Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Thursday's live show - with James & tikay (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)
Stand by for the usual mix of tournament and cash Hold'em on channel 861...
We'll start, at 7pm, by following the players in a Satellite for Thursday's main event (the £15k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter).
At 8pm, it's The Poker Clinic. So, please send in your Hand IDs and questions. As usual, we'll be employing our pioneering hand-masking technology.
From 9pm, there's an hour of Speed Cash, followed by this week's Top of the Pots countdown.
Finally, at 11pm, we'll pick up the action in the £15k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the following topic...
Does live poker need the equivalent of the on-line poker 'time bar'?
It's a major talking point on the tournament circuit. Many pros are frustrated about the amount of time some players are taking to make (basic) decisions. Is this a problem you've encountered? Do live events need a 'shot clock' or 'time bank'? Is there a more workable solution?
Plus, we've got five seats in the Mini Primo to give away. A couple of weeks ago, we played 'Carlo Bingo'. Now, it's time for...
Tikay Bingo!
Over the course of the five-hour live show, Mr Kendall will no doubt drift onto the following subjects:
BRICKS
PLANES
TRAINS
MOTORWAYS
BRIDGES
The first time he mentions one of the above, please e-mail the subject heading (e.g. "BRICKS!") to skyopen@bskyb.com and, if you're the first person to e-mail the studio, you'll be declared a Bingo winner, and a Mini Primo seat will be yours!
Comments
No bridges?
Note to those entering;
I have not asked upstairs, but I'm not 100% sure there will be a Mini-Primo this Sunday, as it is SUPER ROLLER night.
So, if there is NOT a Mini-Primo this Sunday, the prizes will, at the winners choice, EITHER be the Mini-Primo the FOLLOWING Sunday, or this Sunday's Mini Main.
Meanwhile, here's a quiz for you.
What have these two photos gave in common?
Next up, we will discuss the difference between pressed, perforated, & common bricks, between Class A & Class B Engineering bricks, why second hand "stocks" are the most expensive bricks to buy, English & Flemish bond, headers & stretchers, & the greatest question of all, how would you describe the purpose of a brick to an unsighted person.
Oh, & tonight's £33 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter, which has a very stiff Guarantee of £15,000, but to which there will be loads of satellites.
Oh, & the fact that the word "brick" even has a meaning in poker.
Can you think of other eveyday words & objects which have now developed a meaning in poker?
Here's one, to get you started.....
Hand History #588760173 (22:41 20/11/2012)
The hand is from the £6k OPEN
I had a pair of 9's approaching the bubble.
I was short stacked but wanted to get more than one opponent involved.
After the flop I folded because I was frightened by the cards
What should I have done?
I eventually cashed in 27th place but had to shove a number of times to achieve the cash.
Was this an opportunity lost or an inspired fold?
your opinions please, early days in £2.20 BH got bullets could i have milked much more from this hand? as i basically didn`t want opponents to fold after the flop. have a good show
Have a good show Tikay & James,
Managed to get through to tonights Main £15k BH via the Sats so will also play the Mini as well
btw what on earth is Tikay Bingo
Nice to see the Father and Son team back on Sky TV.
Regards
Nigel
