    Hi rich and ryan.  I have made a cup of tea, made a sandwich went to the toilet.  Most awkward thing is when im the only person in the house and im on about 6 tables and the doorbell rings and i dont want to answer it but know i have to!  Then i find it was a stranger at the door collecting money for charity and there having a conversation with me and i have to keep asking them to repeat what there saying as im standing at the front door holding the laptop making decisions and zoned out from the conversation!  Another thing i find annoying but i cant say anything as i dont want to be rude is if theres a visiter in the house and they come into the room and there asking me loads of random subjects other than poker and i just want to concentrate!

    What have you proven you can do at the same time as playing a game on Sky Poker?

    Pilot a time machine!

    We've all done it.
    We sit by the computer at 8pm to play the main event. Time passes so quickly that before we know it, we're out! left contemplating why we didn't see  our exit hand coming!
    Happens every time for me! what seems like moments, is actually hours into the future by the time I finish.

    What I can't understand is :-
    When you explain to the Girlfriend that you forgot to pick her up from work because you were engrossed in Sky poker!
    Seconds turn into months before she forgives you!

    Good evening gentlemen

    I have an admirable aptitude for working my day job in an admin office while playing on sky poker, demonstrating initiative bordering on gross misconduct when fabricating office crises to explain my absence from meetings when i run deeper in a bounty hunter than Ihad dare to hope for.

    I generally don't spend half as much time concentrating on the tables as I should. I do all sorts, browsing the forum and facebook, watching tv/films, playing the Xbox, doing housework, getting food/drink, now doing my xmas shopping, and I used to solve my rubiks cube over and over again while playing.

    I usually get ready for a night out whilst playing poker (and listening to music) on the laptop
    normally consists of - bath (obv the laptop was outside the bath and i had to attach a cheap mouse with the laptop sat on the clothes basket as i didnt trust myself with the laptop touchpad with wet hands. Bath followed by a shave and then straightening my hair, ironing my clothes. Pretty easy for me tho as Im a nit and I only play like 5 hands an hour

    Hi all.  I have done a few things while playing poker, mainly cooking and drinking.  One of the funniest ones was playing the Primo, mimi Primo and hitsquad donk a fun while watching the England game and talking to you, Richard and James while you analysed my play in the primo.  What made it fun was my eldest was still up watching the football with me and, while I was talking to you said "shush Daddy, I'm trying to listen to you on the telly!"  I won the donk and came 7th in the Primo.

    I was also multi tasking the last time I won the main event but you won't be able to read out what I was doing as you can't read it out on air and I will get banned!  Needless to say it involved a Dutch lady and if you want to know more then you will have to ask at SPT Luton :)

    Run well and have fun

    Evening gents,

    Question for Rylan

    Whats your thought on overbetting the pot on the river. Do you think it is a good strategy? Do you do it? Is it done enough?

    Matt

    Hi guys

    Great show as usual,bit of topic, but seeing as though were talking poker just saw this random saying on twitter.and its so apt in poker terms.


    “When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with experience leaves with money and the man with money leaves with experience”

    Hi Rich

    Credit to you for a brave effort at tackling my name earlier, one that is rarely pronounced correctly, and is often turned into Burst!  I'm not entirely sure of the correct pronounciation myself, but have gone with "byoost" for the 35 years Ive had it. However, if you think your effort is better, I'm more than happy to go with it from now on.

    Great analysis tonight gents, I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

    Advice on this hand please?? I have flopped the massive nuts and to be honest i just didnt know what to do with it
    I realise my bet was too small, which looked suspect. But i felt checking would look strong aswell. Maybe i am just never getting paid. But should i ever check this hand??

    Hi still sitting enjoying a great show. On Sunday while playing the £30k super roller i could hear the door knocking so i answered with laptop in hand and there was a sky rep. I explained i did not wish to b rude and told him we had the top package on sky and showed him i was playing poker. He then said well ok can i watch so he sat and watched @ the table and sold me sky multiroom.
    So i have proven I can play poker, answer the door and sign up to sky multiroom oh yes and make him a coffee.

    Hi guys and especially Sky Dan

    Well if im not multi-tabling on sky poker and only playing a couple

    I would be usually helping with my daughter homework in a evening
    or just reading poker books/listening to music or cooking tea/putting the kids to tea

    Enjoying the Show and have even worked out a leak in my MTT play whilst watching tonight
    Regards

    greetings gents, hope you are both well.

    i have done many things while playing poker on skypoker - eat, drink and even breathe (unless it's an all in!)
    the strangest thing was trying to deal with my distraught daughter on the phone after she had just been dumped. i had made one of my very rare final tables and had to try and be the sympathetic dad at the same time... not easy especially when i was outdrawn on the river!

    have fun

    hi Rich and Ryan

    been a good show.

    one of the best things i do while playing is cuddling up to boyfriend. its not a great multi-tasking story but it sure is the nicest way to play.

    onwards and upwards :-))
