TURBO Tuesday Show Thread

Good morning!

In keeping with the TURBO TUESDAY theme, on tonight's Show, we shall talk extra fast, & I'm typing this at 300wpm. For best effect, read it quickly please. 

First up, once again I have been entrusted with working alongside a new Presenter this evening, Mr Yannis Morgan.

New? Yes. Well no, not exactly.

Those of you who have watched the Show since we first went to air in 2007 (wow, SIX years ago!) may remember Yannis, he appeared most nights when we were in the "Green Studio", & did Leaderboard Updates & suchlike.

Anyway, he is back now, & I hope you will give him a typical Sy Poker Community warm welcome, as you did with Jules recently.

He's a dashing looking young man, too, oh-so-handsome. Viewed in a particular light, some might say he is better-looking than me.
 
What you reckon? Deffo a step up from that Orford fella.

    8pm - 9pm - ASK THE EXPERT

    Unfortunately, we don't have an expert this evening, unless you want to discuss the merits of reinforced concrete, or the state of the PW on the rail network.
     
    However, send your hands in, & we'll discuss them, & maybe we can spot a little leak which could help your game.

    The hands will be like Mr R Turpin - masked - & remember we need the Hand ID's, & they need to be from a Table with a TV Icon.
     
    You can either.....

    Post them on this thread, or.....

    Send them via e-Mail to skyopen@bskyb.com

    We have had a bit of chuntering that we don't show enough hands - well if you send them in, we will try & show them.

    9pm - 10pm - Sky Poker School

    Tonight's specialist subject is playing multi-way pots in cash.

    Remember, this does not have to be Hold Em, we can discuss Omaha cash hands too.

    As an example, here's a question for you.

    We are playing Omaha cash, it has been raised up, but we think the pot is going to be 5 way pre-flop, as we are pretty sure none of the others will fold to a Raise from us.

    We have bad aces - A-A-9-4, rainbow.

    Can, or should, we find a fold?

    10pm - 11pm - Sky Poker Highlights

    Coverage of the late stages, & hopefully the end, of tonight's £5,000 Guaranteed Turbo Open.

    This plays pretty rapid, so there should be plenty of crash-bang wallop, "how could he call?" stuff.

    11pm - Midnight - Speed Mastercash

    Coverage of as many hands from the MasterCash Tables as we can manage.

    Less waffleage, more showhandsage.

    We will try to get round as many of the MasterCash Tables as we can, so if you want a bit of TV coverage, get sat down on one of them.

    Don't forget,11pm-Midnight is HAPPY HOUR time, too, & with the end of the month hoving into view, a good chance to try & get some more cash 4 points in the kitty. It is a short month this month, so every little helps.

    Tonight's Quiz.

    We will give away a bunch of Mini Open seats, & maybe a few sests to the BIG £5k Freeroll for the best entries.

    There are two questions, you must answer BOTH of them......

    Q1 - What Sky Poker Promotion do you most like, or enjoy? I just mentioned Cash4Points, but there are plenty more - for a reminder, see     HERE    

    Q2 - Which PREVIOUS Sky Poker Promotion did you most enjoy, & would like to see repeated?


    PS - Anyone who answers "TKO", when I had to do battle, alongside my team of Sky Poker players, with Rich Orford, gets a point deducted.

    Coversage of the key hands from Sunday Night's PRIMO Final Table.

    Oh, the mini primo getting some coverage then? Or did you actually mean the Roller FT?

    Q1. TKO
    Q2. TKO

    Hope Yannis has a good show tonight and keeps you in check Tikay.

    Could you please squeeze in an information bulletin about the next SPT's. Oh, and plug away the community night thingy tomorrow night. While you are at it, dont forget the DTD night. Any chance you could make me a coffee too???  :)

    PS....Does the show start at 7am or 7pm?

    hi guys.
    this is a hand request from a master cash table i was watching the other day.
    i am fairly new to poker and still struggle a bit with pot odds.
    my questions are.
    is the price of the flop raise too high to call with only 8 outs? and if it had missed should we then be calling the turn bet?

    hand id 625468920  master cash 7 23/2/2013

    thank you

    1. The new player freeroll, it's a great way to get new players into the game, and if they do cash it gives them some money to play with.
    2. Kings of cash, a nice little fun comp for cash players.

    First of all a big welcome to Carlo's youngest son.  

    A hand for ask the expert, 626456006 from the mini BH last night.  I have been trying to tighten up my opening range recently and want to know if I made the right decision long term on the flop.  I assumed I wasn't ahead but I knew I did have outs.

    For the Omaha hand, easy fold pre multiway.  A-A-9-4 plays very badly as it can't improve easily.  Unless the other two aces come out you can't get the nut hand and, in multi way pots, Omaha is all about getting the nuts.

    My favourite promotion at the moment is the £5000 big freeroll.  I've already qualified for it next month, twice.  The second time I qualified I got the entrance fee instead.  My favourite former promotion was when you could win our very own Tikay for the night as your mentor.  

    Oh, and if you are getting Maxally a coffee, mine is white with two sugars please.

    Good luck to everyone out there and remember to have fun out there

    Hi Tikay.
    Hope you have a great show.

    I see from the picture below, you have already been offering advice to "Yiannis" in the make-up department. I havent yet figured out if thats his own hair or yours :) A great likeness to yours though, so the make-up department have done a great job :)





    ps. The correct spelling of his name is.... "YIANNIS" and not YANNIS btw - although I presume the pronunciation is the same?

    Good afternoon Gentlemen.

    Thanks for pointing  the errors in my OP. If there is one thing we can rely on in life......

    We shall be covering action from the Final Table of the SUPER ROLLER, not PRIMO.

    And I look forward to working with YIANNIS. No idea who that Yannis fella is. ;)

    Apologies.

    The Sky Poker Channel is Channel 861 on the Sky Platform.

    We have three x 5 Hour Live Shows each week, being Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday. The rest of the output is repeat Shows & archive material.

    You can contact the Show with messages or requests for poker advice @ skyopen@bskyb.com

    Q1. Does the Monday night DTD's count as a promotion? If so this would be my choice.
          It always seems to be where new players are directed to start playing MTT's.

    Q2. I liked the old "survivor" series , worth re-introducing with a bigger prize on the end :-)
