Hi gang,
First show's up for the week and we've got another beauty.
Starting from 7pm it's five hours of poker-fuelled entertainment and heading up the show is myself, Richard Orford and my partner-in-crime (presuming he's actually stopped being ill now) Redmond Lee.
Here's what we have for you...
7pm
Live Master Cash coverage.
8pm
Ask the Expert – So get your questions in plus hand requests from any TV tables, and remember, on your request, we can mask your opponents' hole cards so we analyse the hand from your perspective and try to put a range on the villian.
9pm – Sky Poker School
Topic- Sit And Goes!
We're generating a special 6 seater £10 +£1 SNG in the lobby at 8.45pm and following it all the way with advice from Redmond on how to play them. If you'd like to to be in that game you know what to do!
10pm
Live coverage of the 6K Open
11pm
Finishing off the night with live action from the Master Cash tables
As ever, you can use this thread to post your thoughts/questions/hand requests/ramblings etc etc. Or you can email in to skyopen@bskyb.com or Tweet with the hashtag SkyPokerTV.
And I've got 4 Mini Bounty Hunter seats for Thursday night's game to give away too and they'll go to my favourite answers to these:
(1) Poker idiosyncracies
What do you do when playing poker online or offline that's unique to you?
Do you always sit in the same seat? Do you always have a particular card protector? Do you always enter a live MTT in the third level? Do you go through a particular ritual of actions before announcing your action? Do you switch the chat off on Sky generally but always speak in it when a particular thing happens? Or do you do something else which generally other peope don't? etc etc!
And for a bit of fun:
(2) Xmas Poker Number Ones
In the poker pop chart- what song would be Number 1 this Xmas?
I'm looking for funny/clever poker puns on classic Xmas songs. E.g. Jingle Blinds, Frosty The Snowmen (88), I Saw Mommy Re-Raising Santa Claus, Poker Nuts Boasting On An Open Forum, Do They Know It's A Rebuy? by Band Aid etc etc.
Any tunes you like- whether they're old standards or modern pop songs and if you can't think of one to do with Xmas then just go for any song that you can make a poker connection to e.g. There's No Limit by Two Unlimited. Just as long as it's not the obvious ones please- e.g. Poker Face by Lady Gaga or The Gambler!)
Get creative and look forward to your input!

Sleep In Satellites by Tamsin Archer
Bad Beat It by Michael Jackson
Next question?
I'll stop now...
Nice, Alan. Like it.
Yeah, lyrics are good too, not just song titles everyone!
"With Hoggs on the fire and gifts on the tree, it's time to rejoice in the good that we see..."
Sorry, Gregg! Lol! See you at Luton ;-)
And hes going to see the flop,
watch out for RLT,
You dont know what hes got
better get your chips In,
before you go behind
you never know on the turn,
What he is gonna find,
to late now you fluffed it,
RLT is all in,
your 8's are good for nothing.
so throw them in the bin.
ha im not gonna lie im proud of this
All i want for christmas is U...KOPS
We're leading out with air
We're floating in position on skyyyy
The railers far below are commenting as we fly
I'm folding very tight
I'm grinding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can bluff with anything above Seven Twoooo
Far across the world
The tournaments go by like dreams
The rivers and the turns, the flops and players' steam
Children gaze open mouthed
At Tikay in Santa guise
Nobody, on 861, believes their watering eyes
----------------------------------------------------------------
I could go on, but realise, this is fairly tragic.
Hope Reds is better and you both have a good show
Dan
If he didn't have a full-house, I think I'll cry...
