Tonight’s hot topics are-
How did you spend today?
Something out the ordinary? If so, spill the beans.
Or was it a classic traditional Sunday for you? In which case, tell us what that involves- pub, church, casino, Burger King? Don’t be shy…
And of course…
Quiz Carlo!Yes, why not make use of a fresh perspective and ask Carlo about his views on the game and on life , his thoughts on a particular hand or situation, and explore his poker career and fascinating history.
From Carlo’s Wikipedia page…
Citrone was raised in Whitley Bay by his father John Citrone, a fifteen-time world bodybuilding champion and supplier of sports nutrition and gym equipment products.Whilst still a teenager, Citrone was given a gym from his father in North Shields to run with his fathers partner Sunderland A.F.C. footballer Dave Buchanan, on expanding the business they bought a health club in Redcar.
The health club went on to become part of a successful chain and was sold, leaving Carlo (who was suffering from insomnia) in need of a new challenge. He found this in poker and began playing tournaments at the Stanley Casino in Newcastle.
He began playing in 2001 and has won tournaments in Walsall, Melbourne, Luton and London, where he won the £500 no limit hold'em event of the 2003 British Open, defeating Lucy Rokach in the heads-up confrontation.
His major tournament money finishes include two World Series of Poker (WSOP) final tables and 2nd place in the £500 no limit hold'em event at the 2002 European Poker Championships.Citrone also appeared in the Late Night Poker television series (series 5, episode 7) where he finished 3rd, behind Dave Colclough and Charalambos "Bambos" Xanthos.
He also appeared in the 2005 World Speed Poker Open, finishing 4th in his heat.
Citrone is known for taking his time over decisions and entered the speed poker event for the extra challenge.
He has worked as an analyst on Sky Poker (channel 865)
As of 2008 his total live tournament winnings exceed $680,000.
I wanted to hang out with him in gentlemen's clubs where you receive a, ahem, specialised service.
He wanted to hang out in train stations.
So we compromised and amalgamated the words 'service' and 'station' together. FML....
What did i do today??? sleep and trawl facebook
Speaking of saving yourself, be very glad he didn't amalgamate the words into going to a "train club".
Hope the 3 of you hav a fab show, and hope whoever wins VLV has the time of their lives.
Time for 2nd power-nap of the day
Wow, GREAT question from Dohhhhhh. I'll let Carlo have first crack at that one.
I just took him across to Make-Up, not that he needs it, he's got his tan, & his stunning handsome looks even before make-up. Think I'll put a bag on Rich's head, to avoid Rich looking quite so bad in comparision.
Obv, no need for me to, Carlo wants to look like me imo.
questions for carlo
1 whats the funniest thing youve seen on a table ?
2 whats your biggest achievement ?
3 do you like porridge?
Question for Carlo. Simple really, who is the best player you have come across in the game?
: )
Question for Carlo.
What are your views on 'calling the clock' during tournaments, is it bad etiquette to do so or should their be a general understanding that enough is enough and a decision should be made ? (I personally would never call the clock on a player)
Which ones which ?
I got up late after losing an hours sleep which means I didn't lose an hours sleep due to getting up late if that makes sense.
I then had to change every clock in the house which usually ends up with me trying to find instructions for alot of the clocks as i've no idea how to set them again.
Why is it everything comes with a clock anyway ? Got two cordless phones with clocks, an oven, microwave, boiler, hard drive recorder (thankfully sky + doesn't have them) hifi, sat nav and on and on and on and on......
How many clocks does a house need ? (be carefull if reading this out on live tv by the way).
So by this time it's already lunch time, so I watched some F1, played some poker, went for a sunday roast dinner and am now back playing poker again.
