    Good afternoon Mr Jarvis(NEXT £2.20 @2.20 CHAMPION)
    Good afternoon Mr Sykes(POTENTIAL £2.20 @2.20 CHAMPION.)
    First of all a big thank you to Mr Jarvis for taking time to play in the £2.20 @2.0 DEEPSTACK.
    I would consider it a great honour if Mr sykes could find the time to participate in the £2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK ON 4TH JUNE.
    Mr Orford use your magic persuasion  skills.

    Afternoon gentleman, and you too Richard.  

    There are so many people who are worthy going heads up with me for the WSOP main.  Channing, Ivey, Razavi and Maxally spring to mind but if I had to choose one person it would have to be Rainman397.  It would be an honour and a privilage to pit my wits against the master of the £2.20 at 2.20.  The rail for that would be amazing too!  If Dustin can't make it then it would have to be my girlfriend, Ineke.  That way we can take home first and second place prize money!   

    Run well and have fun everyone

    Have a great show guys! 

    I would also love to play HU v Danny Negranu. It's refreshing to see a professional poker player look to have fun, that's why we all love the game after all! And I'm sure he would still give me an autograph once I'd luck boxed my way to victory!

    A question for Ross. I'm an MTT player that has this year moved over to cash and is looking to move up levels. I stard at 4nl and I'm now at 10nl and I've managed to make good progress so far. I play about 15 or so hours a week. What would you consider a good buyin profit to be per month? Obviously building my BR to move up is necessary but I want to make sure I'm doing well enough at one level to then move up. Thanks.

    Good afternoon/evening to the R&R dream team (i started it, don't listen to that lot who jumped on the suck up bandwagon) Also welcome to Jamie

    My heads up opponent would be you Rich. As a player who has many min cashes in Mains/Minis and a fellow player who has taken down the £2.20 @ 2.20pm deepstack, I feel we would have an awful lot of experiences to share with each other. Completely ignoring the fact we are playing for big money. Good to rail you last night and i went on to ft the mini. :-)

    Have a Mastercash hand request again if it isn't a problem ...  #765720610

    Q - Is this the correct way to play against these kind of players? Never really managed these situations in the past very well. Obviously the river was unkind but given 17:1 odds i don't think i can fold

    Hey Rich

    If i could play anyone Heads Up in the wsop, it would be you of course!

    Naturally you would most likely win, but i would be able to say i lost to the great Rich Orford.

    It would be epic and legendary, and i'm sure everyone would here the epic tail main hundreds of times in the forthcoming months.

    If you did win, also, you might have to change your name to Richer Orford:)

    Edit ; i think this post deserves a prize

    Edit 2, nothing 2 big like, WSOP seat would be fine

    Back again like a renegade master! 

    Tuesdays show was great fun, hoping we can go even better tonight with the addition of Mr Sykes. I think you'll all like him and he's a top, top player so fire your questions over. 

    Good luck online everyone!

    Ok on Tuesday master cash 3 782395078
    I play several tables at once usually, and when he bet out on the river auto called the bet, and felt dirty, is this just too weak? do I lose value here in the long run, obvipusly occasionaly I could be behind. It's the long term what matters. Being wrong this time does not make it wrong, just as being right does not make it right.

    Forgot to answer the question.
    Heads up for the WSOP title
    Well obviously Rich as I would like to win.
    But as the chances of Rich getting there is so remote this is a real dream.
     So more realistically lets go for Doyle Brunson who else.

    Evening guys, looking forward to playing and watching the show later.

    Q's for Jamie:- what are the most common mistakes/missteps that are repeatedly made by the weaker regs in the midstakes cash games he plays?

    Is table selection still key even when you are one of the better regs or does he happily play anyone?

    Is there more money in cash or MTT poker nowadays  or is it best to combine the two??

    Cheers, have a great show!!

    Good evening Mr Orford(£2.20 @2.20 deepstack champion)
                        Mr Jarvis(£2.20 @2.20 deepstack champion to be)
                        Mr Sykes(potential £2.20 @2.20 deepstack champion).
    Would it be possible to ask Mr Bill Maynard If he is available to play in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack on the 4th June.
    It would be an honour to have such a famous celebrity take part.
    I remember him as Selwyn Froggit.
    All the best
    Rainman397
    p.s Did you know Mr Maynard got his Surname from Maynards wine gums

    Hi Rich and guests.

    Would have to play someone i could beat. Maybe my daughter who decided in a house game when her boyfriend, Tom, was TRYING to teach her how to play poker to throw away a pair of aces as they were 'low'...mmmm..Tom has his work cut out!

    Think it would be someone who would be happy to chat afterwards so Negreanau fits the bill but ithink hed be most eoples no 1. How about the likes of The Shak who always seems a personable guy.

    Q for Ross:

    I read articles in Poker Player mag when you were trying to hold your own in MTT's and receiving some 'tuition'. what would you say was the defining piece of the puzzle poker-wise that enabed you to start holding your own? For instance, realising the range of plays you are able to make for various stack sizes....that sort of stuff.

    The dream team?  More like the chuckle brothers.  Mind you, Richard is like one of the chuckle brothers when he plays poker.  It's always too you, too you with his chips :)
