Tonight is the first show! Cant wait, Should be great... Sky Sports2 at 10pm i think.

"BURNLEY" John Falconer

Steve Jelinek

Joe " The Joker" Grech

Juha Helppi

Dave " El Blondie" Colclough

Phil "The Unibomber" Laak

Nick "El Baldie" Gibson

"Gorgeous" George Harle

Whose your pick? I like the way Nick plays and Joes style suits single tables if he gets chips!

ta for the reminder, I just gave Skyplus some work to do :)

are you taking bets mate, i would like a straight forecast please ;)

I'll take bets but not those with inside info!

Maybe someone wants to make an imaginary book again? Where is tightend when you need him!

Less than half an hour, upgraded sub just to see this.

Are we not supposed to remind RED DOG about this

Well done Dewi... come on then who are your picks!

 :D :D :D :D

 :redcard:

Thanks Guys, but I dont subscribe to sky sports  :(

I'm gutted

Is it on sky sports 1?

can't watch untill 11pm. Someone is watching History channel at the moment. Sharing a house has major disadvantages when it comes to fighting over TV rights..

Its repeated at 1.30am...

What a PASS by Nick with the AQ, I know John is tight but come on!

but passing AK then! Phew

Loved the bit were he introduced Laak to "limpers tax"

Yes it was good... he got my line in before me lol!

Yes AK was a big pass but that is how he plays! Did'nt like the 10k allin by ElBlondie... the raise was only 1200.

They have done this well tho, loving the show...

Don't like that call by Jelly!

Alot of chips... and laak wasnt doing that with out at least having his flush draw covered!

Its easy when you can see the cards...

Loved the Unibomber " I am either going to be a chump or a genius", I will have to remember that one.

Cant believe we gotta wait another week for another heat!!  LOVING it.  Gamblor - when is your heat on?

mine and your "Great" Uncle's is in 2 weeks, we played in the 3rd heat... I cant wait to see the rest especially the one's i watched live at the studios!

Damn it, my uncle asked me to go with him but i was working!! What a fool - should ave faked illness for a couple of days  ;D

Yes the Sniffles is a great excuse... used many times when i was at school... and college... and Uni! Good times!

You could have hung out with Reddog and me Chili.

We might be in some of the crowd scenes or tittering in the background during Phil Laak's interview  >:?

Its no good hearing stories about that now.  Too late boo hoo.  I did hear about Laak's interview though.  They wouldn't show it would they?

 Hi Chilli, if you mean the I/V he did with me for Poker425, that hasn't been passed on to Sky. Whether it will see the light of day on 425 or not is another question. To be honest, to try & cut it to anything entertaining is going to be difficult & I'm not sure it would not show Phil in the best light. I guess we'll have to wait & see!
 
 Hope this doesn't count as spamming but if anyone has missed the show tonight (including me!) here are the repeat times:

18th January 01:30 Sky Sports Xtra 1
18th January 11:30 Sky Sports 2
18th January 15:00 Sky Sports 3

They should have shown the sit and go back at the Hilton after that heat :)  the apple pie could have been exposed to millions :D

Did we evr find out what 'be the spoon' means?

Did they include the "Steeeeeeeeeeeeve" moments ??

Hi Phil, hope you are well. what do you think of the finished product so far? from what I've seen, it looks great - you must be very proud

Yes the show was great, Presentable make great poker shows.

i really enjoyed it, well done all.

at-it, jelly played great i thought but i think he should have given himself a big extra out and moved-in first on the turn - that unibomber looks like he could lay down a big hand esp on the telly!

Julian i thought he played great until then! He prob mixed it up more than me in my heat... I was very impressed.

Just that final hand let him down, he was playing great and didnt need to play the hand like that! Calling off all those chips... Laak Played well but 2 people moving in on him when he had aces helped! He's a nice guy tho, if not a little crazy.

aa, aa, kk....sweet

& i liked his winning a tournament analogy; tying to catch a fish with your hands.

andy black was refreshingly honest, and i know lucy won't hold back when it's her turn, gulp.

I enjoyed Andy Black's commentary. Jessie May put a quip in that I enjoyed, when using the Star Wars analogy, he comments "Well John Falconer in no Princess Leha (sp?)" How cruel  :D

Yes i am now officially worried about the commentary lol... Do you think we can sue if we don't like it?

I really hope my passed hand is edited out! Lucy is probably going to tear the table to shreds from the commentary box, and get in a moan about internet poker too lol...

Really looking forward to some of the Ram hands, especially his allin vs Joe and Luke! He had to be bluffin...

I really enjoyed this - it was great to see some proper poker played on TV and to be able to hear the players talking.

its back on sky sports 2 just now, nick just gone

DC short stacked calling a Min raise with 2 3 hearts!!!! What a fish.

Flopped the straight lol

Tony G anyone? ;ifm;

"Heat 2 to be shown next week looks especially mouth-watering as it includes no less than Donnacha O'Dea and Roy "The Boy" Brindley from Ireland, 1998 WSOP winner, Scotty Nguyen, the ultra-aggressive Tony G from Lithuania, France's Pascal "Triple P" Perrault, and WPT winner, Roland de Wolfe. This sounds like unmissable poker entertainment!"

Does Burnley John always show his hands?
Don't like it myself.

Maybe he figured that they'd see them anyway (on TV) so if he showed them there and then he'd be able to make a move later as they wouldn't suspect anything?

i like to show occasionally, at selected tactical times.

Who won the 1st heat then? I fell alseep when there were 3 left.

Mr Phil Laak.

Can you recall what happened on the hand where Laak had QQ and the flop was 9 T J. That's the last hand I remember before nodding off.

Cheers

Jelly called Laaks bet, turn came a 3rd heart, and Laak moved all-in, Jelly calls with the QT. River is another 9.
Laak then beats Burnley john when the Unusual Suspect runs into Laak's KK with 87.

Thanks  :)up

The next heat of Party Poker tourny is on Channel 5 in 40 mins too.
