If I could be coached by any player in the world, I would go for the following in each of their categories...
Worldwide - Phil Ivey. He's God.
UK - Julian Thew. Super consistent and I believe I play a similar style to that Julian uses. He's just a lot better at poker than me and I want to know why
From Sky Poker - I think I'd like to have a proper chat with Brownndog some time. He seems to have a great sense for when to change gears, especially at the SPTs. Would be good to see how he thinks about certain spots.
Welcome back Ed. My mentors would be, ONLINE, PAUL JACKSON, he talks a lot of sense, both tactical and stack maintainence. CASH, Redmond Lee, if some of our big UK hitters think he is very good, who am i to disagree. TOURNAMENTS, Phil Ivey, the professional players, player, enough said.
Have good show. P.S this is my first post for 3/4 months after a complete break from poker.
Redmond Lee, that isn't just a "Sky is Great" thing. The respect he got on the Sky Cash game from the likes of Channing and Jackson just goes to show how good he is in this aspect of the game.
MTT
As we're on the Sky theme why not stick to it. These players have proven time nd time again how good they are. I would have Dan Brown mentor me in MTT. The guy has an amazing record and has always spoke a lot of sense as far as I am concerned
STT
Ben Nuttall Has an amazing record in this discipline and on the rare occassions I have played on the same table as him, has always impressed me with his timing as well as his manner on the table.
Actually this did turn into a "sky is great" theread..... who cares ;o)
My mentors if i could choose two would be Alan Cunningham for tournies and Tom Dwan for cash games because they are both awesome at those games simplzzzzzzzzzzz
And if i could choose a third it would have to be Mr Phil Helmuth himself to teach me how to handle tilt lol
Sudden change in Expert tonight and Ian has the sniffles and a tickly cough.......... he'll kill me for telling you all that So Mr Ed Giddins is going to rush up to the studio and cover for him Enjoy the show Posted by Sky_Claire
Ed! Great to see you back on the beat! Shame I'm not doing tonight's show. But in my absence I think it only fair you have a five pound bet with Ms Fowler, for old time's sake! Have a good one, both of you. :-) Posted by RICHORFORD

Welcome back mi old mucker!!!!!! Hope it's more than a one off!!
Sorry to hear the east end gang-lord has man-flu but we always knew he was a big girls blouse on the inside..p.s. get well soon Ian...
If I could be mentored by anyone I'd be mentored by myself - sober.
The first thing I'd do is tell myself to stop donking my bankroll when drunk ;o)
Have a great show guys!!
xx
You do understand what mentored means....don`t you Jim?

DEFO LOLUFOLD ( REDMOND LEE )
THE GUY HAS THE POKER KNOWLEDGE & ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE THE TEACHING POKER ABILITY .
WELCOME BACK,
to EDWARD THE GREAT .
More ed plzzz sky suits .
If I was to be mentored by one player it would have to be Ivey, mainly just so he could teach me to stare at people the way he does.
I've tried to copy it a few times but I always end up giggling like a girl.
and are you gonna be playing the open more often again??? PM me the answer so i know to pick you for the 0.56M
liked his game and style since i first watched any poker
Ed, given what has been seen in the last 2 test, what do you fancy the score at the end of the four tests. I fancy 3-1 England
