    Yeah, great show.

    Not sure about Rich with the "Greatest lay down of the century" comment on Romanello's fold - his fold in the WSOP was better imo :) he he

    I had been looking forward to seeing that hand in particular because during the filming of that one we were in Cardiff with Grandad, dai and mark and Romanello popped in and I over heard him discussing the hand and sounded like a corker and it was :)

    Can't wait for the next one now!!

    Great show Rich, really enjoyed it.  However LNP is just not the same for me unless everyone is chain smoking and the dealer is choking.  Oh the good old days.....

    GREAT stuff Mr Orford!

    When Rich told me he'd got the LNP gig, I was thrilled for him - he's such a top top bloke.

    We did the Sunday show together 2 weeks ago, finished it at Midnight. Outside the Studio a car was waiting (not his!), the LNP peeps had sent a car to pick him up, & he was taken straight down to Cardiff, arriving at about 3am, & he was "on set" at 9am on the Monday.

    Honestly, Rich is my hero, in so many ways. Or he was, until he mocked & abused me when I played (& bubbled) the £220 Biggie last week. Just wait until it's HIS turn to play the £220, & my turn to commentate.......

    Good 1st show Mr Orford Sir. If you carry on through the rest of them with that same high professional standard as that one, you too could be nominated for a poker award :))

    Question - Why do we see Kara and Michelle Orp in front of camera and only HEAR Richard & James??

    lol - that will be changing for the next season of the European Poker Tour!  I'll be filming some "in vision" bits and pieces with Mr Negreanu at EPT London & EPT Barcelona later this year.

    Nice one, Rich. Enjoyed the show. Does that James fella EVER miss? Also there seemed to be lots of hands that would end up in some silly post in Area 51 if they happened here, so was that game fixed too? ;-)

    Thanks guys for watching and posting your kind comments.

    For anyone who didn't catch it, it's available to watch on Channel 4's website.

    I'm still in absolute awe of Roberto Romanello's laydown
    of the nut flush versus James Akenhead in the very first hand of the game . It just defies belief!

    x2.

    Romanello had some horrendous luck the whole way through I thought.

    imo you should try and avoid saying stuff like 'raising to find out where they are at' or 'asking the question'. its just quite simply bad.

    beth shak gave a great example of why it is so terrible when she raise/folds T74ss with 88. RW3 says at the end she made a good fold which is totally beyond the fact that she put in $1k with effective stacks of $2.2k then folded with a hand that has good showdown value.

    Great show Rich, really enjoyed it.  Sky+ messed up and the first recording was all choppy so luckily I caught it on C4+1, blimey, poker repeats, whatever next? ;-)

    I have a question, how many times did you say or nearly say a "Sky Pokerism" and have to mentally correct yourself (whilst obvisouly blaming Tikay for it)?

    Lots i bet. As for Tikay...didn't it sound strange to hear Rich without 'grandad's comments? Maybe the old man will do the show with a yank accent the next time they are together!!

    Great first show Rich

    Just watched the show Rich,  Very well done.  Are you having a different co presenter every week, or will it be 3 again ;o)

    I'm sorry Lozzy, but to listen to, or watch, Orford, I need to be paid, & well paid. Listen to him for free? You must be joking!

    I'm paid to tolerate his inane blathering on 865.

    I run bad, too - I have go to do the Show with his Blather-Ness on Saturday, &, even worse, on Monday, I'm supposed to be playing some live poker with him & some dumb Dame, LML I think.

    It's not all fun & games you know, there's pain, too.
