Thursday Night's Live Show with Rich, Tikay and Matt Bates- + we need your suggestions for Sky Poker

Greetings gang,

Your next live show on Sky Poker Television is Thursday night 7pm to midnight.

Helming it are myself, Richard Orford and an early human prototype from the Neolithic era, Tony ‘Tikay’ Kendall.


Joining us in guest corner will be Sky Poker player and Viva Las Vegas winner Matt Bates.

Lots of input and hand requests from you guys please!

Highlights of the show include Poker School at 9, talking online tells. Have you any to share? Do let us know.

And we’re simulcasting on Sky Sports 4 from 10 with Top of the Pots and coverage of the night’s main event: The Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.

From 7-10pm I’ll be running a comp to give away 3 seats into this Sunday’s Lucky 7s tournament. How do you win? Easy…


In tribute to Euro 2012, simply suggest Sky Poker personnel for our very own Sky Poker First XI.

So it doesn’t get too wordy, maybe just stick to suggesting one or two positions rather than a whole team, and I’ll award prizes to the funniest/cleverest individual player suggestions.

To give you an idea here’s a full 4-5-1 formation that I came up with…

 

GOALKEEPER

Dylan12- massive presence in goal. Fills it admirably.


DEFENCE

Gliterbabe- dependable, unflappable, gets the job done.

Tikay- Slow, ageing warhorse but exactly what's needed to snuff out strikers with boring anecdotes. You won’t get much pass him. Tighter than Tightville.

Nutter5932- Consistent SNG specialist. Solid performer.

Jen Mason- intelligent left-winger who can man-mark any player at tournaments.


MIDFIELD

TommyD- midfield dynamo, and teacher, so would make a good captain. Useful bursts into the box as well.

LolRaise- feared by most teams. Spectacular player who can get forwards and create goals.

Julian Thew- flair player. Able to bink a last minute piece of magic when all the odds are stacked against him

Scotty77- attacking midfielder, aggressive, liable to occasionally get sent off though if tilted.

Sam1986- the Scott Parker role. Has risen through the ranks and will do a job for you. Consistent workhorse. Looks a bit like him too.


LONE STRIKER

LolUFold- world class striker leading the front. Our equivalent of Wayne Rooney. Frightens any defence. ‘nuff said.

 

SUBS BENCH-

Carlo Citrone- legendary player, knocking on a bit, but able to play for at least 20 minutes and rescue the game for you.

Anna Fowler- can offer you something a little different. Luxury player, but maybe worth bringing on if you’re 4-0 up.

 

Right, you get the idea. See what you can do with that! Remember, try and stick to one or two really good positions rather than a whole team, as I won’t be able to read your whole teams out on air. So just go with your best suggestions.

Looking forward to them!

    I would propose Giant as our Peter Crouch.

    Profman as technical director as he would analyse everything!

    Could Anna also double up as the sponge girl??? :-)

    Launder to wash the kit?

    Gadgerno1 - Goalkeeper of course.

    Evilpingu - Team mascot

    You can tell you're a Baggy!
    All the best foulers are defenders!
    and one of the best centre forwards I ever had the privilege to meet was Alan Sniffer Clarke from Leeds UTD.
    The way Carlo sniffs round all the good looking presenters you can't afford to have him on the bench!
    He's never without a good forward line! quite a few of them close to sexual harrasment
    But to his credit he does look a natural born stalker oops striker

    How about Pryce6 in the Mario Balotelli role. A post was put up a while ago that caused a lot of furore(though i had no idea what it was about myself).
    He, just as Mario, has undoubted talented but can cause problems with team mates. Mind you, that mohican would look good at the tables no doubt?

    Goal - DOH -   Solid and will never leave his area.

    Back four - Any 4 Team51 members - nothing will get past them.

    Midfield - All the Hitsquad - To jam it their opponents eyes

    Up front - Thewy & Solly - they never miss

    After five hours of failing to explain the offside rule to Anna, dejected I phoned the Samaritans. Dismally Hartigan answered.  I'm now more depressed than ever, plus I wasted my mobile minutes.

    Hi Rich Tikay & Matt    Hope TK is OK as he looked a bit thin on Tuesday nights show.!   

    I do watch Football and know the offside rule.   I'm no Karen Brady but did predict England's 1.1 draw.  I prefer watching the African League they've got bigger balls and its more exciting.  English football is all back passing and goalless games.  Oops! Hubby's just gone into one.?    Anyway fwiw


                                                  Front row; all the player that won tickets to Vegas.

                                                  Mid field ;  all the player that came second.

                                                  Defence.   all the Mods Kiwini JockBMW , ect

                                                  Goal;      Greghogg    no ball will get passed him.

    Well what did you expect.?    Hugs xxxx

    Lol- sorry Matt. I dropped you for "footballing reasons."

    As for Jen being a left-winger, it was a reference to her politics. Which in fact I am completely guessing about! LOL!

    Sorry Rich - you might have good individuals in your team, but they are not cohesive enough. They wouldn't stand a chance against The (Sky-)Poker Posters

    Goal

    Woogie8688 (a surprise choice, but has proven to be very adaptable and successful at everything else)

     

    Defence

    devonfish5 (impossible to pass him despite an occasional lapse)

    Profman15 (always positive – no pressure too intense)

    Lambert180  (full of energy – will organise the back 4 very efficiently)

    GaryQQQ (ultra-reliable)

     

    Mid-Field

    EvilPingu (has moved back to consolidate his role, but can race into the attack when needed)

    Rancid (EvilPingu’s evil twin)

    TommyD (the Iniesta of SkyPoker)

     

    Attack

    Tintin (can beat the unbeatable)

    Dazler (Razzle dazzle)

    GELDY (too inconsistent to be further back but shows the necessary occasional brilliance to justify inclusion and to confuse the opposition with his unexpected plays)

     

    Reserves

    The rest of the SkyPoker Forum Community – it’s a really deep bench

    Morning Annie, & thank you for your concern. I'm absolutely tickity-boo, thank you, I'm on a diet, & have managed to lose 2st 7lbs in 12 weeks. The diet ends this weekend, so it's almost finished now.

    Your concern, & that of many others who have written to me in the same vein, is really appreciated.

    I have a natural weight "problem" - it just goes up & up if I do not control it, so I have to do this every year. I failed to do the annual diet in 2010, so last year (2011) I had to lose over 5 stone! But I did it, in 5 months flat. I find dieting very easy, but I find putting the weight back on is even easier. I have been doing this "annual diet" for over 30 years now.  

    xx

    A Team of Sky Poker "Talent"

    Goalkeeper     Tikay           - The "safe hands" of Sky Poker

    Defense        Scotty77       - Nothing gets past him ( in hand analysis) Really                                                                growing into the role

    Midfield         Lolufold         -  The creative genius ( when it comes to starting 
                                              hands) 

    Midfield         Rich Orford    -  The ever present ( or it seems like it) Makes the 
                                              team tick (tock in Timed tourney's)  

    Attack          Anna Fowler    - The "Star" striker & perfect in a Penalty/Photo
                                              shoot out

    Sub               Matt Bates       - A totally unknown quantity ( cos the others are                                                              all in Vegas)



    ps Sorry I couldnt find a spot for Carlo - beacause its not " A never ending game"

    Mike
