What does Primo have in common with a pub? (***OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***)

Hello team,

Once again, I've been saddled with Sky Poker's miserbalist-in-residence, as Tikay and I prepare to spend four hours reviewing the action from tonight's main event.

Yes, it's the £15k GTD Primo - a £55 buy-in tournament due to begin at 8pm.  The accompanying television show starts an hour later on channel 865.

There'll be the usual splash of cash and our Sunday-night strategy symposium - aka: The Poker Clinic - plus your contributions via e-mail (skyopen@bskyb.com) and this forum thread.

And the hot topic tonight?

Well, after being abused by the blonde grumpster for talking about movies on Thursday, I've decided to let YOU set the agenda.  Yes, tonight's programme is just like an open mic session at your local pub.  So, step up on stage...

Want to tell a fascinating train anecdote?  Go right ahead!  Have an opinion about modern architecture?  Share it!  Suggestions for celebrities to join Davina and Russell Brand in Room 101?  Let's be having 'em!

Here's a few questions to get things started:

* How on earth has Jason Statham sustained a career in Hollywood?
* What's a suitable punishment for people who let their dogs foul the pavement?
* Which is more condescending - being called "boss" or "chief"?

    I'd like to ask tikay about cricket.

    I know he's a fan of listening to it on the radio (got to be the most pointless thing ever btw, listening to cricket commentry on the radio)...............

    But how does he feel about 50 over cricket, and more rectently, 20 over cricket?

    I reckon TK is abit of a traditionalist, so probably hasn't time to watch a 3 hour 20 20 game, yet has 5 days to listen to a test match.

    If I'm wrong, and he enjoys the shorter format of the game, what does he think to Englands world cup squad that was announced in the week??????????  And does he think that Johnathon Trott is as out of place in Englands one day batting line up, as tikay himself would be in a Velocity mtt????????!!!!!!!!!????????

    In on a freebie tonight, playing for a min cash (all profit) - dym strategy in mtt tournys ftw! :D

    His looks, that's what seems to be the deciding factor in casting for Hollywood. Having said that, I did enjoy the first Transporter film.

    * What's a suitable punishment for people who let their dogs foul the pavement?

    Life imprisonment.

    * Which is more condescending - being called "boss" or "chief"?

    Neither, ooop ere in Yorkshire we have to put up with people calling us duck and love.

    Today my mum said that Jason Statham could play me in a film.  Cheeky mare.  He could never pull me off.

    My first entry into the primo tonight and had doubled my stack, picked up 8 9 c on the button and limped in. Hit the flush on the river and got beaten by someone with the J 4 , gutted.

    Tikay you mentioned sending Pete Docherty to room 101. I used to run a pub just down the road from Kate Moss's house and they used to come in all the time. Pete is actually a really nice guy, he doesn't deserve all the bad press around him. You just need to catch him on the rare occasion he isn't high :-)

    333319173

    Villain has either limped or shoved , but shoving has been very infrequent. Pretty close, but I have a 4k+ stack and I dont think im good shape that often if I call

    Dogs fouling the pavement and Angry Birds ?

    Same answer for both.

    Stop seeing them.
