    personally i think that scotty is a great asset to skypoker, with multiple layers to him. He has great solid biscuity poker fundamentals that he has honed from years of playing on sky. He also comes off as having a very smooth, almost caramel-esque persona, especially when paired with anna fowler. I have met ryan irl many times, and he always comes off as such a sweet person, it's almost like he is covered in a thin chocolately layer. All of these attributes are wrapped up with a shiny golden smile.

    In Response to Re: Scotty77 Hand Analysis : Ha, thanx JPW. Recently I've contributed a couple of times to an informal online group poker HH discussion in a group chat situation.  Even explaining basic low stakes concepts/thought processes to (online) friends, in a relaxed, environment has proved to be alot harder than I expected. Some things are really tough to explain in a way that people in the group will understand.  It's no doubt 100x harder in front of a camera, where you can't say "oh f it I dunno, move on" mid hand! ;) 865 hand analysis is alot better nowardays. gd job analysts.

    I hope you dont mind me admitting to being someone whos been involved in some of these discussions.

    One thing i will say is how JJ explains everything is fantastic. One thing i really like is mid hand i can say this was my reasoning and he'll respond accordingly. Obviously this would be much harder for the TV to do because we dont wana share a worlds worth of information on reads with the entire nation.

    As one whos spoke to JJ loads id love to see him on the tv. Perfect amount of poker banter with the odd bit of wind up and other banter. And someone who can take a rubdown or two.

    However i dont see it happening.

    Ryan is a very good anylist imo, things he says are fantastic, couple of hands from tonight he explained brilliantly, in particular the hand lol_i_call sent in i felt he spoke this brilliant. I had a different view point from mel on how the hand was played and i asked mel to make sure that was brought across when posting it, so that Ryan knew why she was. He understood both the line id have prefered Mel to have taken and the line she did take, and spoke of the benifits of both.

    I actually believe the show with Ryan, TommyD and Jakally was one of the best ive ever watched. The hand anylisis on that was phenominal. Please put these 3 together again.

    1979: Twix is introduced in the United States.
    2012: Scotty77 travels to the United States to, " play in the Main Event of the WSOP "
    Coincidence ? Of course !

    Great Show Sunday night James & Ryan

    It's a pretty tough job commentating live, but also playing under the microscope. Particularly as I wanted to learn from it but at the same time not wanting to expose a consistent playing style to everyone watching. And I end up on a shark-infested table but still need to give the viewers something to watch.

    As for those two hands - folding the AA full of KKK was easy. The previous time I had been asked to appear on the Sunday show by phone (after winning a Sat night Survivor) I managed to bust out before that segment came on air. The last thing I wanted to do in the first few minutes of Sunday's show was to dump most of my stack. The way he had played didn't rule out he held the case K, so I just called - losing value but remaining on the TV for longer.

    Then the J9s 3bet oop. Well I had been appearing a bit nitty - particularly ater the AA fold, so I threw in a curve ball just to confuse those who had thought they were starting to work me out. It didn't cost a lot and was an easy fold therafter - well worth it for adding some confusion to those trying to deduce my play - targetted at the other players but with Scotty77 as collateral damage.

    So I feel sorry for Ryan having to interprete these hands without knowledge of these other factors. I thought he did an excellent job, a little confused as to my play in those two hands but without knowing everything behind them.

    And what have I learnt - mainly be careful on bet sizing - don't throw away value - and pay attention to any opportunities to win a few chips (ie blind on blind / on button when it's checked around etc). Thanks guys - maybe enough to see you in Vegas next year.

    don't mention it but it did give me an idea.
    your poker journey has been arduous yet successful. you don't strike me as the novice scotty77 anymore, the superstitious kid with a penchant for 7's and rage tilt.
    you are a professional poker player and poker expert working on tv now, light years away from your humble origins!
    it's time that you reinvented yourself and acknowledged your rightful status and true destiny !
    every great player has a nickname so, from now on, throughout the poker world, i think you should be known as Ryan " Twix " Spittles.
    catchy huh and different ? i think it sounds cool !
    you can use a Twix bar as your card marker ( think of the potential rewards for this endorsement ? yum yum ! )
    every time you get down to 20 BB's you could maybe eat the Twix and benefit from the sugar rush or, alternatively, taking your cue from the great Barry Greenstein, give your Twix to the player that knocks you out of a tourney by way of a gentlemanly reward ?
    good luck in your Vegas odyssey !
    be positive and ' think Twix' man !
