Thursday's live show with James & Tikay ***OFFICIAL THREAD***

We're on your screens at 8pm, following the action in the £12k Bounty Hunter and the £5k Sky Roller.

Good luck to all the players in both tournaments!

This will be Tikay's last show on channel 865 before he flies to Las Vegas on Monday. I'll be joining him in Sin City a few days later. And then the fun begins ;) Yes, it's 'Hartigan & Kendall's Vegas Vacation: Part II' - a sequel to the 2009 epic that featured bunking broncos and a pugil stick fight!

Please help me write the screenplay for this (hypothetical) movie by contributing a scene. What hilarious high jinks can you see us engaging in during our days together on The Strip?

And another Vegas-related topic - a question every member of the Sky Poker on-air team has been asked in the last week...

Which British player do you think will put in the best performance in this year's World Series of Poker main event?*

Please post away in this forum thread, or e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com



* Point of reference: last year, it was some amateur called Redmond Lee. He managed to donk his way into the last 27. No-one's heard anything from him since...

    I'll get things started...

    Tikay and Hartigan check into the hotel. Hartigan tries to bag an upgrade and some perks, by claiming that his travelling companion is his grandfather who's come to Vegas to celebrate his 100th birthday. The hotel gives Hartigan nothing. Typical. But Tikay gets upgraded to a penthouse suite and also receives the attentions of the hotel's in-house "complimentary" nurse - who provides 24/7 support and attends to the old man's EVERY need!


    I believe Jake Cody will be the UK's highest place finisher in the WSOP ME. Why? Because he's the UK's biggest luckbox ;)

    He came 21st!

    I'll go for Jake Cody, I know he's an obvious choice, but on recent form you can't really bet against him.
     
    There are a lot of highly talented young Brits over in Vegas. As a nation we already have 3 bracelets in the bag in 2011, these guys have just as much a chance as anyone else of taking down the ME. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a British winner, no matter who it is. I'll be cheering them all on.

    luckily though, Hartigan had his 'trade' card still on him and used it to swap places with Tikay. His excitement soon dropped when he found out that Richard Orford was the in house nurse! The wazzock had flown out to Vegas after Ed Giddins had told him that his win at the side event at SPT, Leeds, gained him free entry to the ME.

    On their way out of the hotel after unpacking, Tikay and James encounter a pack zombie wild bears. James cowers behind Tikay fearing the worst but something strange happens.

    Tikay starts to talk about trains which sends the zombie bears to sleep. Who would have thought Tikays train stories could save Vegas.



    I'll go for Sam Trickett seeing as Cody has already been mentioned.

    Tikay: James, do you want to buy this officially-licensed WSOP t-shirt?
    James: What an attractive shade of red. How much is it?
    Tikay: One hundred and eighty dollars.
    James: Bargain. I'll take it.

    [James hands over his money)

    James: One time. Now I'll look really cool and part of da pokerz scene!
    Tikay: (aside) Only cost me twelve dollars really. Thanks for tripling my bankroll for this trip. Wazzock.

    *May not win any screenwriting awards

    Tikay uses his extra cash to watch the all singing, all dancing caberet,but is horrified to discover that it is only the 'great' annual Helmuth introduction! 

    My guess for top Brit is Redmond again.

    Hartigan and kendall arrive in town, packing their six gun.  Rumours are Doc holiday is in town.  Ready for a showdown Hartigan picks the deepest deepstack game in Town.  100,000 starting stack, 6 hour blind levels.  Hartigans gets busy in the early levels.  Kendall sleeps through six levels plays aces and doubles up.  Back to sleep.   Hartigan is getting nowhere fast. sleeping through this Kendall plays a few hands on day20.  Few people left, Hartigan shattered down to last chip. Kendal fresh ready for the final table in brilliant shape.  Kendal wins.  Moral of the story the tortoise and the hare.

    This will (or should) happen:

    - Tikay plays the Deepstack at Ceasers or Venetian
    - He only plays Aces
    - He plays Kings once (when he feels like loosening up)
    - He folds a lot
    - He folds some more
    - He gets to the final four, with 6 bigs & does a deal (which is very favourable)
    - Finishes 4th
    - He brags about how he 'owned' everyone
    - Rinse and repeat


    Best peforming Brit at WSOP - Up and coming internet whizz-kid JULIAN THEW!
