preflop 4bet range, unless against an absolute maniac. Is this a mistake?
