You want more tournament coverage on 865?
Well you’ve got it this Sunday! We'll have FOUR hours of live, uninterrupted coverage of the Easter Sunday £25K Super Roller.
Driving the show all night will be myself, Richard Orford and Redmond Lee.
It's our first show together and with nothing but the big game to concentrate on, this is a must-see and, if you can play it, a must-experience.
So, real simple this time. No competitions, no frills, just watching and playing the live main event all the way till midnight.
We start at 7 for ‘Tonight on Sky Poker' and the big tourney coverage begins at 8.
Make sure you’re playing this Sunday- satellites are still running-and make sure you keep buzzing us with your interesting hands from that tournament. We're just going to do that main event and nothing else.
Also- the big question of the night.
Rate yourself as a poker player
Sum it up, how good do you think you are? What are your strengths? Weaknesses? What’s your killer weapon? What’s your Achilles heel? How far have you come in the last year? You can be serious, or you can be funny, but always be brutally honest.
Best message contribution on the night via this thread, email or Twitter will win free entry into Thursday Night’s Sky sports Bounty Hunter worth £33.
So just to recap…
Easter Sunday 7pm- 12am
IT’S SUPER ROLLER SUNDAY
BRING. IT. ON!!!!!!!
Should be an amazing tournament and show!

Better than average at micro- low stakes over 2-3 years
Progression - Not a lot - I learnt about position for the 1st time at Newcastle SPT almost 2 years back after playing the game for nearly 5 years
Achhiles Heel - Next to my foot
Main Weakness - It used to be a nice little extra side income ( not a lot - but enough) , but now whenever i go away for a few days I come back and cant get back into it. I haven,t played a hand online for nearly 2 weeks ,which is unheard of for me
I,ve got a seat in the Blackpool SPT which i,m really looking forward to and as a result have gone down to the G casino there (nearest casino to Preston ) and played a cpl of long cash sessions just for some practise -as i hadn,t played cash before in a casino but did ok at 50p/£1. and still play in my pub leaugue once or twice a week - I would go to the Casino more , but its nearly 30 miles away and i have to rely on a lift when others are going
My strength would have to be concentration and patience (when on my A game) at the right times and good BRM which neans i should never go skint, but once again i won,t be playing online tonight or tommorow because of the Masters,
Q for Redmond or anyone else - How do low stakes players who may not be making lots of money like Redmond motivate themselves to put the hours in online?
Thx
Have a good show

Strengths - Nothing.
Weaknesses - Everything.
Killer weapon - Being a luckbox.
Achilles Heel - Sitting at a Poker table.
How far have I come - Only thing that's progressed is the length of waiting list on my tables.
Strengths... not being afraid to take shots
Massive weakness, tilt withdrawing 95% of my bankroll after a week of running bad... and out of principle don't want to deposit so have to grind my way back up
Killer weapon, Overbet shoving the river
Achilles heel... my computer only being able to handle 3 tables at a time grrr
How far have you come in the last year: Well I've only been playing 1 year, but being in decent profit at each of cash STTs and MTTs
I think i am getting there always looking to improve my game and willing to learn.
My strength is Double your moneys and being able to access opponants hand ranges and taking the pot away in position.
My killer weapon is my sheer aggresion at the table always leaving my opponts clueless what i have got which is great when i have aces!
Achilles heel- Going on tilt and playing bigger games than i should!
Have come a lot in the last year i lived in America last year and started to play 1/3 cash games in an underground game in Orlando! Then i went to vegas for a week and played. Im always looking to improve my game.
Strengths-I feel I play well in position and use my aggression well
weaknesses-Sometimes overthink situations and also struggle to lay a big hand down at times
I feel over the last year I`ve defo improved especially in my cash game which was always my weakest format and least profitable now its my best format most profitable lol but at a cost my mtts have suffered don`t play as much as I used to because i`m always grindin the cash tables and don`t know if its just variance or I just suck at mtts now but no had a big win in nearly a year but we will see in the future if it turns for me goin to try ans sat into the 25k tourney tonight so wish me luck and hopefully yous will see me at final table tomorrow lol.
have a good show on sun guys
Actually, I have to give you credit for playing very impressively on Wednesday evening, one or two mistakes aside. A staggering ROI in a timed tournament of 1226%... tough to argue with that. Very nicely done.
As for my own game:
How good am I? - Not as good as I'd like to be.
My greatest strength - Reading your soul. lol
Biggest weakness - What's one of those?
The last year - Hardly played a hand in the last six months, so not very profitable.
also i thought us male`s could have more paternaty time off or did mother hen grab you by the goolagong`s and told you to get back to work ??
i`m not tonite biggy but gl all esp the TPT PLAYERS
T Minus 4 hours!
107 players in the mix right now for tonight and massive overlay in the biggest game on the site for weeks.
Get into those sats for your chance to play on the big tables tonight on live national television and a shot at a massive cash prize.
Meantime- keep the answers coming in on rating yourself as a player- they're all excellent- I'll be reading them all out from 7pm onwards.
As soon as the game begins let's get those hands sent in. Clock the hand i.d. number from the Super Roller and post it to us on this thread with a a few words of explanation as to why you want it shown.
You don't have to be involved in the hand or even to be playing in the tournament- if you're watching tonight's tournament then please be our eyes and ears on the ground and alert us of anything huge on the baize. Brilliant poker play, sick hands, fantastic lay-downs, talking points etc etc.
My strengths :- When I'm playing well, I am ultra aggressive.
My Weaknesses :-When I'm playing bad I'm still ultra aggressive
My killer weapon :-Disguising my hands in the mid/late stages
My achilles heel :- Poor timing when trying to bluff someone.
How far have I come in the last year :- Its difficult to assess as when I started back on Sky Poker in August/September I played really well up to Christmas, then I started a monster downswing. I am now on new tablets and my head feels a lot clearer and I have less pain which equals less propencity towards tilting. I would say I've learned a lot in the last year as I haven't missed a single 865 show. Knowing stuff doesn't necessarily equate to putting it into practice, so that is my goal this year. I will be trying to implement all the tips I've learnt over the stated period. Lets hope it starts tonight in the Super Roller.
Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
Blimey, I'm excited about this tournament. I'd defo be playing be it if I wasn't hosting it.
A little bit of value has gone begging there, sorry folks!
best of luck to everyone playing tonight!
4 hours to the big game.
