Thursday's live show with James & Redmond (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

Hello!

Lots to look forward to. We'll kick off the show at 7pm with live coverage of a £600 Timed Tournament. You can register for that game HERE.

Between 8 and 9pm, it's The Poker Clinic. Our studio analyst and sophisticated hand-masking technology are ready to go, we just need your hand requests. So, please send in Hand IDs (from 'TV' tables only), with background info and specific questions.

We've got an hour of live cash action from 9pm. Then, at 10pm, it's the ten biggest cash pots of the week, in the aptly named Top of the Pots.

And we'll go out on a high. Between 11pm and midnight, expect highlights from Thursday's main event: the £15k Bounty Hunter.

Recently, Richard asked you to name the one single thing which has most improved your game. Many of you cited the advice dispensed on channel 861. So...

What's the single most important thing you've learned from the Sky Poker analysts?

And...

Which topics have we not yet covered / discussed in enough detail on the Sky Poker TV Channel?

There's no time like the present. Suggest a good subject, and Reds will wax lyrical ;)

If you submit one of the FOUR best contributions of the night (as judged by Mr Lee), you'll receive FREE entry to Sunday's Mini Primo.

    Good evening James and Redmond.

    A hand for the clinic, if it pleases you:

    579939952 (18:36 28/10/2012) From the UKOPS 1 Semi Satellite

    Still a long way from the bubble.

    Nothing special pre-flop. On the flop, when I'm led into I assume it's very unlikely to mean that my opponent has trips. I'm thinking that means a flush draw, a middling/small pocket pair or air. It's tough to see what legitimate hand I can represent if I raise here, so I decide to 'float' to see if I can take it away on a wet turn card if he checks.

    I get that wet turn card and my opponent checks. I rule out him having a flush now, as you would usually expect him to keep betting since I can easily be holding a King. I bet and get the call and now a stubborn underpair seems most likely.

    After he checks the river, I decide I'm "in for a penny, in for a pound", even though the river is a terrible card to bluff.

    Is it faulty logic to float and try to represent a strong hand on a wet turn? If not, should I just give it up on the river, believing that he's never going to fold after calling the turn? It's so much money to leave behind.     :' (

    I know, I'm dumb. Should fold the flop.

    Thanks chaps.

    We're not covering the mini bounty hunter this evening. However, If you're involved in an interesting hand that you'd like to be shown on the TV, make a note of the hand ID and post it on this forum and we'll do our best to show it for you!

    Good evening gents

    Couple of things i'd like to see covered in detail.

    1. Out of position bluffing. Really positional bluffing is standard, and the continuation bet in position after missing the flop, is really the easiest bluff of all. From my point of view, the ability to OOP Bluff is what seperates the ok players from the top ones especially as the player doing the bluff is often starting from the premise of preparing in advance, board permitting, of 3 barrelling in the first place. I think Trickett and Duthie are brilliant at this.

    2. Poker Philosophy. I think the thing that seperates all players from each other, is what their game philosophy is. My philosophy is based upon the thought that over the long distance I am going to recieve pre flop AA and preflop 23 exactly the same amount of times as all other players. Now as AA is going to stand up on average 4 out of 5 times when forced to heads up pre flop, my skills (if i have any) are not going to make any difference here. It plays itself. AA KK QQ AK preflop are, as we say, donkey hands, any donkey can play them. So, if i am going to turn a profit long term, i need to win with cards closer to the 23 end of the deck and do this more often than Joe Average. Obviously i don't mean call with them but rather play them agressively as for instance Faux Rockets as Caro would say. Now rightly or wrongly this is my game phiolosophy, sometimes its profitable sometimes its not, and it almost always generates interesting chat comments shall we say. But whats Redmonds philosophy? Carlo's Philosophy, Orfords Philosophy????

    Things learned from Sky. Dont be afraid to push hard into multiple callers pre flop. Girls are distracting (bet Ry Ry's game has fell to pieces since Anna started eye fluttering him on the couch!). Its all about fun, dont enjoy it pack it in, play golf.

    Last thing for the future. Surely Hartigan you can persuade Sky to give you your own Sky Movies show, Ala Mark Kermode had on Beeb a few years ago. Hartigans Sky Movies Review of the Week. I'm sure they could pay you enough to sell your soul and say How The Harry Potter Movies changed your life, or a Affleck Rom Com hits all the high points of a Lemmon / MacClaine combo, or How important it is for Stallone to make Expendables 3. No??? Well move over Hartigan cus i will and  I'll work for free (well nearly)!!

    Have a good show!

    evening gents

    looking forward to a whole night of channel 861. i think that the most important lesson i have learned from the show is how to use position. i would like to have some discussion about c-betting. i have done this so many times with high starting hands only to be beaten by lower value hands which have hit. any advice would be good because i find myself playing more and more passivly now because of this.

    onwards and upwards :-)

    Hi James and Reds,i have just read the post by memfno a very intersting post particularly his Poker Philosophy,a post worthy of some debate i would suggest.

    My question for Redmond concerns microstakes cash,the general advice is to play tight and value bet when you have a hand.What sort of range of hands would Redmond play at microstakes cash.

    For me it's gotta be the simple raise or fold especially at the latter end of an mtt  (on the rare occasion im still in a mtt late on)

    And im sure you already have but i'd like to see one your shows spend an hour discussing omaha and omaha hi-lo. 

    Thanks guys , great show as usual
