    Good evening gentlemen.

    There is a question that I've always wanted to ask of someone like Mr Channing who plays an awful lot of televised poker:

    Mr Channing, do you ever take umbrage at something a commentator might say about you or your play and have you ever sought one of those commentators out? Could this be the reason that James Hartigan isn't in the studio this evening? :)

    If not, do you have any good stories about someone else taking issue with a commentator?

    Have a good show everyone.



    (Nice to have some proper grown-ups in the studio tonight. You wouldn't believe what those other two were tittering about on Sunday's show. It was just a chair in an unfortunate position)

    Proper question on the play if you can squeeze it in:

    On the Rob Yong (5d6d) v Rastafish (Ah4d) with the four diamond board.

    When Rob Yong bets 50 on the river, would either Redmond or Neil like Rastafish to raise there? Does the 4-high flush have enough value for Rastafish to call or would he do better to raise it up and put Mr Yong under pressure? Would it have enough chance of working against Rob?

    Thanks for the answer to my previous question. :)

    Question for Neil.  What's the best way to catch many mice?  My ones seem to just nibble at the bait in the traps but don't apply enough force to set them off.  I've managed to suck a couple up the hoover and release them at the bottom of the garden, but it takes a while to lure them away from the walls and up the pipe.  It's probably not the most efficient way to catch mice.  What do you think?

    Edit: just caught another one.  I just picked it up and chucked it out the back door.  No fear, these mice.

    Evening gents

    My question for Neil and Redmond

    "Have they left tables because they believed their opponents had a significant edge over them?
    If an opponent does appear to have an edge what steps do they take to overcome it?
    or do they just avoid the opponent in future cash games?

    Has Neil any edges over high profile players that he has been grooming for one big occasion?

    Evening Guys!! Fantastic show!! Going back to orford's comment about the football....I have the footie on with you guys on the webstream & the mrs cooking the dinner!!! Does life get any better!!!! My question for Neil is, how long had he been playing poker before deciding to take the game up professionally & how much does he think it had cost him before starting to make a profit on a regular basis??
    Keep up the good work guys!!!

    Enjoying the show on the web, footy on telly....beers chilling!

    Q for both.

    I started off playing poker a few years ago on another site and lost a lot of money on the cash tables. I took a long break before returning to the game via Sky Poker. I am now just a tournament player who is still in profit (albeit small). Do you think to become a big winning player/successful player you MUST be able to play both cash and tournaments?

    Rich - please can you plug 2morraw's Community night. All details are in a thread at the top of the forum, cheers.

    Hi guys

    Really enjoying the banter and analysis tonight

    Just going back to what Neil said about his thought process reguarding Rob Yong when he had floped the str8 v Robs 2 pair.

    If in that situation he knows Rob could have such a wide range that he has most prob missed or is very weak and Neil wants to give him a bit rope to try and extract more value how is it that in a later hand Neil lays down a str8 putting Rob on the 1 hand that has him beat.

    Does Neil think he ended up leveling himself into thinking Rob "HAS TO HAVE IT HERE" ?

    Could i also just add that imo Neil is one of the best cash players ive ever seen so although almost everyone watching the cash game was prob screaming "YOU CARNT FOLD TO ROB" my question is in no way a dig at Neils ability.

    Cheers.

    Daz.

    Evening gents,

    Great to see Neil back on the show, Neil probably wont remember but chatted for a bit in Vegas at the end of one of the days of the main event while Neil was waiting for Kevin Williams.

    Questions for Neil

    What are your thoughts on bum hunting in cash and its effect on the long term poker economy? By this I dont mean table selection which makes sense, I mean players who only play when they have a massive edge over opponents.

    Also, what are your views on the long term poker ecomomy of the sun glasses and head phones MTT brigade?

    Matt

    Question for Neil...

    I know you really want your first WSOP bracelet, so if you were HU in a WSOP event and a potential deal was on the table for you to take 'the win' (and bracelet) what % of cash would you concede for it, or as nice as a bracelet is, is the money more important?

    OR would it be meaningless to you without having actually earned the win yourself?

    Hi all.  Just got back in from work and I'm delighted that Mr Channing is back on.  Marvoulous.  If Neil did have to walk onto a song by the smiths then surely he should of chosen heaven knows I'm miserable now!

    My question for the panel.  Do they think that beards should be encouraged in poker?  They can hide your facial expressions well and, if you grow them for a bit, you can hide aces in them.

    I could sit for hours and listen to Neil and Redmond talk about poker.  If you can't learn something from tonight then you may have to think about giving up the game.

    Run well all and have fun

    Loving the show tonight Gents!

    Both Redmond and Neil are superb advocates of the game and I could literally listen to them for hours.

    Question for both:

    "What is the future for the female game - both short-term and long-term?"

    Hey guys, just in, but have skyplussed tonights show...

    Just a quick question, during the show Neil hut a diamond flush 3 times against rasta, when rasta was sitting with good hands 2x2pair, and trips. In another hand Carlo Citrone has 2 pair and thought for ages before calling, opponent had a straight.

    Loved the £995 you get change from a £1000!!

    My question is, what is the best way to play a strong hand, but no where near the nuts, like 2 pair or a set when there is 3 cards to a flush out.

    The other day, I had KQ , flop came 56K rainbow, i raised pre 4 x bb, opponent bet, i called, the turn came a queen, opponent bet 3/4 pot and i shipped, he snapped me off with trip 6s.

    dont think I got an answer to my second question to Neil, would be good to get the younger players view on it too...just to clarify that is Redmond and not you Rich!
