What a line up on tonights show!

With the presentation skills of Stillhair, the poker Expertise of EdG and the guest appearance of....Me.  ;yippee;

oh crickey!..and that on the day I get sky installed...I wonder if it's too late for me to cancel :)

Good luck Ed. have you ever been on the telly before ??

Defo be introduced at "Poker enthusiast" lol

crap sky didn't get installed today because the guys can't get access to the roof....looks like I'll miss this one...won't get sky till next week now :(

Any ideas as to why they have capped the entries at 400

Tried to register and the event was full, is this going to be a regular occurrence?

I would imagine it's to ensure the final table happens before the end of the programme.

It only just got to 400 a couple of mins before 9pm last night....best to make sure you register early evening...especially with tonights superstar celeb pro !!

Just read your profile Ed - they seem to have omitted a few words.   Fixed it now  :)up:

He is best known for going on about winning the television show "Casino Casino: The Real
Deal" and the jackpot of ,000.

Good luck!!!

My pals are sky digital installers, did you act like a tosser?

Usually if they dont like someone they say theres no alignment and go.

good luck dan

They are now introducing a second, and parallel Tourney, hence "capping" The Open at 400, which should ensure it get finished before the show ends.

More changes, including a greater varierty of types of Televised Tourneys, are on the way.

lol..nah..the neighbour took the key to the roofhatch with her on holiday...

Wel, obviously. One cannot possibly go on holiday without next door's roofhatch key, now can one?

Well had a superb time and to anyone thinking about giving it a try I would say go for it.
I stayed in a Travelodge which was less than ten minutes walk and found the studio no problem. Well looked after by everyone involved in the show, a very friendly bunch and drinks & nibbles in the Green room.
I was stunned to find that comedian Andy Smart sitting next to me was on the same table in the toruney, guess it can't be avoided. I was also set to talk tactics with him when after two minutes he had pocket aces. A raise and reraise followed and he went all in and found two callers.
 Qd Qc
and
 Ks  Jd
Not sure if this was a fish like move or a bounty hunting move.
Andy looked to me for reassurance and agreed that not much else he could do and was ready to celebrate a triple up, but he actually ended up with the worst hand!
 Kc Jh 4c Ts 9d
I was doing ok early on and was 2nd on my table until Pinkie joined my table. Pinkie then appeared to be an all in merchant and any limp or raise by me was wiped out and i had to fold. Eventually another player tired of this and called his all in move, only to find Pinkie with pocket Kings. This made my task even harder. I had also understimated the impact of having a bounty on me.
I then had
 Qc Ac
and the flop had two clubs and I lost more chips chasing a flush, but made a fold post turn but had lost a third of my chips. I was then up and down and won some chips with a straight, but still around 100 chips when the blinds reached 150/300 and at this point I struggled. Hoping for a hand to push in with that never came and in effect I was blinded out. No dodgy hands or bad beats to speak of and out in 170th out of 400.
I then went on to play in 3 celeb sit n gos. In all three I played fairly well, but first game I had a big hit when I hit top pair only to find a player had slow played pocket kings. Second game I had pocket queens and called with K-10 and a king hit. Come midnight they said the celebs could go, I think they were both a little fed up with bad cards. But at this point I was on the final table of the sit n go (12 entrants). I ended up heads up against a player that had tripled up and had a massive lead over me. I clawed back a fair amount of chips until I went all in with mid pair and he had top pair. Made 2nd and covered the entries for the sit n go's, not that it was my money but wanted to show that i wasn't as bad as my MTT performance.
All in all a fun evening and Johnny and Ed were on form and all seemed to go very smoothly. Nice one.  :)up

you never know when you might need it in spain, I guess. :(

You looked like you had a good time :)

Just to let you all know - Sky Poker are trying to find the right number of players to provide a good experience for you and an enjoyable watch for viewers. We all want to be able to see the final table, and unless we go crazy with the blinds, we're probably looking at around 300-400 runners. That's why entry is capped at 400 and why the Velocity was launched.
We're still experimenting, so keep the ideas and comments coming.
Hope it warms up over there in England. It's really sunny here in South Miami Beach.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That'll be the Feltham end of Miami Beach, yeah?
