Sky Poker TV Live: next show this Tuesday with Richard Orford, Redmond Lee and Neil Channing!
Comments
I've always wondered why people seem so reluctant to make themselves at home. It's a five hour show and you're sat on a sofa - I'd have my feet up with a pillow and maybe a duvet and half way through I'd have my dinner on my lap.
Anyway, I'd just like to pick up on something Neil just said about Rastafish's 67 of spades hand, calling in the small blind against Rob Yong:
I post on the forum quite alot. I find that even some of the better players don't seem to give enough credit to the importance of position. They know that position is important but still make calls out of position very much like that one from Rastafish - the idea being that they can flop a big hand and stack their opponent - but they don't consider that their opponent's pre-flop raising range may not be very narrow so they can't stack them often enough. Even if they hit their hand, it's really difficult to get value out of position.
In a slightly circuitous manner, the question I'm asking is; do you gents think that, as I hear so often, "pre-flop play is largely solved" amongst most decent players?
Thanks for all your posts and emails tonight. They were all great. And normally I would have read out every single one of them, but we had in Neil Channing! Which meant that I could only fit in so many questions amongst the hands because he talks so much!
Of course Neil and Reds were both fantastic on the show this evening and I hope you enjoyed the questions they did answer!
Cheers!
Redmond and Neil are definitely 2 of the best guests/analysts that appear on 861... and you aint too bad yourself
hope you get to do more shows like that
cheers
