Strike It Rich On The Cash Tables Tonight!

Yes, in a rather worrying reference to Michael Barrymore, the Sky Poker marketing team have decided to call my Play The Presenter night Strike It Rich.

Yes I know they've called it that because it includes my name, yet I can't help feeling like it's as good as saying Fill Your Boots.

Basically, everyone else got really cool names like Clever Trevor and OmaHartigan.

Mine simply says: Roll up, roll up. Free money tonight. Come and play the freak!

So, here's the deal- I'm on the 10p/20p tables tonight. All evening, from 7pm till late. I will be pulling up the max every time I get felted and playing on two tables at once. I'll also be moving around. To spread the wealth, so to speak.

So- think you have what it takes to prise my 'not-very-hard earned money' away from me?

Bring it on.

I warn you though, I'm on fire at the mo. I came 4th in a 1400 runner event yesterday and won the princely sum of £25. (Why, WHY was it a freeroll? A £100 buy-in and I would have been minted!!!!)

Anyway, on with the show. Strike It Rich, indeed. Pffft!


PS- If you're not playing 10p/20p cash tonight, please feel free to drop by and keep me company. It could be a long night...especially for Sky Poker's accountants. Who I expect will be watching my tables from behind the sofa...

    It's a large pool.

    Prize pool, that is.

    Right- 7pm . And I've sat down at a 10 seater 10p/20p cash table.

    It's Stanraer and it's filling up fast with a good bunch of people all up for some banter.

    Alternatively - put RICHORFORD into the Find A Player feature to locate the table.

    In a shock turn of events- I've turned £20 in £35 in less than 5 minutes!

    Of course it did help that I was dealt pocket Kings on the very first hand, which blossomed into a set on the turn, and bloomed into a full-house on the river, whilst my opponent most thoughtfully and generously re-raised me all-in.

    Easy game this, isn't it? ;)

    Well, it's busy on the table tonight- having a great chat with lots of regulars and some new folk too.

    And still in profit. Just. £5 up at time of writing.

    Gonna open another 10-seater in a moment...

    Don't let it change you Rich; nobody likes a Smarty-Big-Potatoes. I should know ;)

    OK- we're reached the half-time interval. And whilst I jump in the communal bath and hope I've got the girls dressing room I can now report that, having started with £20 on two tables, I finished the session with £31.24 on one table and £13.33 on the other.

    Giving me a total Family Fortune of.... £4.57.

    That gets me a latte and a muffin. Not exactly world-beating, is it? 

    And it doesn't even get me that, coz the money belongs to Sky and is not mine to keep.

    On the bright side, I didn't lose anything. So, coupled with my TKO 4th place yesterday, you could say I've hit a rich vein of form here...

    Had a good hour on the table with y'all & enjoyed it a lot! Need to get grub now though so it's the hideous decision of ... which takeaway to order.

    Ok- 2nd half whistle has blown.
    No action in the communal bath. Fair enough. Why would anyone strip off at half-time? Made a basic miscalculation there...

    Anyway, on with the game.

    Now sat at the Brooklands 10p/20p cash table- armed and dangerous with £20 and waiting to take on all-comers.

    Bring.

    It.

    On.

     And I think your 4th place last night just tipped the result in our favour because it was so 'tikay' close...

    Rich - I just missed a call from you, & your 'phone is not responding. Bell me back, please. Or come to the FINAL TABLE of the 7.30 Deepie where I am playing. ;)
