Hi Everyone!
I'm looking forward to tonight's live show with Joe 'Stapes' Stapleton and Sky Poker Pro Julian Thew who'll be with us from 8pm.
Competition Time - Fact or Fiction
We want you guys to think up some facts or fiction about Julian to quiz Stapes on and vice versa. For eg. I would say to Joe 'Julian has a holiday home on the moon', to which Joe would say 'Fiction'. Or I would say ' Joe commentates on the EPT' to which Julian should say 'Fact'.
Make sure you write at the end whether it is fact or fiction!

If you can stump Joe or Julian and either gets it wrong, then we will put you in a draw and at the end of the show, we will give 3 players entry into next Tuesday's Turbo. So get imaginative!

We are also welcoming any poker questions or hand analysis, so drop them here on the forum or using twitter #SkyPokerTV

Here's tonight's schedule:

7pm-8pm – Tonight on Sky Poker – 20K Super Roller final table from Sunday 19th
January

8pm-9pm – Ask the Expert – Final table highlights from the 5K Turbo Open (Tuesday 21st Jan) plus live action from the Master Cash tables. 

9pm-10pm – Top of the Pots – Top 10 biggest pots of the week from the Master Cash tables

10pm-11pm – Master Cash – Live Master Cash coverage

11pm-12pm – Sky Poker Highlights  – Highlights from the late stages of the £12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter

Good Luck at the Felt!

    Evening Laura.  Have a great show.  I take it you have been briefed about Joe and have the normal mace and stun gun by your side just incase?

    My fact or fiction for Joe.  Julian won the GUPKT Coventry in 2011 on his 44th birthday  This is of course a fact although you would not think that Julian is that old just by looking at him!

    Good luck all and run well

    Hi Laura - hope you have a fantastic show. It's good to see that Joe's contract wasn't intrinsically linked to that of Mr. Recently Departed Hartigan ;)

    Now, questions for the boys:

    Joe - In 2009 Julian lost a prop bet with fellow poker professional, Sam Razzavi, and was forced to dress like Woody from Toy Story at the next live event they both attended (photos of which are available online).

    Julian - In 2010 Joe brought his charming brand of misogyny and chauvanism to the Apollo Theater, in New York, when he was the warm-up act for Jerry Seinfeld. Alas, he was not asked to return.

    I'm sure they can tell you if they are fact or fiction ;)

    Julian - I look forward to seeing you on the felt at the UKPC.

    Brian

    Stapes once suffered severe skin damage after an incident involving sand-paper.

    That's friction.

    Hi all,

    Always good to see Julian on the show.... and that Stapes bloke. It's also the first Laura show I've watched so welcome!

    Fact or Fiction....

    Julian Thew has already won 2 Sky poker MEs in 2014

    Fiction

    Also, here's a hand from Mastercash 4 if you wanna show it :)

    Hand History #736305156 (21:41 23/01/2014)Once I've 4bet and he peels I expect him to have a lot of big PPs in his range as well as AK which is chopping a the odd weaker Ax, so do you think this is a good flop to checkback so he feels more comfortable about his JJ-KK cos I'm either behind to AA or have a very slim chance of being outdrawn

    Question for Mr Thew.  Stapes favourite starting hand is 42 because his favourite online bet size is 420 and his favourite time of day is 4.20.

    The answer is of course, false

    Good evening Laura and the fellas. Hope you're all well.


    Question for Julian: Stapes once lost a $500 bet on a game of Buckaroo?


    I just made that up. Hope it's true, though.

    Have a bonny night.
