Sarah and I will be appearing on your TV screens at 8pm with three hours of almost-live No Limit Hold'em action. Tonight, we'll be moving up the limits as the programme progresses. Then, at 11pm, we'll be looking at some of the most dramatic hands and sickest pots of the week in the aptly-titled 'Top of the Pots'.
We have a guest on the phone - Yoda37 - who'll be grinding at the low limit tables. Wish him luck! And we'll be chatting to the team in Swansea for the lowdown on the latest leg of the Sky Poker Tour.
Finally, we have THREE spot prizes up for grabs. Once again, we're giving away FREE entry into next Friday's 'Take on Tikay' tournament.
Two of the prizes will be awarded to the two best answers to the following question...
Which piece of music from the movies would you choose as your official poker theme, and why?
Please post your answer in this thread - along with your poker-related questions and comments - or e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com
And the third prize? Well, to be in with a chance of winning that, you'll need to be playing at the Master Cash tables and watching channel 865 at 8pm. All will be revealed :-)
There are 3 I would consider the theme from Star Wars, 633 Squadron or the Dam Busters, the reason, well each and every on makes the hair on my neck stand up, and each one raises my confidence.
Just sorry I wont be watching the show, I just do not like cash
I certainly didn't master cash in a live game last night so will be watching to get yet more tips on improving my game from the "Guru" of poker James Hartigan!
As for the comp I would love to enter but will be flying to Florida next Friday so can't play the prize.
But in honour of my losing cash session last night where 4 times I could have been singing this song from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Cue Sarah to sing.......in Audrey Hepburn style
"Moon River, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Would definitely have to be the Miami Vice tune for me. I am naff at Poker, but I love wearing those white suits from the 80`s that didn't ever need ironing. The matching Slip-On shoes, and Lilac or Turquoise T-Shirts are a bonus......A bit like cashing, then laddering up.
Elton John "The Measure of a Man" as played at the end of Rocky 5. This is the greatest song from a movie ever in my opinion. Not only is it apt for Rocky's story but I think many a lifelong gambler could relate to it's lyrics. Below is an extract that I think any of the old time pro's could relate to:
You've come full circle, now you're home Without the gold, without the chrome And this is where you've always been You had to lose so you could win And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose Now you can choose That's the measure of a man

lol @ "donking 10s"! You mean the 10s that were well ahead of your shoving range and slightly ahead of your KJ? :-)
I think a better example of my luckbox antics was KT beating AT. Anyways, I'll try not to mention last night's result on the live show. Much.

Hi Sarah and James
There are 3 I would consider the theme from Star Wars, 633 Squadron or the Dam Busters, the reason, well each and every on makes the hair on my neck stand up, and each one raises my confidence.

Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Dave and kiss to James from Sian again xx
Why? Because I'm a shark too innit ;-)
Actually I don't clean up at all but it's a good fantasy. Back to rubbing my plant and supping my glass of milk....
Have a good show Sarah & James!
The title suits the player doesn't it?!?! An outstanding power ball to walk to the tables to.
As a novice it's about the one song that stops the laptop leaving through the window at times.
Have a great show James & Sarah!!!
Do I win £5?
You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man

best wishes for the show.

My poker theme would have to be the theme from the film "Goldfinger" cause I plan on walking away with all the money at the end of the game:)
