Tuesday Night Live on Sky Poker TV with Rich and Ross (and the Last Longer Competition)

After a brief hiatus- get well soon Anna- we're back with another live show this Tuesday night on Sky Poker TV!

Returning to your screens- for some more R & R- it's Rich and Ross!






And here's the plan as it stands...

 

 

7pm- Final table coverage of Sunday's £20K Summer Roller Main Event. 8pm- Live action from the start of the £5K Turbo Open main event.
 9pm– Live coverage from a Sky Poker sit n' go from beginning to end (we'll pick a random one one tonight- sit on one with a TV icon and it could be yours!)
 10pm - Live Master Cash action
11pm-  Live action and probably a winner from the late stages of the £5K Turbo Open


Yes, play in the £5K GTD Main Event this Tuesday night and have the added experience of watching the other tables play out on telly, and perhaps even your own.

If you send us a hand i.d. number and we like it- we'll show it. It has to be one of the TV tables though- so if it's in the main make sure you get it into us early in the second hour and if it's cash, look out for it from 10pm. Oh, and for best results make sure it's one that has a good talking point to it.

 

Fire in all your usual banter/questions/hand requests into us either on this thread, via email skyopen@bskyb.com or via Twitter #skypoker

 

And don't forget the Last Longer competition! Playing in the main event? Tell us on this thread that you want in on the last longer and the player that goes deepest out of those who enter will win a UKPC semi seat for tomorrow night (worth £48). Note that this prize is non-transferable, so if you can't play the prize then don't play the competition! 


                 -----------------------------------------------------

                                      
                                     


So, as promised on our last show together, this week Ross and I attempt to come up with the four most iconic poker players, to create our very own...


Poker Mount Rushmore


You can take this as seriously as you wish- but who do you think are the four faces which would best sum up the whole history of poker?

 

I think I'd probably go

Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan

 

If I was going to stick a extra 5th face on there for comedy though- I'd go Tikay. Probably before Doyle Brunson to represent an even more bygone era. Plus of course, not much sculpting required as he already has a craggy old face. Bonus.

Your own suggestions please!

 

Look forward to your answers and see you Tuesday night at 7 for five hours of pokertainment!

    This is a completely self indulgent post but also makes sense in my opinion, wouldnt it be best to show the UKPC sitngo final at 9pm considering it was meant to be shown sunday and as i was playing i can tell you in contained a lot of good hands as well.

    Hi Jordz, there's every chance it might be shown. I haven't received the final running order from the production team yet so watch this space, as they say.

    Yeah, it's a decent show thread... I suppose...

    After the 'success' of my effort on Sunday, I might start up a rival thread in the style of Channel 4's alternative Queen's speech... Probably won't bother, though. I'm quite lazy.


    They say variety is the spice of life. Sky Poker TV hasn't been very spicy lately. Maybe you guys should change things up a bit for this show. How do you feel about gorilla suits?


    Have a great show chaps.

    Thanks Borin and lol at the alternative thread at the weekend!

    Must have taken you ages to write all that.

    Then again, thanks to the wonderful function of 'Copy and Paste (and then vandalise) Orford's epic masterpieces', it might have taken you no more than a couple of minutes. Hard to tell.

    Nice work though. Made me laugh :-)

    Oooo, just realised I've broken the 5000 post barrier.

    At least two of those were quite good as well. I'd skip the rest.

    Funny you should say it was similar to one of yours - I was going for banal. I struggled to fill it out with inane drivel, but I was quite pleased with Pinkmond Lee. Channelling my inner Orford, obviously. :-D

    Only kidding, of course. Your threads are always very good.


    Do you get a cake for 5000 forum posts?

    OK, Mount Rushmore of Poker.

    Doyle is a given - simply a legend
    Stu Unger sounds like a decent choice two, something to represent the seedy side of the game's history

    Now here's where it gets different

    Phil Hellmuth - love him, hate him, you can't ignore 13 bracelets, 49 final tables and 101 cashes at the WSOP.
    and finally Vanessa Selbst to represent the modern era - potentially the best tournament player around today

    and yes that does mean leaving out Phil Ivey AND Ross Jarvis. Controversial or what?

    Great show!!!! Well will be anyway with the dynamic duo.

    Last longer pls.

    Mount rushmore.....

    Dan negraneu - one of the best personalites and a fantastic reader of the game and such a happy person on and of the felt. 
    Phil hellmuth -  another great player and again a diffrent personality too the game all   together.
    dwyte pilgrem- just a player I love too watch very entertaining and cocky at the table but a difffent person alltogether off the table ( check my daily link love this guy)
    Phil ivey- well no need to explain why his face would be there.

    Shame theres only 4 id have so many more.......
    I know ive went for some common names  but it is the mount rushmore and these guys are the kings of the game, also based on the diffrent personalites of these players,  what a life it would be.

    Good afternoon  Mr Orford(current £2.20 @2.20 deepstack champion)
    Good afternoon mr Jarvis(next £2.20 @2.20 deepstack champion)
    Would it be possible to thank everyone for helping promote this tournament. And Mr Orford i would really appreciate your joining this tournament, as without you would be like Brasil not being in the World CUP.
    All the best

     P.s Any news on Mrs Fowler, hope she is on the mend.

    Hello chaps! 

    Round 3 tonight! Looking forward to it as always. Good show topic too - even if it was my idea... - I'll have a good think before 7pm on my picks. 

    Oooh, one bit of bad news, specifically for Rainman397. I now can't play the £2.20 deepstack tomorrow as I've scheduled an interview for that same time which i can't get out of! Sorry about that - I'll make sure to get involved when I'm back from Vegas!

    Good afternoon Mr Jarvis.
    Sorry to hear you cannot play tomorrow, but i do understand. Would it be possible to badger Mr Orford to take your
    place.
    All the best
