Sunday Night Live with Rich and The Raiser ****official show thread****

Stone me, it’s another super-soaraway scorching Sunday here on Sky Poker.

(Ah, you can’t beat a spot of alliteration to get things cracking).

A tasty show beckons tonight then, with several selling points:


(1)    El Primo!!!! Yes, Sky Poker’s flagship tourney sets sail once more with £12.5K GTD in the kitty and a title worth winning for maximum kudos throughout the next week on the site.


(2)    It’s another semi-final in the Viva Las Vegas comp.  Kicking off at 9pm, one in ten players will win a seat in the biggest game of them all here on skypoker.com.


and (3)    THREE new member of Team Sky Poker will be announced tonight as we follow the crunch qualifiers in MTTS, STTS and Cash.

Lots of crucial action then this evening, and at the helm will be Ian Frazer, aided and abetted by myself.

Here’s a photo I dug up of Ian from the net this afternoon. Now, I don’t know whether this was a publicity shot manufactured for a poker event, or just a typical Saturday night out for The Raiser, but either way- it’s pretty impressive…






I then dug out the closest thing I could find to that picture. featuring me…




Not quite the same is it?

Ian is still very much the newboy here at Sky Poker, so he’d greatly appreciate your welcoming comments and general input to the show. Any questions, hands you’d like him to analyse, and general tomfoolery will be gladly received on this thread.

Tonight’s hot topic:


Nostalgia night!



Yes, it doesn’t matter whether you’re 18 or 80. Tell us something you remember from your past days that you now think sounds rather quaint.

Here’s a few from me:

I remember when you went out to play after school from 4 till 6 and your mum had absolutely no idea where you where. (Usually mucking around near the canal or the train track, by the way).

I remember when there were only 3  TV channels in Britain and when films at the cinema had intervals halfway through and  short 10 minute films were shown before the main feature.

I also remember when Crème Eggs were 10p. Bought one today…55p!!!!!! Flaming liberty!


You get the idea. It might help if you give us your general age as well.

We’ll read as many out as many we can and there’ll be a TSP Classic entry to the one we like best.

I think that covers it for now :)

Good luck in the games tonight and see you at 9!

    Weird- don't remember that one. We're a similar age though. Do you remember being taught road safety by Tufty the squirrel in The Tufty Club?

    Hi guys - have a good show.

    I'm 31, and as an avid football fan, I remember the days when the only way to check the latest scores was on teletext, and you always used to have to wait for the page with your team on to come round again, as it always seemed like you had just missed it....in actual fact this was as recent as the late 90's, but it seems like a lifetime ago.

    i have one.... maybe when i was younger barney the dinosaur just seemed like a harmless big singing purple dinosaur now 14-15 years later and many youtube videos that have been produced I have seen exactly what he was trying to do aswell as realising he was a guy in a dinosaur suit singing about loving kids and wanting them to love him back..... can't be a good memory....... my mum says i was a big fan of barney the dinosaur as a kid clearly fell into the trap :(

    General idea of my age  = OLD !

    Saw my granddaughter today sat on her 1st trike, she is less than 12 months old.  This reminded me of my 1st trike, which I got when I was just 5 years old.  Why I remember I don't know because it is 58 years ago, and at my age I struggle to remember what happened last week!  I loved that trike, it had no brakes (you need to peddle backwards in reality).  My 1st go, I sat on it, my brother (age 11) right beside me giving instructions, which I obviously ignored.  I put my feet up and, low and behold, the trike with me on it sets off down the steep drive, a quick left onto a steep road going down nicely and picking up speed.  I could hear my brother shouting as he ran after me as fast as he could.  Only 100 yards to go when the road I was on joined with a major road.  I was oblivious, but as I reached the bottom I, somehow, managed a left hand 90 degree turn and quickly came to a standstill as a car went speedily past in opposite direction.  Perhaps as well I didn't go straight on.  As my Mother joined my brother (she could run fast too!), I didn't know what they were fussing about really, I was obviously always in control!

    Met Ian in Luton, in Turbo tournie (same table) on day of SPT - great guy.  Have a good show.

    Hi Rich and Ian...........hope you have a good show show tonight, Ps: Ian, not too sure about the photo, I reckon half the the field look too fit ... you've been conned mate, they're 'ladyboys'........ahhemmmm........they do say 'variety is the spice of life'.
    Nostalgia...........oh how I miss rushing from school to catch my regular fix of 'Robin Hood,Robin Hood riding thru the glenn. ...Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men' on the t.v. and then running to the park for a game of football and then onto the local off-licence for a bottle 'Peardrax'...best drink ever made for quenching a thirst imo.....gawd I wish they would bing that back.

    i not mentioning my age either but when i was little you only got 4 fruit salads for the old penny.  But, when i was a kid some of the best fun was making a cart out of a plank of wood, wooden box and pram wheels. the telly not only had only 3 channels but it was not on all the time.  And at the end of the days programs they played the national anthem.  Not everyone had a telephone but some people had a party line so you could listen to other peopls conversations.
