Best contribution/question for the Boatman’s will receive free entry into the 5K Open on Tuesday 1st May.


Oh and here's a fact for your fact pipe, only one of the Hendon mob is actually FROM Hendon so what nicknames have you known stick?  Could be your poker alias could be a nickname for a mate that they've had YEARS 'Gorgeous George' 'Chinese Alan' let us know!

Here's the rundown for Tuesday nights Pokertainment!

10pm Chat Box: We'll be talking EPT Berlin, UKIPT Nottingham and Mike Sexton calling out fellow poker pros on lack of professionalism, in particular their dress sense!  Do you agree?  Would it bother you to watch a televised final table with all the players in flip flops and shorts!?  INCENTIVE ALERT: Best contribution to the chat box topics receive free entry into Thursday’s 12k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter

    Questions for Ross and Barney

    Did they have any idea that late night poker would transform the world of poker in the way that it did?

    Was the transition to online poker smooth or hard to come to terms with?

    Do they still play live against the likes of Jacarama?

    What skills do they admire about each others play?

    What are the chances of a televised Cash Game with some of the UK's old school and a special invitation for Tikay?

    Having been there seen it and done it! What aspect of poker gives them the biggest rush and what ambitions have they yet to achieve?

    I have absolutely no doubts this show will be TV Gold looking forward to it immensely!

    Easy/boring question for them - What is THE single most important piece of advice you would give to new and ambitious poker players, would you suggest live or online play for beginners?


    Looking FINE today Sarah :)

    Looking forward to a great show tonight.

    Although ive only been playing poker for about a month i have watched it for years and it all started (like so many other players) with late night poker.

    Can i ask the guys  "now that they are the grandads of the game :) " what main thing have they had to change in their games to keep up with the poker crowd of today who have all of the learning tools and videos at their disposal and at what point did the guys realise that they would have to work harder to stay on top ?

    Also: If you got to the final table of the wsop and had to play 1 member of the hendon mob HU for the bracelet which one would you least like to play (because of the way they play the game).

    Also: In all the years they have played poker if they had to pick 1 person they have played against who they wouldnt be in a rush to play against in future who would it be and why ?

    Question for Carlo:  Did you get a pay rise from sky for being able to get the guys on the show tonight ? and if not you should have ( MAJOR SCOOP mate )

    Have a great show guys and please dont be strangers from 865

    i am looking forward to seeing the great Ross and Barny as guests tonight.  big congratulations to whoever managed to arrange this. 

    as brothers, my question is about claims of collusion.  has anyone accused you of colluding?  how did you respond?

    have a good show.

    Gentleman, lady, Carlo.  Sorry to be negative but earlier in your poker career(or recently) have you ever been in a dangerous situation such as anyone trying to steel from you, or realised you were in a privet game where things could get ugly?  If so any stories unless you're mentally reliving them (if this is the case sorry for breaking the guests)?
     If that's a little dark for the tone of the show (my bad) or not something you can broadcast then have you ever been involved or witnessed a crazy prop bet that went awry, if so what?

    Talking of prop bets gone awry, how about a Finding Nemo costume for Carlo? Would match his fake tan brilliantly :)

    A question for the brothers. How were you both percieved as poker players at the start of your careers? Barny were you taken more seriously as a player than your brother and Ross did you find it harder to get yourself established as you came from acting?

    Have a good show folks?
    For Carlo...when is the poached egg bet happening? We want it filmed!!! !)k for Great Ormond street isn't it? My and others appreciation to you, i'm sure. Good luck Carlo!!

    What football teams does everyone support and to what degree? Chelsea? Hope not as they'll be watching it on ipads instead of concentrating!!

    Funniest happening at a live tournament?

    Best player you've actually played against/with in your opinions?

    As a new player of less than 1 year, what piece of advice would you give to improving my play. I'm playing lowish level DYM's and MTT's. Should trying different variations/plo/hu/cash help or concentrate on the basics for a foundation be my aim?

    Hope these q's help

    All the best

    With the demise of Full Tilt and dark shadows cast over the poker world.

    As respected old school professionals with proven track records playing at the highest levels.
    How do Ross and Barney feel the Professionals linked to the Full Tilt aquitted themselves?
    What do they think should been done at the time to improve the situation?

    If Full Tilt resurrects from the ashes would they personally have any reservations about playing Full Tilt sponsored events?
    Have the professionals from Full Tilt gone down in the Boatmans estimation? and would they think twice about playing them in a cash game?
    Finally what are there thoughts on the man linked to the proposed take over?

    I think my wording could be a lot better and i'm sure parts are too sensitive to answer !
    Sarah please work your magic!!

    Hi Sarah And Carlo

    Noticed that Carlo is as white as his teeth 2night. Where has all the colour gone.
    What was he eating whilst he was in Malta.
    Carlo talking about people got dressing probably and here is he turning up not
    glowing like a beacon!!!! Think his standards has slipped Sarah, shouldn't he making
    a proper effort tonight as we have poker royality on the show tonight.
    Also views regarding all this business regarding Pokerstars would be interested.
