****Live Show Thread - Thursday 2nd October****

Well Hello again... I was only here last Thursday but I'm back, mainly because I don't want to lose face this week when you lot try to come and get me at the Master Cash tables!! Yes, I will be playing again LIVE on the show, so take that as an invite to join me ;)

And my partner in crime will be none other than everyone's favourite Vegas lap dance participant, RyRy!
And no... that joke will never become old...

Tonight we will also be giving away a couple of seats to Tuesday's Turbo Open, which thanks to Sky Poker Prize Boosts, has been given an extra £2k guarantee, from £5k to £7k. That means I will definitely be seeing you at the felt that night with such great value on offer!

All you need to do to win one of these is finish this sentence:
"Poker is not just a game of cards because......."

For me, poker has been a huge part of my life the last four years, so I could go on forever answering that one, but I'll leave it until the show for mine.
The best responses will win a seat, so make sure you can play on Tuesday!

Ways to get in contact:
Email: skyopen@bskyb.com
Tweet: #Skypokertv (follow us @skypoker)
Here on the forum

The show is looking to shape up like this:

7pm - 8pm - Tonight on Sky Poker - Live Master Cash Action

8pm - 9pm - Top of the Pots - Countdown of the 10 biggest master cash hands of the week

9pm - 10pm - Sky Poker School - "Satellite Strategy" to help you lot (and me) win a £3500 all inclusive package to Punta Cana!

10pm - 11pm - Master Cash - More live action and this time you can come and get me as I play live too!

11pm - Midnight - Sky Poker Highlights - Final stages of the £15k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter (bumped up by £5k thanks again to Sky Poker Prize Boosts)

Don't forget as always to let us know if you've been playing any mastercash, s&g's or tournaments on the go on the new app and send any other thoughts, questions, anecdotes, love letters and whatnot to Ryan and myself. 

Until then....


(that's a horse, not a donkey... because none of you are those...)

    sorry for the essay..probs just aloud of bull but this is how i think ha
    Poker is not just a game of cards because
    Over a large enough sample it's all skill. over ONE instance though...

    -over one PFAI hand it's something like 75% luck.
    -Over one average cash hand it can be anywhere between 30 and 60% luck, depending on how thinly you play and your skill gap to your villains (a solid, nitty 19/17 TAG at a table full of fish might rely as little as 20% per hand on luck).
    -over one STT it's probably 50-60%-ish luck.
    -over one MTT it's seriously something like 90% luck or more, which is why I hate MTTs. You just cannot avoid being all-in preflop a dozen times over the course of a tourney, and the odds of winning ALL those flips (or even just enough to stay alive) are massively stacked against you.

    one day i will get to the of this rainbow and take that pot of gold :) 
    good luck have a great show

    Hi Both have a great show as you two always do. You ignore the lap dancer Jibes Ryan it will soon die down in another 50 years or so.

       Have a Great Show Laura & Ryan,


        "Poker is not just a game of cards because......."

      You get to make new friends, meet up at live Events such as SPT, UKPC which are always good fun & you get to bink some cash from time to time.

      "Poker is not just a game of cards because......."
    ... Poker gives you the opportunity to change your life. Other games give you the chance to improve your skills and socialise with other like-minded people from the comfort of your own home. Poker gives you that and more. Poker gives you the chance to improve in a game of skill to such a high level, that you could win big, follow your dreams and travel the world playing against the best.

    Poker is not just a game of cards, but, like life, you will be much better at it if you remember to have fun doing it

     How else for a "Punta Can a" dream become reality?



    Love the show, especially Richard Orford.

    about that 55, it was taking into account that i was playing pokey that i attempted the bluff.
    the flop was also done to defend from AK KQ.

    when he called and the Q hits i got worried he hits a set with QQ and it does allow free cards to other middle or high pairs and as for the river i mimiced a stone cold bet
