The question of the relative being ill personaly I would stay and play on if they survive it then you will see them again any way if not I suppose you will see them at there funeral Im shure every1 will under stand if not take the main event down and buy a new family!
On a note on playing live what does Ryan believe on perception of people I have this thing stuck in my head about the older generation that they only play premium hands what do you think or am I just giving the oldies to much respect
Hello Rich and Ryan totalled up how many hours a week I play scary about 35 I have a very understanding wife, only low stakes cash and tournies unless I bink a sattelite. Have got enough on the site that I have spun up so that my hobby is free and I love it Cheers Chris aka Doylebrun.
PS it was a bit of a dilemma when my grandad died should I take the laptop or the Ipad I was respecful I didn't shout loud when I won. THAT WAS A JOKE BY THE WAY.
Hi Rich and Ryan, enjoying the show so far In answer to your question, I probably spend too much time on poker, maybe 2 hours a night after work. mainly low stakes cash with the odd tourney when I have time - should probably spend more of my poker time watching videos or reviewing hands than I do currently. Been watching PokerStaples on twitch recently which I have found helpful for info on short stack tourney play
Playing out of my comfort zone tonight, as after busting the 20k up your game tourney losing with KK vs JJ AIFP, I felt the poker gods owed me a bink - lo and behold on first attempt I won a £3 all in sat to the roller! Not expecting to cash (already dusted off half my stack!), but its good to have the experience, as usually dont play higher than £10 buyins - will be happy with not having any terrible plays shown on TV!
Just catching up with the show tonite. Apparently tonight's sponsors are Ronson & Gillette? (Other manly products are available!) I managed to sat in to the super roller tonite for £3 but 5 mins before it was due to start about 10 grandkids arrived enmasse! HOw happy was I to see them?? :-((
How much time do I spend playing? Well It varies TBH. Probably 10-15 hours per week. I LOVVEE bounty hunters so Thursday nights are a MUST. I also like to play the nightly £55 Speed Bounty Hunter (BTW TommyD has renamed this tourney "The Matt Bates Invitational" for obvs reasons). I also like to play the Monday night DTD when I can. BTW I seem to remember taking a certain Scotty77 out of the mini BH last night. Which was nice... My best bink to-date is coming 2nd in the super roller for £3k.
P.S. In 10 days time I will have been on Skypoker for 4 years. I might do a retro diary in the weeks to come.

live tournament dilemma
couldn't you ask someone to take your place for a short while?
your family might not notice the imposter.
Moral dilema, i would say it pretty rude of them to be ill at 2.20 in the afternoon.
All the best

It generated 7 seats when 4 was GT

Good show Guys
If Ryan takes the positive
He'll never want for chips!
Would it help if I said he looks the smartest presenter tonight?
I think it's the jacket!
In answer to the question being discussed tonight
My answer to how much of my life is taken up by poker is
"Enough to get excited about the next tournament I play and not enough to stop enjoying & learning time and time again"
