Meanwhile, get all your banter, questions, hand requests etc. to us either on this thread, via email skyopen@bskyb.com or via Twitter #skypoker


And here's our topic of the night...

MAKING POKER EVEN BETTER

I'm not talking about how you would improve Sky Poker- this is not an invitation for the moaners out there to bombard us with their woes! Besides, there are plenty of other outlets for that.

I'm talking about the game of poker, full stop. If you were made President of Poker, what changes would you implement to improve the game?

Would you change the format of the game? Would you introduce a ranking/seeding system? Would you tidy up the tournament circuit? Standardise the rules? Perhaps, it's a tiny change that you feel would make the world a better place. Banning shades?

The ball's in your court. Don't be tied down just by what I've mentioned. Really think about what you would really like to change and let us know.

Looking forward to your thoughts. I'll read them all out on the show throughout the night.

Good luck with that and the Turbo and see you Tuesday!

Oh, and news just in- we'll have a Last Longer comp in tonight's £4K Turbo. Full details at the top of the show tonight!

    And I promise not to mention West Brom beating Man U at Old Trafford.

    Much.

    Standardising the rules, even if it was just for No-Limit Hold'Em would be a good start. It's crazy that a multi-million dollar/pound industry has different rules for every place that you play, some of them so daft you'd be hard pushed to believe they weren't made up on the spot.

    I'd also make 4-colour decks compulsory in live play, and be a lot stricter about disqualifying players that abuse other players at the tables.

    Before I go giving away all my great ideas for free, let's talk money.

    What sort of remuneration package are we talking about for the position of "President of Poker"?

    I expect top dollar.

    Pension plan? Hours? Holidays?

    Liking it so far. Thanks guys.

    Borin- the position of President of Poker is an honour and the fact that you are even considering being renumerated for it speaks volumes about your integrity and tells us what kind of a man you are. I hope you feel utterly ashamed.

    In answer to your questions- top dollar, no pension plan, long hours, lots of working holidays around the world.

    Not that I asked for myself or anything. It was for a friend.

    Well you can take off those shades, for starters. And that hoody. Unless you're cold and you've got an aversion to light, get rid of them! You're obviously not a good poker player if you need those accessories anyway. And turn off that laptop or iPad or whatever it is you're looking at with that stupid grin on your face. I would also appreciate it if you took those headphones off your head as well - it's the height of rudeness. And why are you checking Facebook when I'm playing a hand with you? Aren't you interested that I have just raised your big blind? Oh, it's not Facebook, you say? You're actually playing Candy Crush? Well, that's much better. And one more thing: I don't want you doing any silly chip tricks while you're at my table either. It doesn't mean you actually know the difference between a straight and a flush. I'm not intimidated, so you can stop with the trash talk. I will still three-bet you pre flop with absolute air.

    Got it? Good.

    Is it possible to have a league situation.
    Say premiere league, Div1-4

    Players will be graded through a series of matches taking place over a month.

    These are 10 seater sit and goes .

    Then for the next 3 months run league matches(you can only take part in the division you qualify for.)

    At the end of the 3 month period champions are provided with their trophies.

    Then the winner of each division plays a sit and go for the Champion of champions which is televised!

    How about a team challenge in a Heads Up format?

    Honour doesn't pay the bills Rich and it's looking like a cold winter in the Loner household. I think your "friend" and I understand each other...

    Long hours, no pension, working holidays? Sell it Richard, sell it.


    As President of Poker I'd feel a responsibility to the wellbeing of all players. No longer would they be able to sit on their backsides for hours at a time: All card rooms would have an onsite gym and any player would be forced to exercise to play. For every minute of moderate exercise you'd be permitted to play three hands.

    I've yet to work out how to deal with the body odour issue.


    Online players would be forced to prove that they've been outside that day before playing. Photos of them with today's newspaper should be provided to the site before they can pull up to the table. Let's force the grinders out of their caves.

    It's good for the image of the game and good for the health of the player pool.


    So do I get commission on these ideas?


    Have a good show.

    Although 'lasting longer' in a turbo tournament is surely oxymoronic, I'm up for the challenge!

    What about Hold 'em Hi/Lo as a new variation?

    There's a joke to be made here. But I'm too decent and polite to make it.

    Yes, I think in not repeating the point in multiple posts we've both done a great job of not drawing too much attention to it and maintaining decorum at all times.

    Ah yes.  It'd just be silly and immature to keep bringing it up.
