So on tonight's show, we've got a bit of a Jules sandwich! It's me, and Mr Julian Thew, with Karl Mahrenholz squidged up in the middle. We have no set structure to tonight's show at the moment, so it'll be a fun 5 hours of poker and chat with our two amazing poker pros. 

We'll be here at the usual time 7pm til midnight and one thing we definitely know is that we will be showing hands from tonight's main event, the £6,000 Turbo Open! It's only £11 to buy in so I know loads of you will be involved tonight, but don't forget satellites are running all day for you to get in for under £3. Goodluck!

As always, we'll also have some prizes/free seats to give away on the live show.. I'll confirm these later on. ALL contributions will be entered into the draw, so get your emails, posts, tweets, questions, hand id's, random chit chat in now!

And it's February. ACTUAL February. Where did January go????!!!!!! Good news is it's the month of the UKPC (21 days to go), woop! And it's also the month of LOVE (Valentines Day in 11 days time people). SO let's keep it simple tonight, answers on a postcard please:

What do you LOVE about poker?

    I love most things about poker, 

    i love playing learning and of course the feeling of making a FT!!!

    i love the forum and the people i meet, im now in so may groups on facebook with people ive never met sharing stories of hands and live games and of course following the big tournaments.

    i love the fact that one day, even though i play small stakes most times, that one day that could be me one of these massive events, through a satalite e.g the UKPC £1,000,000 (im not though) but the possabilites are endless.

    i love sitting at a table with 9 random people and let the conversation take off, the feeling of the cards snapping in my hand, the sounds of everyones chips in the room looking at the players left and the preizepool sizing up everyones stacks, 

    pure and simple i just love playin, it is my favoutite hobby and passtime,

    i love the fact im playing in the turbo tonight for free, from winning a seat.

    and i  love skypoker, ok your software needs looked at but the forum and live shows the guests on the show and presenters are 2nd to none,

    keep it up sky!

    I love the community on Sky Poker.

    I think most people are aware now, of the charity competition that I set up at the start of the year.

    Well, thanks to the fantastic Sky Poker community, £2,130 has already been pledged, to a whole host of wonderful charities.

    Many thanks again for all the support with this initiative.

    Cheers Graham (StayOrGo)

    A thing I love about poker is the discussions around particular hands, other than a few instances like DYM bubble spots or late stages in MTT there is more than 1 potentially optimal way to play a hand, and different viewpoints can be equally as valid.

    Also the sky poker community, lots of friendly people around and already know some friends for life. Have great support on my diary too.

    Look forward to show.

    Great Show So Far Guys!

    I have always enjoyed playing sport & love the competitive element of it. However, age has meant that there are few physical pursuits for me to use my competitive spirit on so poker fits the bill perfectly. You can train to get better and play lots of different people. It is a great game to compete at & a great way to make friends.

    Have a  great show, the things i love about poker is that you can play any way you like and win pots regardless of hands. I also love that at the low stakes that i play, i can send somebody who maybe "normal" in real life on tilt for playing my own Any2suited cards or connectors, and beating their hand because they are to skilful and above my level of thinking! Whether they are trapping and not betting, so i can play a cheap flop!! When i then say its only a £2 tourney or don't react how they want, they go tilty?Great game.

    I love the sitting down at a MTT with hundreds of players & putting my game against them to see how far I can actually before im knocked out. Nothing better than coming in the top 5/10% - that is the best moral boost for myself I could ask for!!

    What do I love about Poker!? Bit like married life - it has it's ups and downs!! Can be very enjoyable in many different ways (socially / pitting your skills against others / winnings pots and doing well in tournaments) be can also be equally frustrating! And don't worry, the wife isn't watching!!

    What do i love about poker?

    When my A game is like the A TEAM and I love it when a plan comes together!

    Unfortunately, so often, the poker gods love it when a plan falls apart!

    Hi all, 

    My favouraite thing about poker? Winning an MTT is without doubt the best feeling there is in poker. Its not even about the money, ive finished 2nd and 3rd etc in tournaments for more than some wins but after playing for hours and winning the whole thing its priceless!

    Keep up the good work guys.
