Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Thursday Night on Sky Poker TV with Sarah Champion and Redmond Lee
Evenin!
Champs and Reds on the box from 7 with the poker clinic open and ready for business from 8. If you have a hand from a TV table you'd be interested in seeing analysed just email the hand ID to skyopen@bskyb.com or post below and we'll get it on the show! We're talking short stacking in cash games from 9, Top Of The Pots at 10 then we'll be covering the 12K Bounty Hunter as it happens from 11...
We'll also be playing 'guess the hands' testing YOUR hand reading skills with a top prize on offer! details on the show...
Also! The World Series of Poker has opened nominations for the Poker Hall of Fame Class of 2012 so thought it'd be good to see who gets your vote for the Sky Poker Hall of Fame!? Criteria includes: playing consistently well and gaining the respect of peers. Who on the site gets your vote? Who deserves recognition and induction into the 2012 Sky Poker Hall of Fame? Maybe we could add a few categories of our own, most improved? class Luckbox? class Donk? You get the idea...
And finally for now ever made a bet you lived to regret?
At the beginning of the Olympics, the radio station I work for promised to play Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' to match the amount of Golds achieved by Team GB, not thinking for a minute that would mean 29 times! The 'Spandathon' lasted well over THREE HOURS and was pretty torturous! So! ever made a bet you lived to regret? We all know our Carlo Citrone's got a few tales to tell on that score, let's hear yours!
GL on the tables, see you from 7

have a great show- looking foreward to it. i cant enter the comp tonight as ive never really been one for betting. i did have to suffer other people laying bets on me though when i played pool. it put a lot of pressure on my game so i can imagine how it must feel when playing poker with someone elses dosh. shudder shudder. can we nominate folk like Ryan and Reds for the hall of fame awards and are we limited to one nomination per class?
onwards and upwards :-)
Can you show this hand from the timed tourney, moments ago?

What does Redmond think? The raise size pre-flop is smallish because I know that the limper is unlikely to fold for any raise but I want to isolate them. Getting the blinds in doesn't make me happy until the flop hits. How does Redmond rate my raise on the flop? I feel as though it was fine to get value from a Jack, two-pair or pair with a draw... Not sure now whether I bet too much, even on this wettish board. Thank you.
(Might be better for the clinic, but I'll leave it up to you. You might think it's not worth showing. lol)
Just wondering what Reds thinks about my play here.
Am i right to be doing this when i have already seen the guy under the gun limping from early position time and again and have got him noted as a weak player and with the chips already in the pot worth getting i felt like i only had to get past him to add 25% to my stack.
Obvi when i see what he called with i am happy and i know i just got unlucky in what was a virtual flip but is my play ok or did i not need to be doing it here and just check to see a flop for free knowing this is a £5 buyin timed tourney and there are alot of players who wont be thinking the same way as if it was the primo etc ?
TYIA Daz.

My worst ever bet was not for money (however i wish it was) A drunken Poker satuday at a mates house ended up with the usual banter and someone decided before the big game to give a dare on who ever went out on the bubble. Basicaly who ever went out on the bubble had to strip naked and then put on a set of one of my mates mums underwear and walk to the local shop to buy some vaseline........
And low and behold Yes you guessed correct I was the bubble! (im sure i was stitched up).
However I downed a few more whiskeys and slipped on my new get up and strolled to the shop for my vaseline. One of the most embarasing moments of my life!
Oh did i mention it was snowing!!
Could you have a look at this hand and tell me if I played it wrongly
Hand History #555600662
Wow, I was in two hands shown and Redmond said in both cases I did the right thing! Still crashed out though :-(
Never had any TV time before... Thanks
I went busto a few minutes later. Playing these timed tournaments is driving me crazy. I can't make a profit for love nor... erm... money. *sigh*
Oh well. It's been a good few weeks on the other tables.
Have a great show lady and gentleman. Hope to see more of you in future Sarah. So much better than those other presenters.

When I first started watching the show Muse was so flamboyant, and Peg1 so calculating.
Saturday nights Top of the Pots was the highlight of the week especially with Lolufold in the mix as well.
But Redmond would be in the Hall of Fame already for his amazing Vegas cash
Otherwise it's a five hour long rub-down for whoever loses the hand. In which case:
FOR SHAME, Sky Poker!!!
lol
look amazin in red sarah
question for redmond i put up on forum today exactly what we saw in hand 7 andrew calling with 8 10 on the button when someone 3 bets is this a move you recommend as ive seen it so much lately people raising button with marginal hands and then calling 3 bets and then the c bet.
