A yuletide yo to you all once again!

Hope you're still enjoying your Christmas week and hope you're enjoying Christmas UKOPS! 

Last night was immense with record-breaking figures in the games and loads of you tuning in and interacting with the show!

If you need bringing up to speed then let me tell you that this week we're airing a very special sequence of broadasts from Sky Poker TV as we go LIVE for FOUR nights in a row to bring you dedicated coverage of the big games every night up to and including the main event itself on Sunday 30th.

Which means we're back tonight for NIGHT 2- the £20,000 Roller!

The tourney starts at 8 and the tourney lobby is here

Now, if £110 is a a bit too pricey for your BR, then look out for all the satellites running constantly between now and kick-off time...

    ...as for your TV coverage, well, it's another five hour Christmas blockbuster hosted by myself, Richard Orford and Stuart Rutter.

    From 7 till 8 we'll bring you all the highlights of the final table from last night's UKOPS 1 main event!

    And then, from 8 it's UKOPS 2 all the way, along with phonecalls with players and loads of interaction from you at home.

    Hand requests from the game, messages of support for players, stories of how you satellited in and progress reports, along with all the usual stuff should be posted on this thread, sent to skyopen@bskyb.com or tweeted with#skypokertv

    We also have 4 seats to give away for the next night's UKOPS 3 mini event.

    They'll go to good hand requests from UKOPS 2 and our favourite answers to these questions:

    What 's your general New Year's Resolution?

    And what's your poker New Year's Resolution?

    Get your answers in for that and I'll see at 7pm tonight!

    Hi Rich and Stu - or if i may say so the new sky poker dream team, the 1st show you did may have been forgettable (at least for rich it was) but ive very much enjoyed the shows you two chaps have done so far. So heres to 5 hours as good if not better than last night (which was awesome btw).

    general resolution - to keep smoking all year, its contributing taxes

    poker resolution - to try and play the rush as im often guilty of locking up after good results then complaining about variance when it turns

    General New Years Resolution - Lose weight. Poker and nibbles is not good for weight control.
    Poker Resolution - Handle the bad beats better. Ashamed to say I sometimes have a rant in the chatbox.

    Hello both

    Well done Richard on making it two consecutive nights

    General Resolution - find a woman! This may mean not getting quite so excited in future at my Star Trek Original Series digitally remastered box set!

    Poker Resolution - to have a year like 2011 :-) profitable, not like 2012 unprofitable :-(

    good luck all, hope you run as bad as me

    Hi Rich, its Jay (aka - IWYS)

    Great show last night, watched the full 5 hours whilst playing a couple of UKOPS events.  I finished 10th in the £5.50 mini last night out of 800+ which I am happy with, although a little disappointed not to go further having gone so far.  Took 6 bounties as well which added to my bankroll.

    Tonights schedule - Micro and Mini event and maybe the side event, see how the night goes.

    My new years resolution is to actually stick to the resolution I make, come on, how many of us see them through :)

    Poker resolution - most of the time in the early stages of tournaments I get a good stack, 150-200+ big blinds, and get involved in too many hands, my aim for 2013 is to learn and sit back and pick better spots to get involved.

    Good luck tonight mate.

    Have a great show guys.

    General new yrs resolution - Quit smoking!!!! I will do it this yr!!!!

    Poker resolution - I wouldn't mind having a go at this winning malarky that I keep hearing people talk about.....so I guess that means watching 861 more often :)........(in fact I hope it starts early as I have sat into tonights main for 6 quid).

    Hi Rich and Stuart, looking forward to the highlights of the UKOPS when it gets a little dirtier later on!

    General resolution - To keep a balance between revision for my A-levels and things that I actually enjoy!

    Poker resolution - To dare drift away from the low stakes and dare enter a few beefier tournaments!

    I'm rather interested in what both of your New Year's Resolutions are now :p

    Have a good show guys!

    I have sat into 2 UKOPS events tonight, and brought in direct for the other two. Lost half my stack in Main already after running my aces into quad 8's in about 3rd hand. Will have to grind back up now.

    Nowt out else on tv  so I will be watching the show now :)

    Hi Guys

    My general resolution is to give up making resolutions I can't keep!
    So this year as I'm allergic to beetroot, I'm giving up beetroot! At last after 53 years a resolution i'll succeed with.

    My poker resolution is a lot more fun!
    I'm going to take one discipline a month and only play at that level!
    So January apart from free rolls, I'm going to concentrate on £5 BH + 1 attempt a week to satelllite into the 15k Sky BH
    I'm hoping to meet the same players at the table and learn from my inevitable mistakes by keeping solid records.

    Good evening gentlemen. I hope things are going well for you both.

    My New Year's Resolution is to avoid having my soul once again devoured by a woman. It would be nice to make it through another full year. :)

    My Poker Resolution is to get back in the game after I tilted off MY ENTIRE BANKROLL last night... It's okay, it's not the first time. I'm quite used to it.... *sigh*

    Have a great show chaps. Looking forward to Saturday night Sky Poker again. In the meantime, you two will do. ;)
