The perefect night for PTP!
7pm - tikay Sleepstack, £11, 5k chips.
8pm - Double Stack Open, £11, 4k Chips.
Unlike the last month, I won't have Rich Orford in the office with me for company - we had wonderful fun to tell the truth - so just me tonight. I'll have a Last-Longer with myself I think.
But if anyone wants a Double Last Longer with me - just for the craic - Post on the Thread, please. Winner is the one with the LOWEST combined finishing positions from BOTH Tourneys. So finish 10th in one, & 10th in the other = 20.
I'll sort out a few Sky Poker goodies for the winner - Sky Poker stress ball, beer mat, pen, & key-ring.
I MAY be late starting tonight, as we are in the Studio all day doing Pre-Records, & I have a hunch we will slip behind schedule, but I've entered both Tourneys, & I'll arrive at some stage, possibly nearer 8pm than 7.
See you later.

how bout if i win, you have to wear a pair of donkey ears for the first hour of SPT in Glasgow??
A better one would be, if you win, tikay cannot have a go at you for the first hour at the SPT
or even better, if i win tikay cant have a go at me at all during SPT
that would be **** for him
Sleeping through the first 2 hours is fine but you will almost certainly miss my exits from both games which may spoil your evening.
Mere is right - I'd not want to miss his exit.
But I actually think that Phil Hellmuth, who famously "sits-out" for the first 3 or 4 Levels of almost every Tourney he plays, including the WSOP Biggie etc - has it right. Playing the first few Levels is truly daunting & scary, as many players feel obliged to play every hand, & these guys, as Elsadog notes, are dangerous.
I played a Live Event 2 weeks ago, & it went (at 25-50), Limp, Limp, Limp, then the BB made it two thousand. And got THREE Callers! What hand can three players in a row limp with at 25-50, & then call a 2k pre-flopRaise?! And that was a £100 Tourney!
So that's the secret of my failure. I avoid that stages of tourneys like the plague. Reducing variance is key, it's part of "finding that route", "dodging those bullets". By Level 5, it becomes much more sedate & civilised, & then, come Level 8 or 10, the real poker, & the real fun, begins.
Which one would you reccomend for most enjoyment tikay? I dont expect to cash in either just hope to last a couple of hours and have some fun

BUT....the 7pm will only pay about 5 or 6 places, (it will get 30 to 40 runners) & the 8pm will pay around 40 or 50 places, from a field of 300 to 400.
(My better half told me to type that).
I WILL be late starting the tikay Sleepie - & maybe even the 8pm Main - as the Pre-Records are a bit behind schedule, & we have not started recording "The Club" yet. Which takes about 90 minutes to record, for technical reasons. But I'll be along at some stage.
The Last-Longer is on for anyone interested, but entries CLOSE at 7pmm sharp, any Late Entries may be disqualified, & possibly shot, too.
Good Luck guys.
