Tonight Live with Rich and Stu ***official show thread + competition***

Greetings poker people!
Long time no see! I haven't been in for a while due to illness- viral meningitis...or man-flu to give it the correct technical parlance.

But I'm 100% now and raring to go for another live show tonight starting at 7 on Channel 861 and streamed from this site. I think it's my 21,467th show or something- I'm sure someone out there has the exact figure!

So, on the billing we have myself, Richard Orford... 




And injecting some poker gravitas, thank goodness, into proceedings will be Stuart Rutter...




And here's your show:

7pm- Live Mastercash coverage

8pm-Analyse My Play – following the highs and lows from one of my cash sessions earlier this week!
9pm-TSP final coverage
10pm-Coverage of the Eliminator final at 9.30pm for a seat into Thursday's Charlotte Jackson £1,100 buy-in 6 max

11pm- Late-stage live coverage of the £10K Primo main event

Now, whilst I was ill- I managed to chuck up in a bucket which promptly got flushed down the toilet. Nice. The only trouble was that, unbeknown to me, my iPhone had been dropped in the aforementioned bucket earlier by my baby son!
Incredibly though, despite having being submerged in vomit and toilet water, 2 days later the phone was working perfectly!

So, my question this week is...


What's the worst thing you've done to something of yours, from which it lived to tell the tale?

So it could be a gadget or something that belongs to you. Or perhaps a family pet, or maybe a member of your family?! Was it your laptop during a particularly frustrating session of poker? 
Did you accidentally let the cat into the tumble dryer? Did you spill a pint of beer on your desktop pc? Did you drop your phone off the side of a building?

The important thing is- it must have survived! Or at the very least it must have been something spectacular that will make us laugh or gasp in amazement.

Get your anecdotes in to us and the best 6 will get freerolled into Tuesday night's mini event.

And of course, even if you don't win, I'll still read out your name and story to everyone else watching at home, so please do take part and share in the show.

Get in touch by using this thread, emailing skyopen@bskyb.com, or tweeting #skypokertv

Looking forward as ever to hearing from you all on this one and I'll see you at 7pm sharp.

    Rich,

    There have been A LOT of rumours that the reason you haven't been on the show for a while is that you are disgusted by the TSP board not giving you the TSP players managers spot, after all you have won an SPT side event! Are the rumours true?

    Matt, I am being advised to say that I cannot confirm at this time that I did a Tevez and refused to come off the bench due to a disagreement with the current manager i.e Tikay.

    A full press conference will follow, where I will deny everything...

    Well done Tommy D, btw.

    Hi Mark,

    Yeah, a stone in 24 hours, sounds about right. Throwing up when you have nothing in you to throw up is not one of life's more pleasant experiences, is it?

    Good story, btw. Insane. But good. What did you land on? Sounds like a miraculous escape from injury.

    Looks like your chip stack Rich...

    .. flat for a while, then a bit up and down but ultimately falling.

    Good to have you back Richard. There were some serious concerns for your health last week after Tikay said some very nice things about you. I had to rewind a couple of times to make sure I'd heard him correctly. It was pretty shocking.

    I'll cancel the whip-round for your family now that you're back, though.

    Have a good show.

    Thanks mate-in fact, it was Tikay's nice comments that caused my illness to get worse. Too much of a shock to the system. I assume he was after a cut of the inheritance or something. Although if he wishes to inherit my bankroll, he's more than welcome to it.

    Glad to have Mr Richard Orford back. Hope he fighting fit as always. 


    The worst thing ive ever done to anything and its lived to tell the tale. In my younger days i was known to have a temper. Much more under control now. However one day i had an arguement with a close friend and lost the plot. Instead of hitting him i repeated hit a doori n different ways for about 20 minutes. The door was basically a council flat livingroom door, made from a single pane of thin wood and cardboard. Embarrassingly turning around after id calmed down to sort things out with my mate who was in stiches as on of the worlds worst built doors had taken the beating of a lifetime and not even a scratch to show for it. 

    I still can't remember what our arguement was about. but everytime we see that door we have a good laugh at my expense. I suspect it was this that made me seek other forms of anger management.

    my last phone (cant remember what it was, a google phone of some sort), went in the bath with me 3 times and went through the washing machine twice, fair to say im abit clumbsy, everytime i just had to leave it to dry out for 10/12 hours or so and it was working again, only had one problem with it after and that was that the sound wouldnt come through anywhere near as loud as it was suppose to. was sad to see that phone go but in the end i had to catch up with everyone else and get an iphone (yes ok i wanted to play angry birds).

    What's the worst thing you've done to something of yours, from which it lived to tell the tale?


    this is a story of my brain letting me down ...


    i used to play for fun in a darts team.

    i thought it would be a laugh to pretend to stab a friend in the shoulder with my dart

    in planning, i knew that the more extravagant the lunge the more of a laugh it would be

    of course, i didn't want to hurt my friend so had an additional element to my plan

    i would hold the dart as normal but place the point of the dart against my little finger thereby cushioning the blow

    my friend didn't see the wild lunge, he felt only a nudge on his shoulder, and turned to ask, "what?"

    the dart took a wee while to take out of my little finger.

    Worst thing I did to something of mine and It lived to tell the tale - Gave my boyfriend food poisioning! I was pretty young at the time and was certainly no Nigella. We arrived home In the early hours from a totally liquid night out and he fancied a pork chop. Having never cooked one before, I flash fried It to a lovely golden brown stuck It In a sandwhich and left my pie -eyed boyfriend to It while I hit the sack. Unfortunately, later, we were on our way to A&E In a taxi with my boyfriend rolling about on the back seat holding his stomach. The poisioning was only mild and I prefer to think It was all the booze he necked rather than my cuisine!   Have a good show both. Glad you're well again Rich

    Hi Rich, got home from work one Wednesday night,It was an England World Cup Qualifier. Jumped in the bath and sat down and switched the TV on .  A message appeared on screen. "Please insert your viewing card".  Strange i thought. I went to my skybox and the card was not there.  I asked the then wife, whats happened to the sky card ?. Agh she replied, as she gave me the card which was now in 2 pieces. My 2 and 1/2 year old lad had taken it out and bent it till it snapped. The game kicked off in 5 minutes time. I thought GREAT but proceeded to stick said 2 pieces back together with tape.To my amazement when i put the card back in the slot,the TV burst into action. Whoever invented sellotape THANK YOU THANK YOU.
      Hope you have agreat show as always.
