PRIMO WITH HARTIGAN & HARRIS (***OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***)

Hello again!

Well, I think it's fair to say a brilliant day was enjoyed by all at SPT Luton.  I'll provide a detailed, illustrated blog about the event in due course, but in the meantime let's focus on this evening's live show.

Sunday = Primo.  It's a £55 No Limit Hold'em freezeout with a £15,000 guarantee.  The tournament starts at 8pm.  Selected hands will be screened on channel 865 from 9pm with analysis from my studio counterpart, Trevor Harris.  If you'd like your hand shown on TV, please e-mail the ID number to skyopen@bkyb.com, or post it in this forum thread - with as much background info as possible.

We'd also like your take on tonight's Hot Topics...

It was interesting to hear yesterday how many Sky Poker players feel they need to adjust their game when playing live.  It was also fascinating to watch a few MTT regulars with nittish reputations making bold, aggressive moves they'd never dream of making on-line!  So, do you find there are distinct differences between your live game and your on-line game?  What adjustments do you make?  Do you actually think it's wrong to change the way you play, just because the poker table is real, rather than virtual?

And, inspired by the mediocre band and dodgy DJ at the G Casino in Luton, which song tilts you beyond belief?  Is there a record you've heard so many times, you can't bear it any longer?  A karaoke "classic" that makes you scream?  (At 9pm, I'll explain why a certain Boney M track gives me the shivers!)

    UGH

    regardless of anything else, 'Come on Eileen' is now going to put me on life tilt every time I hear it. I've never heard a song destroyed so badly.

    Although there were some other fantastic candidates that night... painful listening.

    The only differences I make when playing live compared to sky is really the ante structure- I think live favours a more aggressive approach regarding stealing, since very often people play much tighter live, and are less likely to call or raise preflop with garbage for fear of looking stupid (of course, there are always exceptions... lol)

    Got a dilema,my partner and i havent been out together since jan,and now she is nagging me about going out.
    Should i take her to a poker night at 1 of my locals,of which ive already made arrangements to play in,or should i give her some money and tell her to stay at home and play on line.Mind you i think the latter might upset her,now if i take her to play live,i know a couple of women,that will be there that i used to date before we met.

    Now i know you might say just take her out for a drink somewhere else,but to be honest,this would only copound matters as,she would reliase that my mind will be elsewhere.

    In live poker, i play alot looser. Im more confident on picking up tells, therefore i rekon i can bluff more.

    in live poker im a nit sit and wait for hands dont play anything but online i seem to be the total opposite get bored quickly and end up going as aggressive as anything which sometimes proves to be my downfall but i find it hard to adapt the way i play live to the way i play online if i could i think id easily make the cash more often but i believe im a big nit live because the starting stacks are a lot bigger so i dont really need to do anything

    The counter argument (put forward by many other viewers) was: why do you pause your live coverage of the Primo, VLV tournament, cash tables, etc. for a stand-alone 30 minute segment?

    So, you can't please all the people all the time :)

    Also, we're more likely to have a special guest star studio analyst on a Thursday - so it makes more sense to record The Poker Clinic when they're around.
