Greetings fellow poker lovers!
Sky Poker TV beckons you for another night of pokertainment this Tuesday- live on Channel 865 from 7pm till midnight with myself, Richard Orford
And the man with the Ready Brek glow- Carlo Citrone
Joining is from 10pm to discuss all the latest developments in the world of poker will be poker journalist Jon Young.
Here’s the rundown as I have it, subject to change…
7pm – Tonight on Sky Poker
- What’s coming up on the site over the night
- And action from the TV cash tables
8pm – Ask the Expert
- Get your hands analysed by Carlo by sending in your hand IDs from the TV icon tables
9pm – Sky Poker School
- Bet-sizing in MTTs
10pm – Chat Box- subjects to be posted in a separate thread below
11pm – Master Cash
- Action from the TV cash tables moments after it happens
Jon Young is bringing along some nifty WPT goodies and he's set a question to win it.
WPT World Champion Scott Seiver "threw nubs" every time he won a hand at last year's WPT World Championship. What was he doing ?
If you know the answer, or can make an educated guess- then EMAIL it, yes EMAIL it only (do you really want to post it on here and have loads of people copy and paste your answer and reduce your chances of winning?!) to skyopen@bskyb.com
Meantime, all night Carlo are taking your answers on this question and the best one will win a free seat into next Tuesday's 5K Open 8pm main event.
Simply tell us-...
If you were the ‘President of Poker’ what one change would you implement straight away?
Is there an annoying rule you want simplified or removed? Is there something you’d modify at the WSOP? Is there some format you would promote and try to make more popular than hold’em? Etc etc.
Whoever we think comes up with the most interesting/amusing/inspired or genuinely useful suggestion will win the seat. But we'll read all the entries out all night.
So get posting! Plus of course, send us all your usual stuff. Remember, we always need hand i.d.s so we can show your play on TV!
See you tonight at 7!
Do i need to adjust the colour and contrast settings or is he staying away from those tanning shops recently?
Thx
have a good show

Well id start by advertising several low stake big guarentee tournaments. Id then change the rule in some casinos live that if someone not in the hand requests to see your hand they can would be removed. No pay no see in my opinion. Amount of times ive been there trying to flip my cards into the muck is funny. And my last major change would see all satellites 1 in 5.
Is it greedy to suggest making Sky Poker the only poker site in the world?
Muahahahahaaaaa!
Aspers Swansea to close? My missus just booked my 40th there in a couple of months, how imminent is it?
FFS
Not to sure about the first picture of you, the one of you begging in the street.?
How about David Dickinson & Carlo discussing textures in face cards on the turn. Or my proper suggestion, cough, cough, leaving the two jokers in the pack and if you get dealt both; You win the pot. ? Good eh! Ok I'll go away.?
Have a great show I will be watching so no slip ups. Oops ! Hugs Annie xxx
Change that photo of yourself stooping with your hand out. You look like you're in deperate need of some toilet roll....it must be your age fella!! Cheers
PS When is Carlo's chicken suit being donned ? Get Sky to film it please. Tell him to tip the chef...we know he likes tipping a lot...$1000!!! wow!
PS was he trying to tilt Neil Channing in that discussion because it did, didn't it?
I'd change the currency of online poker to £'s stirling!
Because I could!
besides there are millions more British playing online poker than Americans. lol
Some Online Poker Sites ONLY deal in £ sterling....best stick to them, imo.
You make a good point though - how utterly ridiculous that people are asked, on some sites, to play poker in a foreign currency.
I'd like to implement a policy of
Youth and Asia
No I don't mean putting Tikay down!
I think we should have two tours WSOYGP & WSOOSP
World Series of Young Gun Poker and World Series of Old School Poker
Culminating in a Grand final in the Far East Macau, Hong Kong Singapore Bankok etc I believe the welcome and facilities would far outweigh Vegas and that part of the world now has the money and resources to make the final a true spectacle
All Hoodies will be surgically removed and incontinence pads made compulsory for the elder players!
Carlo could take the opportunity of topping up his tan on exiting the tournament. Based on recent performances he might have the time to make the break from orange to brown!
Only joking but seriously looking forward to another great show!
Afternoon all,
In the office now prepping for tonight's show as more details emerge about it.
Firstly- Sky Poker School from 9pm will be on the subject of bet-sizing in MTTs.
If you have any hand i.d.s from TV tables or questions, advice on this subject then please fire them in.
Secondly- Jon Young has set his own question for his WPT goody give-away.
So, his question is now in the Opening Post. please note, send any answers to that question via EMAIL only (skyopen@bskyb.com) or else you're going to get a jobload of people copying and pasting your answer on the forum and totally reducing your chances of being one of only a few correct answers to go into the hat.
Jon will announce the answer and draw the winner during the latter stages of ChatBox- somewhere around the 10.45pm mark.
Good answers on the 'President of Poker' subject I set earlier- we'll do that all night and Carlo and I will award a Tues night 5K open seat for next week to the suggestion we like best. So keep them coming please!
Looking forward to the show and I'll see you at 7!
You are not allowed to say "sorry" when you blatently luckbox a suckout on somebody, you are not sorry and when you get it in bad you are hoping for the 1 or 2 outer!!
A large hand should descend from the ceiling and give you a slap!
Also the dealer should be allowed to tell you how much is in the pot instead of just spreading it, silly rule
Dave
More answers please folks and anything else you care to share with the rest of the class.
I'm never happy till I hit at least 100 posts. What's going on? Anyone would think we suddenly had good weather or something!
;-)
If I were 'president of poker' for a day: in all seriousness I would probably have to implement a standardised code of rules for live play. Poker is rather notorious for it's lack of this which strikes as a bit of an anomaly in the modern day.
What I would rather do, though, personally, is implement a shift in attitude regarding etiquette. I'm a bit old school with my views here but I think good etiquette should be paramount in poker. I would prefer to see a much firmer line taken on those who persistently display bad etiquette, thereby harming the overall image of the game.

Hi Rich, Carlo, Jon,
As President of Poker (Online) I would invent new buttons for the screen....
"Unfold" - this button allows you to use hindsight to get back into the hand.
"Lendsies" - allows you to get your money back after being stacked
"Self Abuse" - no, it is to give yourself a good talking to in the chatbox.
have a good show.
Definitely will be read out on tonight's show and will be in the mix for the prize.
Cheers!
hi have a good show tonight.
If I was the president of poker the one thing I would change in poker, Is if a player has a flush with for example 7 9 of diamonds and the flop was 3 diamonds lower than 7 9 and another person on the same table also has a flush but they have 6 J of diamonds, I would make it a split pot because the person with the 7 9 flush probably thinks they've got the better hand and puts most of they're chips the pot and they’re gutted when they lose to the other hand with a flush.
thanks
Hi Guys have a good show tonight,
If i was President of Poker for one day there would be Total Mayhem online because,
All the top Cash players would have to play at least 2-3 hours between NL8 & NL20 - would be good Fun & Experience for the Regs at these levels.
All the Analysts & Presenters on channel 865 would have to swap Roles for one night only (would be very interesting listening to Rich Orford talk about Trains, Motorways & Bridges).
Bad Beat moaning would be Banned for the day as you would be expected to enjoy playing whatever the outcome (Good Sportsman/womanship).
There would be a one off Forum DTD where the Winner would get a VLV Package
