Hello all!
Here's the news on our next live show. It's this Thursday night and here's the line-up!
Your pilot is me, Richard Orford and your poker navigator is none other than Ryan Spittles (or Scotty77 as he's known round these parts. Yes THAT Scotty77, the one who probably relieved you of your chips on the tables last night)...

Joining us for one-night only, is our special guest, forum legend and all-round community stalwart, the larger-than-life tour de force that is HITMAN_RV himself- aka Dave Harvey.

And here's the show in a nutshell...
7pm – Tonight on Sky Poker
- A look ahead to that night's big tournaments
- TV Cash hands from the Mastercash tables (look out around 7pm for details on which table we'll be covering first so you can get on TV)
8pm – Poker Clinic
- We really need your input for this- s blitz us with as many hands as you can- anything from the past couple of weeks which you played on a Mastercash table or in a main event. Tell us the details and give us the hand i.d. no.
9pm – Sky Poker School
- Discussing bluffing in cash. Any thoughts? Post them below...
10pm – Top of the Pots
- Always a winner. The top 20 biggest cash hands of the week from the TV tables.
11pm – Sky Poker Highlights
- And finally we'll be covering the final table from that enormous Viva Las Vegas Final from the Sunday night just gone.
We'll have a competition running for a seat into next week's £12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter- it's a revamped version of our disastrous Richard and Judy You Say, We Pay tribute.
We Describe, You Provide!
Ryan, Dave and I will take it in turns to draw a random poker celebrity, poker term, or just a random object/person from a hat and describe it to a caller on the line. Whichever caller identifies the most from the hat in 30 seconds will win the seat.
To play tonight- email your name, alias and contact tel. no. to skyopen@bskyb.com
So, lots of questions for the Hitman and Ryan please, plus your TV table hands please and anything else you think we should mention on the show!
Let's be having those messages then and see you at 7 this on Thursday on Channel 865! Looking forward to it!
Comments
Scotty - Do you think there's value in showing your hand when you take it down on a cash table with a stone cold bluff if you're normally a very straight forward solid player so you get paid off with your strong hands, or should you avoid giving away ANY information?
RV - Who was it that won the DTD for March? Only joking lol. I know your MTT results recently have been pretty great, I assume you're not gonna be modest and say it's just a bit of run good, so what's the latest change you've made to your MTT game which you think has made a real noticeable impact?

Good Luck tonight Dave.. no pressure.
Just a quick update on our Sky Poker School for this evening... we are JUST going to be concentrating on Bluffing in Cash games tonight and NOT on MTTs. We will cover bluffing in MTTs another day.
However, we will still be discussing MTTs in a general sense and picking HITMAN_RV's brains about his MTT strategy!
Thanks,
The SKy Poker TV Team

How and when do you play the small blind in DYM, stt, mtt?
What sort of hands do you call /raise with?
How do you deal with people who will not let you call small blind in a blind on blind situation and insist on shoving all in?
You tend to get advised about playing a super tight strategy in dyms, what are the pros and cons in using the same strategy in mtts?
Win a seat into next week's £12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter- in our a revamped version of our 'disastrous' Richard and Judy You Say, We Pay tribute.
