TONIGHT Live on Channel 861 with Rich, Ross and special guest Simon Hemsworth ***official show threa

RICHORFORD

Greetings gang!

 

Your next live show?

 

Tonight aka...

 

TURBO TUESDAY!

 

7pm – Midnight Channel 861.

 

With your hosts:

Richard Orford and Ross Jarvis

We'll have full highlights from Sunday's Primo final table at 7pm and live action from the £4K Turbo Open main event from 8, plus coverage of the Mastercash tables.

Giving us his take on the action will be 6 max high-stakes cash game specialist poker pro...



Simon Hemsworth

 

Now, all banter, questions, hand requests, and the like will be gratefully received- either on this thread or via email or via Twitter #skypoker

 

And in the light of this fella...

Usain Bolt, the world record-holder, once more carving it up at the weekend I'd like to know what's....

Your personal world-records (poker or otherwise)

 

My poker ones are:
 
(1) Cashing in 16 Double Your Money SNGs in a row.

(2) Being the winner of the first ever SPT side event. :-)

And (3) taking down (not verified but I've yet to see someone post a bigger score) the highest return on investment in a timed tournament- 1226%

 

My non-poker one is possibly having chalked up the most live hours on TV in this country by anyone over the last 20 years. (Not definite, but definitely up there, if not)

So what's yours?

 

They don't have to be grand achievements or genuine records- just something you've done in poker or outside it that you're proud of.

 

Let's have it!

 

Get your thoughts down and see you tonight at 7!

Richard, you also hold the world record in amount of time feigning an interest in concrete, an astounding 30 seconds.  That surely is a record that will stand the test of time.

I was the original model for Ming the Merciless from Flash Gorden

Oh, and I once won 17 DYM's in a row

My record was as a 10 year old swimming 57 lengths of the school pool (Barnes high school Deolali India) in 59 minutes ,the equivalent of a mile.
I was in a Boarding school . My Dad was in the British Army at the time.

Did you see this great pic of Bolt just after winning the 100m with the lightening strike in the background.

Great shot!

The resemblance is uncanny, Mark. And there was me thinking you looked more like Dale (Dale from Flash Gordon, not Dale Winton. Although...)

My personal world record: played 22 games of chess in a simultaneous display when 10 years old. I won 20, drew 2. I was a beast of a chess player back in the day... :P

Have a fun show tonight!

I did a 5k swim (200 lengths)  for charity when I was 18.  Took me about 2.5 hours.  Never again.

Hey, joined Sky Poker today and playing the £4k turbo main event tonight, looking to take it down, watch out!

My weird record is I seem to make the final table of my first MTT whenever I join a new site.
