You've asked for everyones 'Phone Numbers' several times Mr Orford. Are you just trying to get a few numbers to fill the contacts list on a new phone? Or are you genuinely looking for someone to come on the show to be exciting and informative? If its the second then count me out as I'm neither exciting nor informative.lol. Looking forward to a great show tonight and due to the fact that I've not yet attended an SPT, I'll be looking forward to hearing from Mr Prew for the first time. I'd like to ask him how someone with no writing/presenting experience could get into the world of Poker Magazines and Commentary? I have always wanted to be a writer but hadn't found a subject matter that interested me enough to want to write about it. I love Poker and would appreciate any advice from yourself and your guests on how to get into the business. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
MR ORFORD CAN HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER ANY DAY,BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT THE NUMBER IS DRAT AND DARN IT :):):)I WILL HAVE TO LOOK MYSELF UP IN THE PHONE BOOK,SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK AFTER I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE SMITH NUMBERS XXX
Wow! So many to choose from. I have been to 13 events!
I think my favourite memory (apart from watching many friends go deep and final table- Sian yorkie74 in Notts in 2011 for example) wierdly has to be my most embarrassing memory...
Edinburgh 2009
Rich Orford, i think you will remember this... I had been tight on my table and people knew i had been to Vegas in 2008 with sky... anyway, i decide to 4 bet jam with Jack Three offsuit.. And i get snap looked-up by ACE 10 preflop. Tikay looked disgusted and asked me if those cards were mine! I shamefully admitted my mis-step, dont forget i had travelled from Folkestone, so surely i wouldnt donk out with junk.... Oh yes i would... Then Everton beat Spurs to make my day even better! Had stick about that J3 ever since, and it is my favourite "fun" hand to play to this day...
SPTs are tremendous fun, I look forward to them as they are usually my only holidays and to mix with all levels of players from all of the sites and different characters is great. Had hours and hours of laughs at the SNG tables with TKP, the squaddies and loads of others.
Bring on number 14.
Question for Rich Prew, Why do attractive young women (and solack) always win your "tighty" sit and goes?
I have two lasting memories from the SPT's, One losing , One winning
The first was at SPT Glasgow , two years ago..... getting it all in with Aq against Daiboot's A 10 with two cards to come, we were about 3 or 4 off the money and which ever of us won would be chip leader........ along comes Tikay. "all Jock has to do is avoid a 10".... Bang 10 on the turn. out I go ;o)
The second moment was 4 betting Julian Thew, on the Final table of SPT Leeds. Julian turns over K5 i had aces and doubled up.... Oh I enjoyed that... especially Tikay screaming... "Oh JOCKS GOT ACES" In the back ground
Meeting and shaking hands with someone from the site and then later overhearing them say "they'd run out of toilet paper in the hotel so had to use their hand".
Most memorable SPT moment? Meeting and shaking hands with someone from the site and then later overhearing them say "they'd run out of toilet paper in the hotel so had to use their hand". Junior hacksaw to the rescue..... Posted by NoseyBonk

artetas play preflop was ok with the stack sizes so deep, but such a passive/ fishy player sorry just my thoughts depending on what reads u have on the player ie lag.
new here and watching sky tv while playing the 3.30 bounty can i just say artetas play preflop was okish saying they where so deep but his flop turn river play was weak passive/ kinda fishy scared
My outstanding SPT memory has to come from Newcastle last December. I was fortunate enough to make the final table, and hit a few cards at opportune moments to make the final 4.
I'd been very passive, and so now it was time to switch gears. Hazzer raised from under the gun, and I decided that I would shove from the small blind with the monster that is 2 3 off suit. The big blind folded quickly, and Hazzer looked me in the eye fo a nanosecond before calling.
He flipped over JJ (loose call imho) - well I was live...barely.
The flop came with the J the first card out - J 10 7. I had no flush draws, that was it. I'd have been mortally wounded in the tournament. Out in 4th most likely. Then Tikay pipes up - of course 8 9 will give a chop on the board. The dealer turned me an 8. It was still possible...the river....could it be? Should it be? Of course, she turned over the 9.
Pandemonium all round the card room. I jumped up and hugged the dealer (in a probable break of protocol). The fortune allowed me to ladder 1 place, and hazzer went on to win (so no harm done there, then!)
