A seat with a difference - nothing to do with Poker this time.
I will start a thread on the Punters Lounge - Poker Chat section - named "freeroll seat 4" .
And all you have to do is to post the answer to this question -
What was the answer when the Cloud asked a famous person a question???
The first correct answer (word for word), grabs seat four.
This is not a trick question.

The Players - Episode 6 : Pocket Lady
Your best moment in Poker?
Winning a seat in the 1st Betfair Grand Prix Final (as neither myself or Mr V had ever played live).
Your worst moment in Poker?
Going all in with AKs in the 1st Betfair Grand Prix Final and being knocked out by the BB who held 52o- ffs.
What is your main goal in Poker?
To play well enough to earn enough to test myself against the Pro's.
A one line word of advice you’d give to a new player?
In the beginning do not spend your own money - get to grips in MTTs with freerolls 1st.
Your favourite hand?? (If you want to reveal it!!)
Pocket Ladies of course!
Favourite poker site?
Sporting Odds (where I have won the most money).
You enter the Big Brother house – who would be your three ideal housemates??
The hilarious Terry Pratchett to write books for me/keep me entertained.
Ainsley Harriot to do the cooking AND washing up.
Billy Blanks to help me excercise because of all the sitting around reading and eating.
Which TV/Film actor would play you in a movie?
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Pocket Lady v Valiant 23 – heads up. Who wins????
Mr V - I recon (he's had alot more experience heads up).
What is your pornstar name? (Name of first pet followed by mothers maiden name)
ClawClaw Skzrypzcak.
Worst record you have ever bought?
errrrrrrrr rather embarrased - Seven Tears - Goombay Dance Band.
You’ve just won the lottery. What’s the first thing you buy for yourself ??
4 Tickets to the SuperBowl - my fellas deserve a trip like that.
Pocket Lady would like to thank all PL'ers for the messages/cards and flowers during her recent hospital visit, and a big big thanks to Mr. V for the 315 miles plus that he travelled to visit her (and that is despite her love for the Goombay Dance Band)

Freeroll Seat 3 - Pure Class Or Not
Seat 3 is now upon us - and this time quality is rewarded. Only the best will win this one - the best poker player (BPP). The player who holds this title at the end of Wednesday 22nd November will have one hand on seat 3.
However - there is a catch. If this player is not still number one at the end of Friday 24th November, then the player ranked 25th in the rankings at the end of Friday 24th November will take the seat instead.

The Players : Episode Five - Jaded
Your best moment in Poker?
Taking down a $98 pot in 2-7 triple draw yesterday was probably it - partly because I'd only just learnt to play the game, and partly because my opponent was some guy wearing lizard sunglasses who people seemed to think was pretty good... what was his name... Greg Raymer?
Your worst moment in Poker?
Was close to the money in a big tourney a few months ago, can't remember the exact tournament but it was one of the biggest I've played - I've blocked as much as possible out! I was 2nd, chip leader on my table as well, and I think it was 10 players paid with 2 tables of 6 left. I find rockets, make a small raise, get reraised, shove, and get called by pocket cowboys. K on the turn, and I'm out of it!
What is your main goal in Poker?
To have fun and learn to play a variety of games.
A one line word of advice you’d give to a new player?
Be aggressive, it confuses the hell out of people.
Your favourite hand?? (If you want to reveal it!!)
Hmmm... Razz I REALLY like (A2)K, because people have no idea what you're doing when you raise with it, but the A2 gives you some chance of taking down pots. Hold'em I rarely care what hands I get, as most people who've played me have noticed!
Favourite Poker Site?
Love Pokerstars these days, especially with the Triple Draw added. I really enjoy the HORSE and HOSE games there as well.
You enter the Big Brother house – who would be your three ideal housemates??
Hmmm... Shane MacGowan, for a drinking buddy.Willie Nelson, to provide entertainment.Keira Knightley, for conversation. (Just conversation, honest!)
Which TV/Film actor would play you in a movie?
Johnny Depp, the classiest actor of his generation.
One thing you are scared of ?
The number 13, for some bizarre reason. (I just KNOW there's gonna be some weird raises next time people play me once they've read this!!)
What is your pornstar name? (Name of first pet followed by mothers maiden name)
Monkey Edwards (Never had pets so had to use a cuddly toy from when I was 3!)
Worst record you have ever bought?
Ummm... probably has to be Westlife's double A side, I Have A Dream/Seasons in the Sun
You’ve just won the lottery. What’s the first thing you buy for yourself ??
The most expensive champagne I can find!

Funnies
There's a guy who is a Punters Lounger . One morning, he hears a voice in his head. The voice says, "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
He ignores the voice.
Later in the day, he hears the voice again."Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
Again, he ignores the voice.
Soon he hears the voice every minute of the day. "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
He can't take it anymore. He believes the voice. He quits his job, sells his house, takes all his money, and flies to Las Vegas.As soon as he steps off the plane, the voice says, "Go to the Horseshoe."
He goes to The Horseshoe.
The voice says, "Put all your money into a World Series of Poker (WSOP) entry."
He puts up his $10,000 and buys an entry into the WSOP.
He goes to his assigned tournament table. The first hand is dealt and the guy is dealt AsAd.
The voice says, "Go all in."
He pushes his entire $10,000 bankroll into the pot. Three players call.
The dealer lays down the flop which is 8h9h10h.
The voice says, "Shit."
A guy was playing 10-20 holdem and was down about 300 dollars when he looked down beside the table and saw a little green leprechaun.
"Quit playing poker forever right now and I'll give you a pot of gold worth a million dollars.", said the little fellow.
The player replied, "Let me get even first."
Four cowboys were at an old saloon in Tombstone playing poker. A lot of money was at stake as the cards were dealt, and each was keeping a sharp eye on the other. As one of the players called the hand and laid out his cards, another one stood up in amazement. "Hey, George is cheatin'. He ain't playin' the cards I dealt him!"
Imelda won the scariest character in poker poll!!!!
He ignores the voice.
