The next five-hour sequence of live programming on channel 865 will feature everyone's favourite Ryan...
No, not that one.

Not even close.

Who he?

That's a bingo!!!

Bizarrely, this will actually be the first time Mr Spittles and I have worked together. So, I'm sure we can incorporate a little "getting to know you" chat...which may just lead to an on-air COMPETITION, with a couple of lucky viewers winning free entry to next Tuesday's £5k Open.

What else is on the agenda?

We'll kick off at 7pm with coverage of a £750 Gtd 30' Timed Tournament. The tournament starts at 7.10pm and costs £5.50 to enter. You can register HERE.

We've got the Poker Clinic at 8pm, so please send us your Hand IDs. In Sky Poker School at 9pm, we'll be discussing crying calls and hero calls in MTTs and cash games, so please contribute your thoughts.

And we'll conclude the evening with Top of the Pots and highlights from the £12k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.

Finally, we're really interested in hearing what you think about the latest improvements to the Sky Poker software (please read THIS).

Remember, there are three ways to get in touch:

    As a player known to like the odd hero call in mtts and cash, mostly in mtts i think this subject willl be sesantional to do.

    One thing ill say about hero calling however is when you get it wrong be prepared to look like an idiot, and how much showing it will change you image on the table. Lots of positives and negitives to that of coarse.

    I wont go into my hero calls however as that would just be bragging. lol :)

    Off said topics, hope that's okay.

    1:  Ryan what do you think about running it twice at the appropriate cash levels, live and separately online (obv not micros or low level ect as farcical)?  Moreover, live if two players run it twice but you have been folded out of the hand on any street yet the pot has a decent percentage of your chips in it, let us say 20% (or a scenario of your choosing) do you have any right to speak out against them running it more than once?  This has not happened to me just found the possibility personally thought provoking as it potentially alters the dynamic pre ect.


    2:  James before poker hit the fan last year due to (shall we say) incompetence, what was your opinion about the direction of televised poker?  What did you think about the gimmicks of face the ace (canceled before black Friday) and the big game?  Should the purist's relax as they are concepts designed to grab the attention of new players?  We also have seen poker with voting off systems (**** Simon Cowell) and even the poker world cup? Can we watch entertaining poker without these additions thanks to a mix of characters and top players or does poker need to glamour future villains?
     Have a grand show gents.

    Hi guys.

    Looking forward to the show once again.

    As for the recent changes to the site sync breaks are a massive + but even something as small as saving the lobby filters is a big help to all i am sure. Well done sky.

    Into my 7th week of online poker now and loving every minute of it and finding that i seem to be learning something knew everytime i play or watch the show.

    I know you asked for posts on crying calls but the hand i have posted is more of a crying bet :)

    I posted it a few weeks ago and it never got shown and i am still struggling to know what to do when in situations like this so thought i would post it again :)

    In the hand itself the guy who is the orig raiser was opening alot of pots from alot of different positions and i thought that my reraise would take down the pot pre but the part i am struggling with and struggle with in general is when i get called in 2 spots.

    I know by not reraising pre i wouldnt be even putting myself in these spots but i am trying not to just play ABC poker 24/7 and become see through to anyone who knows the game well so the question is:

    Do i always have to lead out here into 2 players knowing my hand is so weak or would there be no shame in checking in this situation ?

    I know i luckboxed it and got there on this occasion but this isnt a brag post because on a number of times in different hands things havnt worked out so well or i have had to be firing again on river with king high etc just to try and take the pots down.

    Any advice would be much appreaciated.


    Hand ID:  513630732  action table 24 1/5/2012.


    TYIA

    I think the most important thing to point out is:
    to not get in the mind set at higher cash levels that alot of people will be making 'plays', therefore resulting in trying to 'hero call' alot more. (i.e. moving up from NL4 to NL10)
    I think its vital to know your opponent before you consider this, otherwise i believe its just setting fire to money.

    Hero call against me if you have Queen High or better, it's probably the best hand. :)

    		When I have some free time I'm gonna just grind nl4 for 20k hands to show what nonsense people are saying when they come out with 'the players are too bad to beat'

    It is the most beatable level on the site.

    But it's far easier to blame other people than look at ourselves....

    Crushed 4NL yet? ;)

    Hi James and Ryan.

    Great show so far, Ryan's analysis is excellent as ever.

    I won free entry into the 12k BH via Orfords timed tourney challenge and lasted........9 MINS!

    Hand History #520684930

    Early doors, no info on opponent, should i be folding here or just unlucky?
