Live Podcast #2 with Andy Young - aka ChicknMelt - Monday 7th September at 19:30

in Poker Chat
Following all the positive feedback from last Monday's podcast (thanks again @MattBates!), I'm delighted to announce that @chicknMelt will be joining me next Monday (7th Sept) for round two. Andy was one of the first names on a lot of peoples lips when the idea of more podcasts was mentioned and I genuinely can't wait to find out what makes this absolute beast of the MTT world tick.

The overall format seemed to work pretty well last time out so I'll be keeping things the same for next Monday - I'll kick off the stream at the usual time of 18:30 with a bit of poker action before Melty joins me live at 19:30.

As before, if there is anything in particular you guys would like me to ask Melty then just let me know in here. All the questions you posted last time out with Matt really helped me put the whole thing together - from the supposedly obvious stuff I'd have otherwise forgotten to ask to the funny and outright bizarre ones.

It'll all be taking place at the link below and you can also find me live on there tonight from 18:30 where I'll be doing my best to pretend that I enjoy tournament poker:

    Reason behind the username?
    Biggest mistake you see amatuer players making?
    WSOP Main Event, first hand you have Aces, utg goes all in. Do you call?
    Do you study, and if so what do you use?
    What would you like to see on Sky as part of any new changes coming around the corner? More rake races? ;)

    Great stuff, looking forward to it!

    Think he mentioned somewhere he's a dad? Could you ask how he manages to balance that with the pokerzzz/ever had any big final tables interrupted by nappy changes or whatever

    They will be far too busy with other questions to answer this one on Monday I'm afraid, so you may as well delete it.

    (The answer is no btw)

    I liked Matt’s story of the guy putting the neighbour’s bins out, are there any staking rules you’ve had to impose to stop someone getting the gins out?

    Do you have any thoughts on how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

    I typed the following up during a work break, think I got carried away but Parkinson can edit the list to his hearts content. :smiley:

    "Melty" as Dues calls him (I think I'll call him "Chicken") was on the same table as me and Mr Bates last night. A right bit of rivalry building up between them with plenty needling going on in the chat box.
    Q1. Chicken, what's your favourite tipple as you clearly don't like coke and whiskey ie the preferred choice of Mr Bates.
    Q2. how tall are you (viewers seemed very keen on this question at the inaugural podcast).
    Q3. Other than Skypoker, which is your favourite poker site and why?
    Q4. If you were a playing card which one would you be and why?
    Q5. If it's not been asked already - biggest win? We won't talk about losses, us poker players never do.
    Q6. Craziest hand you've ever been involved in?
    Q7. Most generous gift you ever bought yourself as an award for a big win?
    Q8. Favourite music to listen to why playing poker?
    Q9. Max. number of tables you play at one time and what's the main technique to staying in control e.g. Mr Bates likes tiles I believe.
    Q10. Worst rant when had a bad beat? I destroyed a mouse once and someone else fessed up to kicking a door. Or are you a laid back Chicken who's too drugged up to your eyeballs to care for about a bad beat?
    Q11. How's Dues' interview technique?
    Q12. What's Dues' biggest strength on the poker table?
    Q14. Who do you see as the best (most skilled but perhaps not biggest wins) MTT poker player online and on the live circuit and why?
    Q15. Have you had COVID-19?
    Q16. What do you think of Scotland (careful with this answer :) )
    Q17. What do you think of players who hits Quads on the flop and fold :blush: Yup that was me 2 nights a go. Multi-tabling (does 2 tables at the same time count as multi tabling?) and didnt pay attention to the flop, just folded my hole cards 7 2 (flop was 222).

    I think Andy is smart enough to know that you shouldn’t put a good coke anywhere near a good whiskey! Not sure what Matt’s up to polluting single malts, a rare leak perhaps.

    Dues - not sure if it will be relevant but think Andy posted a photo of his grind station not so long ago on here, if anything you chat about relates might be worth digging out. I’ll have a look for it.

    Actually scrap that, I was thinking it was one of the more ‘grindy’ looking ones, but Melt’s is much more sleek and minimalist. Who knows maybe that’s a talking point, doubt it, but maybe if you get any awkward silences :D

    I was in the forum archive and came across this thread "can-a-chicken-go-pro" from November 2013 and would recommend a read of it. There is so much detail that it will take a fair time to read. The thread is a good education as well as inspirational.

    I may add some more but for now!

    1. If you could perform a wrestling move on any sky player which move and which player? Have you ever wrestled in a casino?
    2. What is the highest number of live entries you have done in a week?
    3. I heard you once played 3 sessions in a week. How do you maintain such volume?
    4. Is note taking important? Do you keep a good balance between family life and poker? What are your notes on wingman/alba?
    5. Have you played much live plo? Ever staked anyone for live plo?
    6. You have some great results in SPT’s, what is the secret to your success? What % of day 1a that you have played have you remembered?
    7. In your diary you said, “I got get my C4P from october paid into my account too today. I didnt play enough last month for a mixture of reasons, so I didnt even get to 5000 points. my C4P payment was £59.70.” How many times this year have you got to 5k points?

    Some excellent questions there @MattBates

    They should work nicely alongside me asking Melty whether he thinks Matt Bates is bitter that he's won almost the same amount of money in 2020 but with just half the volume? ;)

    Well the good news is that I'll just be playing a little cash before our esteemed guest joins the stream at 19:30, so even I should be able to not completely **** that up.

    It all kicks off in 15 mins folks... :)
