Tonight LIVE on Sky Poker TV- Rich and Tikay- 7pm-midnight show thread

RICHORFORD · February 2015

The one thing that sits in my mind was sitting at a mastercash table with this guy ricorford, he normally sits at the low stakes but this time he went for 100nl, so for some tv time id sit down, although the hands where i got in against this player was the end of the hour and wasn't showed

i sat with about £40 and spun it up to about 150 and won some nive pots against him..... was a good night.

As Cheltenham is coming around again it has to be my biggest payday of the festival.

I had always wanted to take the 3 / 4 days off for the festival but with work commitments I never could until 2008.

It started off badly on day 1 and day 2 was cancelled due to high winds lol.

Day 3 was a break even day and day 4 missed the first four races as had to attend a funeral.

Which left me with the final two races.

I did an each way double Tiger Cry 15/2 and Silver Jaro 66/1.

Tiger Cry won quite handily and Silver Jaro ridden by Neil Fehily went out like a bullet and led by about 40 lenghts.

The last 3 or 4 furlongs felt like miles as slowly but surely the fav was reeling in Silver Jaro.

Amazingly Siler Jaro held on to win and land me my biggest racing payday.

Its not often you go into a bookmakers and they ask you to come back while they count your money .

A five figure payday and everyone drank for free that night.

Just realised it was 7 years ago. Feel old now.

RICHORFORD · February 2015

Good start- thanks Chris and Pat.

As for anyone else reading this right now, let's have YOURS please!

Remember- it could land you a free spot in the quarter-finals for the UKPC.

Matt237 · February 2015

As a fan of a non league football club I am interested in lower league football so last year after I had turned 18 I put a on £5 accumilator for 5 non league divisions of outright winner with each way odds slashed by 1/4 for top 3 (Odds on league winners approximately 9/1 , 12/1 , 15/2, 14/1 and a 33/1 gamble). I managed to get 4 out of the 5 leagues with the correct winners, and in the other league my 33/1 gamble finished 2nd, to scoop winnings of around £3200.

Funnily enough said 33/1 team were top of the league with 2 games to go - and they lost one of those games. No comment on how large winnings would have been had they won their league (6 figures!) but what I won was a decent consolation. That was also my first bet too, decent brag.

Nothing, ever, ever will beat the longshot shocker that a certain individual winning the Leeds Sky Poker Tour side event in 2011....

... cue the Richard Orford smug face.

To be followed by Mr Kendall saying 'what have you won since then?'

karlluke · February 2015

Hi rich and tikay

the longshot bet i remember was way back in the 70s. There was a special bet at romford dogs. The first race you picked three dogs in a 10p forecast allways which cost 60p. Then if you won that you only had one pick to forecast the first two dogs. Only eight people went through to the second leg. I got it right and won £147.10. Its funny how you remember the one off gamble. Back then this was more than a months wages for me. Hope you have a good show tina

Well, there is that winning the £2.20 Deepstack the first and only time I ever played it...

Sir-Gary · February 2015

Not that I remember it myself, but I suppose the luckiest moment for me was when my father decided to come home early from work, which was unusual but he felt he had too. When he got home I was crying in my pram outside the house( it was a few years ago). My father picked me up and walked into the house nomsooner had he done that when they heard a thud sound. My father and mother went back outside to see a large roofing slate on the pillow of my pram.

rainman397 · February 2015

Good evening Mr Orford and Sir Tikay.
Did someone mention the £2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK.

All the best.
Rainman397.

Sir-Gary · February 2015

I would normally say great show so far, but you have failed already by linking the wrong thread to the show thread link.

unknown_username · February 2015

My most memorable winning longshot will be tomorrow in the 5.45 Wolverhampton when my friend's Tom Hall
will hopefully defy his current odds of 25/1 and look radiant in the winning enclosure!

