I'm loving how comfortable Neil is looking on the sofa tonight...
I've always wondered why people seem so reluctant to make themselves at home. It's a five hour show and you're sat on a sofa - I'd have my feet up with a pillow and maybe a duvet and half way through I'd have my dinner on my lap.
Anyway, I'd just like to pick up on something Neil just said about Rastafish's 67 of spades hand, calling in the small blind against Rob Yong:
I post on the forum quite alot. I find that even some of the better players don't seem to give enough credit to the importance of position. They know that position is important but still make calls out of position very much like that one from Rastafish - the idea being that they can flop a big hand and stack their opponent - but they don't consider that their opponent's pre-flop raising range may not be very narrow so they can't stack them often enough. Even if they hit their hand, it's really difficult to get value out of position.
In a slightly circuitous manner, the question I'm asking is; do you gents think that, as I hear so often, "pre-flop play is largely solved" amongst most decent players?
Thanks for all your posts and emails tonight. They were all great. And normally I would have read out every single one of them, but we had in Neil Channing! Which meant that I could only fit in so many questions amongst the hands because he talks so much!
Of course Neil and Reds were both fantastic on the show this evening and I hope you enjoyed the questions they did answer!
thank you richard for the free mini bh entry..............i think that was one of the best shows i have seen on 861..............very intresting and funny
ty Richard for my free entry to the bounty hunter on Thursday. I sat here for 5 hours and felt that what I learned listening to the chat was time well spent. the whole show was great, look forward to neil and Redmond giving advice again.
As for the show last night I thought it was a really special one.
In fact, it's a real shame it was up against a big England game because I think a lot of people would have therefore missed out on a 5 hour masterclass in how to play live poker with two of the best in the business.
It was a one-off format, totally different from the norm with only one hand from the site shown all night(!) and also included exclusive brand new Sky Poker interviews with Jesse May, Phil Laak and Phil Hellmuth from the weekend!
If you get a chance I would urge anyone who missed it to catch a rerun. You won't be disappointed.
I couldn't catch it all (or record it due to clashes) but what I did see was SUPERB! Will definitely be recording the first re-run on Sat 30th at 19:00
Thank you for all the kind words and contribution's to the show last night.
It was a real pleasure having Neil on the show and is always a privilege to be able to ask questions and learn from someone who I hugely respect, not just for his poker abilities, but as a person.
Really enjoyed it and also a big thank you to Richard and Neil for such a great evening!
