Hi everyone,
Hope you will be tuning in tonight for our live show from 8pm, on Ch865, streaming live on SkyPoker.com and on SkySports4 from 10pm.

I am joined again by Stuart Rutter, who is taking the analyst seat only for the 2nd time. If you find that he is talking about anything you don't get, please do drop me an email tonight or post on here, he is finding his feet with setting the right tone as I said before, so we need your guys' feed back.

Would like to say a big thank you for my DTD forum invite on Monday night. Had a lovely time, and had a little cash
Forgot to register for the 1st tournament though
Lesson learnt for next time! Super fun, get involved if you havn't already.
Tonight's Topic
I would like to chat about 'switching gears'. As we know so important to winning a tournament is changing your game as the hours go by;do you find it hard? How do you know what to do if you rarley reach the final stages of a tournament? Do you play more/less hands, how far do you widen your hand range, do you play more 'gambling' hands? If you have any advice you can give on your own game style, or any questions please do ask/post...
Also I am wondering if I win a point for having the most ridiculous think nicked this week...my shoes from outside my door!! Left them outside because they were muddy (smelly old uggs) and someone took them!??
My last show before I see some of you at Luton, wondering who will be having a little warm up on the fri night??

Forgiven Anna. It all made sense to us!
Miss Fowler dont leave any of your shoes in the studio either, we know what you are like
Now Ive heard of people nicking lingerie from the washing line but smelly Ugs ! now thats some fetish !
READ THE NEXT BIT OUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE RIVER
A question for Stuart, how much would he bet on the river. He said several times last Saturday "Bet big" on the river.
I have been experimenting with bet sizing on the river. I used to always "go to value town" and take 40% of the pot but am starting to believe that betting close to pot is more profitable. However, if you can get someone to call a ridiculous over bet then it more than makes up for all the folds that you get. This is a great topic for debate which Stuart seems to be an expert on.
I didn't see his hand here so I guess that he picked up a flush or full house or maybe he just believed that I was at it.
When shortstacked towards the end of a tourny,at what stage do you look to get all of your chips in? 10bb ? Or less?
And when you do get them in, how much of your decision is influenced by your hand, and how much is it finding the right spot ?
Foxes!!!
Not for changing gears, but they will nick your shoes!
Its the smell & leather, we've lost loads, they are prob under a bush at the end of a garden, bit chewed mind!!
LOL!! GL Anna X
& GL Stuart
ps. cya fri nite at Luton, bring summat PINK!!
As for switching gears, it's something i've struggled with and am now reading up and watching some videos on how to do this more effectively.
I've always found it easy if i've got a less than an average stack or a shortstack, but when i've got a bigger stack I have tended to sit too tight when I should be applying pressure and calling shortstacks shoves wider in the right spots.
I for one am glad the new studio won't be broadcasting in HD. Remember for every Anna we have an Orford or a Tikay! Scary!
Have fun all
