Hey you lot!

Your live show is coming up from 7pm til midnight tonight, and there'll be a mix of cash and tourneys on the show. I got excited at the thought of another ladies night on 861 as us two Brighton girls get to have fun on the Sky Poker sofa tonight, yep, it's me and the amazingly knowledgable and lovely Jen Mason!


Then I found out that our girls night was being gatecrashed by this bearded villain:


Yes... that is the superb poker blogger, writer and player, Gareth Chantler. He may or may not be sporting his beard tonight. You'll have to wait until later to find out. It's gonna be a fun show! SO, get your questions in for Gareth and Jen, any hand IDs, general poker chat and ramblings all welcome, and we will be giving away a few free seats to the Turbo Open to our fave contributions. 

I had the weirdest dream last night... I always have weird, really vivid dreams, and they often turn out to be nightmares. Last night I dreamt that I was at an extreme water park where there were sharks and crocs in all the pools at the bottom of the slides, inevitably sliding to your death. And to make matters worse, I decided to take my watch off before sliding down and ended up losing my watch before the slide to death. Tragic. I have a weird brain. So make me feel more normal and share your actual dreams you've had about poker...

Tell us your weird and wonderful poker dreams...

See you at 7 poker lovers!

    Well by far and away the weirdest poker dream I ever had (and I have had several) must have been the time that I dreamt that I was running deep in a bounty hunter tournament when my wife had suddenly went into labour. 

    I remember looking at how many runners were left and saw that there was 18. I asked the wife is she could wait another hour or so and she started screaming at me. But the very next hand I took another bounty but instead of me getting money, I had a pop up telling me that I had won a 24 pack of nappies and the wife started to get really excited. 

    She started to egg me on to carry on playing. So the next thing I remember is both us sitting in the back of an ambulance with her puffing and panting and me with my laptop. When we got to the hospital, I needed the charger, so I goes out the back door of the hospital and climbed over a wall and that was the last thing I remembered.

    I don't know if I won the tourney, I don't know if I had a boy, girl or portion of egg fried rice.

    Very, very odd.

    Hi guys!

    Absolutely delighted to win the Team Sky Poker tournament promotion this week!

    Really looking forward to representing Sky Poker at the UKPC, and thanks again to all involved at Sky, for coming up with yet another, wonderful promotion!

    Could you also give a shout out to all those who have supported the Tournament Leader Board charity initiative that I set up at the start of the year.

    So far a staggering £1,885 has been pledged!

    Would be great if we could get to £2,000 by the end of the month. New competitors have just two days left to enter.

    See the thread on Poker Chat or message StayOrGo for more info.

    Cheers,

    Graham

    P.S. Hope to see you at DTD again Jen, we had a nice chat in the "food" queue at one of the SPT/UKPC events a year or two ago. I don't expect you to remember :=) (Lovely Lady and great Ambassador for the game)

    Hi all. My dream that happened only a few nights ago was that I was sat at my local casino totally naked. The bloke on my left folded and said to me "You must have a big hand"! Thank you I replied.

    Hi, the guy who mentioned about playing slow in the Turbo Open on Tuesday.

    I finished 2nd in the same tournament and was on his table for a while.

    It didn't bother me at all, from an etiquette perspective, but he did himself no favours.

    In addition to the points you guys made, it was also quite clear he was always going to fold his blinds, and if he did call pre flop, he would nearly always face a continuation bet, as everyone knew it was highly likely he would fold.

    So like you say, unless he needed to ladder to pay his rent, go for the win!

    For me personally, unless it is a massive prize pool. I just go for the win all the time. This way people can't use bubble fear or ICM  consideration to my disadvantage, and I can exploit their "fear of getting knocked out."

    However at other stages of my "poker life", if my bankroll was not great, I have fallen into this trap. So I understand where he is coming from.

    Cheers,

    Graham

    Good evening, I recently played through a hand with friends to get their thoughts on what was the correct play, I would appreciate it if you guys/girls could give me your analysis. I will fast track it as much as possible. You have the second nut flush post flop, the board isn't paired so not too much to worry about, the first guy bets half pot, the second guy shoves for his remaining £22.50, then it was on me. The board was A,3,10, to just call and then re-evaluate was probably the best decision however I wanted to attempt to isolate the all in player so I shoved my £55 over the top. The guy unfortunately called cause he had a decent Ace, the other guy had a smaller flush, the spade never came. Was just wondering if I should have folded on the flop? I believe it's roughly 33.3% chance of hitting the flush but if I called the £22.50 I would be forced to call on the river. Any advice would be appreciated.

    evening all great show.

    i'm beginning to think that spending so long in the hous bored can be a bad time to play poker. during the last couple of days i've started going out and when i return back home, i start feeling nice and relaxed, and my poker game feels much calmer.

    What i'm thinking of doing now is go on a small walk more frequently inbetween my poker sessions.


    hand request from master cash 22

    866978950

    Q. having been played the way it has, can i make the fold or would it be too tight?

    also could i also ask, should i be making larger bets on the flop and turn to avoid myself getting into this spot in the first place?

    Sorry Jules, Jen and Mr Chantler but I missed almost the entire show.

    I'll catch it on a repeat but I just need to say - Excellent beard. Well done.
