Another five hours of live poker on channel 865 tonight...assuming the studio lights work!

The fun starts at 7pm. Highlights include: Redmond analysing MY play in a Bounty Hunter tournament (at 8pm), a Sky Poker School lesson on playing mid pocket pairs in MTTs (at 9pm), and selected hands from the £12.5k Primo (at 11pm).

So, what do we need from you?

QUESTIONS
Be they related to our Sky Poker School topic, other aspects of tournament strategy, cash games, or general queries about the weird, wild and wonderful world of poker.

HANDS
If you're playing on a televised table, and would like a particular hand discussed on-air, please send us the Hand ID, the name of the game it's taken from, and the reason why you want it analysed.

       I have a Question for Redmond


       My goal this month is to hit 5000+ Cash for Points this month (day ave 162) by playing 4x nl10 over 8 hours, also sometimes i Sat into Main Events  but thats just a Bonus, Mainly my C4P will come from Cash Tables. 

      My Question

       Is it better to split up the 8 hours of Cash Table play or play it in one go?? (atm i play 2 sessions).

      Your thoughts please


      Michael

    Have a great show all.

    Best music, Depends on how I want to play.  If I want to be super aggro then some early Metallica, Ride the lightning or Master of puppets on loop will do the trick.  If I want to play tight then something relaxing, Sinatra for example.  NEVER listen to J Hartigan rapping.  Thats a sure way to put you on tilt for the night!

    Best TV show, Obviouly anything on channel 865.  I'm supprised anyone watches anything other then the best TV channel on sky.  Its educational and entertaining at the same time, by far and away the greatest channel ever made and it just keeps getting better.  On an entirely unrelated topic..... any chance of a freebie ;)

    Best film, Nothing that makes you concentrate too much, you don't want to get too engrossed in it and lose focus on the poker.  The Transformer movies would be a good choice.  A bad choice would be This is Spinal Tap.  Way to funny to watch and play poker.

    Best food, online then anything filling and not messy, fruit, sandwiches are both good.  Fried chicken bad unless you want a greasy keyboard.  Playing live then you should never eat at the table an anyone doing so should be shot.  Don't you agree James??

    Best other activity?  Well if I'm not listening to music, watching telly or a film or stuffing my face while playing poker then I'm sleeping.  Sleeping while playing poker is NOT a good idea!

    Hi james and redmond. Have a great show.    Can u show this hand please.     My question is is this a good spot to 3-bet in position or just flat call ?.     I have had alot of feedback on poker clinic which is great and some good advice. Also when i get 4-bet is this a flat call here to set mind.    When flop comes a good flop for 8s .       May i add i think but is it a good flop vs a 4-bet preflop.       The villain bet small on flop which i thought was weak  should i just call every street and let him bluff of try get showdown as cheap as possible.  I know this is a good flop for me but if i raise am i only getting better hands calling me here. Thoughts please redmond lee a great analyst by the way who i respect very much as a player from seeing him play high cash when i see your tv shows heres the hand ID  487400453    p.s  looking forward to the omahartigan league which starts tomorrow good mixed games low buy ins and can win some great prizes looking forward to it :)

    Question for Redmond, with the vegas sat`s up now which level do you buy-in for and how many times do you try, also if you don`t qualify will you buy-in direct ??
