Hello!
At 9pm, Carlo and I will appear on channel 865. As if by magic. We'll be analysing the action from the £8k Sunday Roller, the £12.5k Primo and tonight's UKOPS Super Satellite. We'll also be talking...
POKER EPIPHANIES
When was your 'lightbulb' moment? What was the one thing that took your game to the next level? Which strategic concept changed your status from novice to intermediate, or from mediocre to good player? What single piece of advice would you pass on to someone starting out at the Hold'em tables?
Plus, for a bit of fun (and as we haven't had a movie theme for a while), we're going to play...
CARLO BINGO
Can you guess Carlo's ten favourite films of all time? Have a go. Send your list of ten movies that you think Carlo lurves to skyopen@bskyb.com, or post it in this forum thread. Whoever guesses the most correct titles will win free entry to tomorrow's UKOPS Super Satellite.
Plus, how many of Carlo's top ten films do you reckon appear in my top 50? Everyone who guesses the correct number will go into a draw to win free entry to this week's OmaHartigan League events.
Good luck!

I think mine was just getting my head round Fancy Play Syndrome (or one of the many other terms people use). It's very easy to see the pros on TV on High Stakes Poker or Late Night Poker (where I first got hooked) and see all the moves they make and odd starting hands they play but you obviously can't do that until you've mastered the fundamentals of the game first. Once I got that into my head and left all the fancy play behind (for now at least), I learnt to get my ABC straight forward solid poker game as good as possible... then you can start mixing things up a bit as you progress.
Carlo's Top 10 Films (in no particular order)
1. Usual Suspects
2. Godfather
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. 12 Angry Men.

3. Godfather 2
4. Scarface

Not quite had a lightbulb moment yet but have developed my game a bit(mostly by watching sky poker and listening to Carlo, Tikay etc.) by concentrating on position and and understanding sometimes it okay to let good hands go if it looks like I'm beat.
