Tonight's Live Show - Better than The Big Debate.

Yes, forget Mr Brown, Mr Cameron, & Mr Clegg.

Tonight, the REAL Live Debate will be on Channel 865, & we NEED your questions. 

The subject of the debate will be "What about the Poker Economy?". Here's the sort of questions we need.

1) What about the poker economy?

2) Should the Government introduce Poker Freerolls?

3) Does Poker need to be introduced into the education curriculum?

4) Should Poker Winnings be taxed? (Imagine being able to claim back Poker losses!).

5) What can Rich Orford do to stop his rapid hair loss?

We will be on-air from 8pm until Midnight, & will be covering.....

a) Tonight's Main Event, the Sky Sports NL Hold Em, which carries an £11 entry tag, 10 minute blinds, & 2,000 starting chips. The winner, of course, gets a bonus of free entry to the coveted £8,000 Guaranteed Sky Sports DS on May 27th.

b) Tonight's VLV Quarter-Final (well as much as we are able), which begins at 9pm. It's a very important week for VLV, too, as the second of our three VLV Finals is THIS Sunday, & will be covered on Sunday evening's Live Show.

Tonight's Show is NOT Simulcast, so we could misbehave, were it not for the fact that tonight's Producers are Sky-Ling & Sky Mandy, who, when it comes to looks of admonishment that would turn a man to stone, are not far behind Ayatollah Attila The Hen.

So, best behaviour, socks pulled right up to our knees. And DON'T MENTION Rich's hair. Right?

    There will be some free poker goodies (Sky Poker Stress-Ball, Sky Poker Cap) for the BEST e-Mail.

    It will NOT be necessary to mention Rich's hair loss to win the Best e-Mail prize.*

    * That is not true.

    Tikay- I'm taking issue with your thread title.

    Nothing is better than a big debate.

    Or is that mass debate?

    (Mods- ban me please...)

    poker should certainly be used in maths classes

    If Billy has 4 to a flush with 2 cards to come, what is the statistical likelihood of him finishing the hand ahead if he is all in against one opponent with trips.....

    John is following Chris Ferguson's bankroll managment guide. If John has a roll of 450 quid, how big a buy in MTT can he afford to play?


    etc etc

    Ooh - I forgot to mention - tonight's Phone-Guest will be "luvBWFC".

    I suppose I could be criticised for that, but really it would be splitting hairs.

    I promise I had no idea who the presenters were when I filled out my questionnaire. There was no buttering up intended!

    Tikay, I think all your ribald comments regarding Mr Orford's shortcomings upstairs are out of order. All this nonsense should be swept under the rug, and you should be made toupee, for ridiculing what is after all quite natural for a man in his mid 50's.

    Having said all that, 'Friar Orford' does have a certain ring to it.

    I really wouldn't worry about them pair, just do as you please! Bad language, rude jokes, double entrances or whatever they're called - just you see if 'Ling or Mandy do anything about it.........................................

    And I actually quite like Richard's wig. I'm having a copy made up as we speak :)

    Am I the only one who wants Rich to do a hair restorer advert with Shane Warne?  If he's still got the yellow jacket from the Ocean Finance deal that would be SWEET!!!!!

    SW "G'Day Rich.  Shreuth mate, what's with the dazzling get-up?  I think I need my Sunny's, that coat's brighter than a flaming Gerlarr"
    RO "Sorry Shane, I'm trying to distract people from my bald patch.'
    SW "Well M'Cobber, I know some people who can help you with that....."

    and you get the idea with that one.
