My first reaction to the new layout when showing hands is that it's all a bit too much. I liked it when it was really basic, like mini-view on the site, it made it muche easier to follow. I think there's just a bit too much going on.
It does all look very swish though, just a bit too much for my brain.
I'm pleased that the betting has been tidied up. Raises are shown as the total wager rather than the old format of amount raised on top of the amount previously staked... if you know what I mean.
Things used to be pretty confusing whenever there was a 3-bet or 4-bet, etc.
I'm not keen on the "shooting stars" as you call them. Shiny things distract me from the hardcore poker action.
Just a thought but if they are changing the main lobby,could when after signing in,put somewhere on main lobby, a sign if you have received a PM, I normally get my PMs about 6 weeks later lol because I don't go there very often
You asked for constructive criticism and I'm never short of an opinion.
Is there any way that the blinds could be shown in front of the players? Not so much an issue when people are playing 100BB but in tournaments, particularly turbos, it can help to make clear how much of a player's stack is already in the middle. It would be especially helpful when someone's forced all-in for less than the value of the blinds. Not a big issue but it's the best I could come up with.
Looks grand. Can't wait for it to be the new norm...
I had the pleasure of playing on Sarah Champion's left for an hour on Tuesday evening. I've also played with both of you chaps too. Sarah's my favourite.
Excellent show tonight as far as I know (I missed the first two hours). Carry on.
i have come as either leslie neilson or leslie phillips this evening
as for the new graphics like them in the main the end display of the winner of the hand is perhaps a little unneccessary and over the top but otherwise a welcome addition

Tikay i like the new graphics on t.v BUT please do not bring them for us poker players to use on sky.
Are they just for the t.v?? or are sky going to bring these new graphics to the playing public (i hope not)
great show guys as allways
the new graphics are interesting, going to take a while to get used to them but should grow on us.
have fun
laurie

Ahhhh Charlotte Jackson , Anna Fowler , Sarah Champion and i get stuck with that Richard Orford it aint right you know it just aint....
Glad to see the 'A Team' back together and presenting tonight.
Although I think the caption is Tikay wondering why he's stuck with Orf again and wishing Anna was working tonight!!
Keep up the good work guys, loving the fun as always...now to hopefully finally win a main event
Cheers
