It's Tuesday night live with Rich, Tikay and James Atkins! ***official thread***

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
We're shuttling down the runway and getting ready for lift-off for another big live night of Sky Poker TV.

The weather outside is fresh, but dry and we should be off the ground this Tuesday night from 7 o'clock with a landing time of midnight and Channel 865 is your destination.

Introducing your cabin crew for the flight:

I'm Richard Orford- your pilot.


With me in the cockpit will be your co-pilot...my personal flight attendant and general dogsbody- Tikay


and our passenger in the VIP seat will be poker pro James Atkins.



We have a flight time of 5 hours during which we'll be looking ahead to what's on the site that night, taking in another lesson from Sky Poker, rounding up all the latest worldwide poker developments and taking in plenty of your hands.

Questions for James if you please, plus anything else- your thoughts, your poker stories, your general banter and of course your hand requests, taken at any time from a TV table- i.e. Mastercash or main event MTT tables. (Please also tell us which MTT or cash table it's from).

As ever, I'll dish out free entry to a main event for the best contribution via email skyopen@bskyb.com, via Twitter #skypokertv or via this thread. Prize this week is entry into Thursday night's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter worth £33.

Please make sure your tray tables are stowed away and your seat backs are in the upright position. Doors to manual and we'll see you at 7.

OK, I'm done with the aeroplane metaphor- you get the gist. See you there and get writing...

    First question: Have you called it a cockpit because it's all-male in the studio?

    Serious question for James - How do you know whether he's double or triple barrelling after a c-bet, and when he's actually got the goods?

    Embarrassing poker story coming up:
    Many, many years ago (I am an old man) I played in the WSOP. Anyway, a few years ago I was on a solo holiday abroad and they showed coverage of the WSOP on the telly, so I thought I'd tape it with my camcorder. I looked down the viewfinder, put the camcorder on the bedside table and set it to record. Everything OK so far.

    Anyway, when I got home and showed this recording to my mother and my sisters, I was horrified to see a reflection of me in the TV screen, lying on the bed naked, and gesticulating like Gareth Hunt from the Nescafe adverts!!

    So Richard and James, should I drink Nescafe or Maxwell House?

    Morning chaps & chapesses. I've no idea what Orford is banging on about with all this aeroplane stuff, but if he wants to talk aeroplanes, I am his man......

    Quick word about tonight's Guest, James Atkin. For those of you who use Sharkscope, have a gander (but do NOT reproduce here, please) his Sharkscope graph. He plays a lot on 'Stars, as "epitomised".

    A thing of beauty, I think you'll agree.

    Tonight, he can do the analysing, & answer the poker questions, whilst I major on the differences between the ageing & iconic 747, & the all new singing & dancing A380.

    Deal?

    ah yes, it's easy to differentiate between them by the presence of the cracks on the wings.

    Ok gang, we're 4 hours away from our next live broadcast. And don't forget we have a sit and go specialist in the house tonight in the form of James Atkins.

    Let's get those questions in. If you're looking to improve your sng game then here's your chance to ask a man who absolutely canes the game.

    Lots of input please- I've got a five hour show to fill!!!!!

    Remember- best contribution from you guys wins free entry into next week's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter main event!

    See you at 7 :-)

    We need as ever plenty of your hand requests to show tonight and lots we can put to James Atkins to analyse.

    VERY IMPORTANT!

    We can only show hands from tables or tournaments with a TV icon next to them.

    Tonight- the TV icon games are...

    6K Open

    1K mini open

    5K Sky Roller

    Any Mastercash table
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    We also need you to tell us straight off which tournament or table the hand is from, as the hand i.d. on it's own takes too long for our team to find and check during a live show.


    So, when requesting a hand- please do so in the following way...

    State the tournament or Mastercash table, the hand i.d. number and your reason for wanting it shown so we have a talking point.

    Example-

    6K Open
    Hand Id no. 46578394

    Was I right to fold here? My opponent had been extremely tight till now . But I'm worried he took me off the hand with inferior cards.

    Thanks and please get those hands in to us if you want your play analysed live on TV.

    Finally- it doesn't have to be from tonight- the hand can be from the last few weeks as long as it was from a main event or Mastercash table!

    Evening gang, couple of questions if i may. 

    in 180's turbo sit n gos, how much buyins would he recommend, i am a recreational player but do prefer it when my roll is going upwards.

    Do you prefer sitting tight early on which is the standard good Sit n go strategy, or do you think if you have an edge you should be playing quite loose as the worse players are still in early? 

    John

    Me again lol both questions can be either in 9 handed or 6 handed 

    What advice would you get for playing satelites? do you think you should be 3 betting marginal hands early on or just folding for example AQ on SB and CO raises no reads

    When stacks are shallow, where is his ideal spot to shove?? Button, Small Blind?  obviously this will depend on your reads on the blinds and stacksizes but if all was reasonably solid and assuming equal.
