Tonight's studio guest is Mr Marmite himself, Sam Razavi, & I intend that we spend a lot of the show discussing Heads Up play, at which I gather Mr S excels, & whether he excels or not, he deffo makes a good living at.

Any questions for Sam, please send them to skyopen@bskyb.com

I shall also be giving Level 6 advice on high stakes Heads Up play.

The presenter will be Rich Orford.

9pm, Channel 865.

If we can find the hand(s) in time, I will also try to persuade the Producer to show pleno's spin up from last night.

It is streamed on the internet, which knows no frontiers, even Spain.

No, your hands were not shown last night, but they may be shown later this week.

[pleno1]

also with the Spanish regulation when will be the last chance I can play whilst still living in Spain?

Watched the show last night, mainly to see Pleno spin up    Thought Razavi was pretty good, enjoyed it.

The matter is currently under Review, & it could swing either way. SB&G will only apply if a favourable Tax Rate & Regulatory seystem is in place.

I've collated 32K points on Sky Poker over time but don't have anything to spend them on as the current cash-for-points system is only relevant to points for current months, and the only other purchasable items appears to be freerolls, although I'd have to play over a thousand of them. Are there any plans to increase the options as it's frustrating having all these points in my account, yet nowhere to spend them. Seems pointless having them, if you'll excuse the pun, and I've been tempted in dabbling on Sky again.

[pleno1]

they'll maybe let you use them to play a live comp mate.

Can't remember if it was this year or last but they did run some Viva Las Vegas (WSOP main event seat plus flights, hotel and some spenders) sats involving different level of points to buy in, the top one burning up hefty amounts of points.  It would be nice if this returned next time around and if it was applied to events like the GUKPT.  Fingers are crossed.
