Jmaes, I just read the piece you wrote and linked to above. Your a great writer. I enjoyed the route you took with the piece and you make some great choices on the angle you come at it from. If this is natural then you are a genius and if it was carefully thought out then it is even more admirable as to make great choices consciously is a rare skill that not many have. Brilliant piece and I hope you link to many more as I could read them all day!
Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

    In the wake of the £25k Super Roller, the excitement continues on channel 865. Tonight's five-hour opus promises to be awesome, as Mr Rutter and I will be joined in the studio by Kevin MacPhee:


    Kevin took up poker in 2003, after watching Chris Moneymaker win the WSOP Main Event. He turned pro a few years later, crushed on-line MTTs, and started playing the live circuit in 2008. Two years later, he took down EPT Berlin for €1m. His live tournament winnings exceed $2m...he's one half of poker's hottest couple...

    ...and he came close to winning his second European Poker Tour title in San Remo last October. However, Kevin was eliminated from the final table by Barny Boatman. Controversy followed (read THIS).

    So, PLENTY to talk about with Kevin! Plus, we want YOUR questions and hand IDs for the 'Ask the Expert' section of the show at 8pm. Please e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com, tweet using #SkyPokerTV, or post in this thread.

    It also seems appropriate to ask: how does tilt affect YOUR game and what do you do to combat it?

    Finally, we'll be discussing the importance of position in MTTs and cash games in 'Sky Poker School' at 9pm, a variety of topics will be covered in 'Chat Box' at 10pm, and we'll turn our attention to the 'Master Cash' tables at 11pm.

    have a good show james. 

    would it be possible to arrange for joe stapleton to be your guest again?  that show must rate as being one of the most entertaining we've seen.

    i am looking forward to tuesday night... we all agree that you're a fine presenter, we all agree that stuart is an excellent analyst and we all agree that kevin has a gorgeous girlfriend.

    Thanks, Rob.

    The show's actually TOMORROW night (Tuesday).

    As for Mr Stapleton...I'm optimistic I can persuade him to make a guest appearance in early May!

    Number 9 looks like the talking point. Just make sure you don't run over on the other points as that will need some time for all the guesses that people will undoubtedly come in.

    Hi guys.

    Loving kevins input already.

    For players like myself who are new to the game and are trying to learn from watching the guests and analysts on 865 it is fantastic when i switch on and see guys like kev and stuart who explain things so well and make it much easier for a new player to understand.

    Not forgeting you aswell James mate (one of my fav presenters on 865) this line up makes for a very good show.

    Hey guys

    Is this an easy fold/good fold or a bad fold in a fast paced tournament with 50BB effective very early on?  Thoughts on flatting pre on both chances I get please  Yes it's a bit of a chirp.

    Hi again guys.

    I sent this hand into thursdays show but seeing as you are talking about position i feel it is better to show it here instead.

    My question is should i be playing this hand in the way i did because i have position ?

    I find it hard to play mid pocket pairs after a reraise pre and was wondering what the best way of playing them should be, i never know if i should be showing more strength and 4 betting or just set mining in position with a view to trying to take the pot down if i see weakness ?

    The reason i didnt reraise pre here was because the 3 bet came from out of the blinds and i felt i would be facing a premium hand.

    Hand number 501797253 and it came from action table 24 on 05/04/12

    Ty Daz and please dont be too harsh because ive only been playing poker 11 days :)

    Hi guys, just joined the show after being out all evening...

    I have a question...

    I usually play low-stakes cash and SnGs with modest but consistent success, but like to use my Poker Points on Freeroll MTTs as a bit of fun. The tournaments usually have about 500 runners, with 5-minute blinds, making them quite turbo-ish.

    I start off playing a quite solid and tight-aggressive style (but happy to get in all in with a monster). I do OK, and I am very good at surviving into the last quarter or third of the field, but by this point I nearly always find myself short-stacked (10bb or less) and then have to rely on a few lucky double-ups to cash.

    I am not usually an MTT player. I have played 60 of these Freerolls and cashed in 11, including 3 final tables (but no win), making about £23, which is better than a kick in the teeth I suppose.

    What tactics would you employ to maximise value out of these Freerolls, which I imagine play looser than 'normal' MTTs?

    PS: Just joined tonight's Freeroll over 10 minutes late and found myself ahead of my starting stack!