GELDY · February 2015

i think i once wrote a post on my mobile and it didn't time out and make me repeat it. Unfortunately i don't have proof that such a long shot actually happened. certainly didn't just now. hahaha well done skypoker my post failed the second time as well. Lucky i remembered to copy it before submitting this time.

i played my first ever poker tournament

somewhat the worst for wear

and it was a live event

yet somehow i binked it

Long shot story:

All in for tournament life and drawing basically dead at a local casino.

Hit the perfect-perfect that I needed to stay alive and double up (about 1080/1 I think).

Went on to make the final table from there and......

Lost heads up

Ice_Tiger · February 2015

Great Show So Far Guys!

Won a £30 pub game which won me entry into the £550 buy in English Open Deepstack, where I finished fourth for £10k.

DARK4NIGHT · February 2015

My most memorable long shot was a Rebuy Open last Xmas, double guarantees week, didn't fancy playing but had a flutter on the All-In satellites for 60p. Got into the main event first go, and with nearly 700 runners there was a huge prize pool. Eventually 6 hours later I finished third, my best finish in a main even now, for £960. 60p into £960 in one go. Memorable as its still my biggest win ever.

unknown_username · February 2015

Possibly not the most memorable, but definitely recent and fresh in my mind:

Scrolling through the new sky poker promotion "up your game" and saw the UKPC advertisement and decided to have a gander at how much it would cost to travel and stay there for the event, should i be lucky enough to qualify (never qualified for a live event online before).

After asking a question on the forums, replied to by Tikay himself, i decided to give it a pop at satelliting into the UKPC main event for pennies, and on my first go in a £5 direct to semi-final with one seat up for grabs, managed to bag it yesterday and then also won a seat to the final in that semi last night.

Now looking forward (and also bricking it) to sundays final which will be the largest buy-in tournament ive played in, which is also a satellite to an even bigger event, to date.

Just a recent "rolling the dice" story.

Good show so far guys, have a good night.

aussie09 · February 2015

last year, the wsop gave back $9,000 of the $10,000 entry fee only to the women in the ladies event. maybe the french should have done the same in their seniors tournament.

ps i understand that all the women went and bought new shoes,

Chris_Mc · February 2015

my mum had lady chaterlies(cant spell) lover on video......

my eyes are still burning.... was not worth it, having too fast fwd and rewind for the good bits,

Chris_Mc · February 2015

should i be foldong this....

(870,597,297) mc 25

GELDY · February 2015

now the lomg shot i'd like to see is:

not mattbates failing to win the 2015 leaderboard

neither man landing on mars

but TK & RO biggieing each other up on a show

just imagine

"wow, you won the 2.20 at 2:20 the 1st time you played it|"

"that's nothing, the way you destroy the 4-card game"

etc, etc

ok - let's stick to man landing on mars - the only one that is in the realm of possibility i guess.

TwoAnchors · February 2015

A couple of weeks ago Ross Jarvis pulled my name out of the hat for an £11 seat into the Tuesday main where I came 7th for £189. I immediately reinvested some of my winnings into that night's £55 bounty hunter and won it for around £700.

Not a bad longshot at all!

Cheers to Ross.

Donttelmum · February 2015

Ty for not commenting on my misclick min raise on my AK hand Tikay

Playing 16 tables has its downsides.

Looking forward to the UKPC and enjoying the show.

Run well,

James

cenachav · February 2015

Evening all.

The longest shot I ever had come in on the horses was way back on the 1993 Derby, when Tikay was about 60. I had a fiver each way on a horse called Blues traveller and it came in 3rd at 200/1 after what seemed the longest stewards enquiry ever!

Have a great rest of the show and run well

Ilera · February 2015

Hi guys. great show so far.

Is there any truth in the rumour that Tikay got suckered into watching 50 shades of grey when someone told him it was a comparison of concrete?

Also, what are Tikay's views on the result of the super bowl? Can carroll ever justify the play?

Andy / Ilera

Glenelg · February 2015

Evening Salt & Peppa..... Think hair.

Loving the show.....so far.

Not a personal long shot but Tikay will prob know the story of a guy who won enough cash on a verry lonng shot to buy a hotel near Skye. The horse was called Tingle Creek. The hotel is called the Tingle Creek Hotel!
