Devise a show...

Imagine you are Sky Bruce. You've got the power to make TV shows for Sky Poker. They obviously tend to be about poker, but aside from that the world is your oyster.
What kind of show would you bring to Channel 861?
Who would you invite onto the show?
And - the million dollar* question - what would you name it?
* - obviously this is the million pound question: we play in pounds, not dollars.
Best three pitches win a seat into tomorrow night's £4,000 Rebuy Open. Entries close at 9am Wednesday. Go!

"playing the field"
Basically have a well know player play an hour. or whatever, playing a format of the game (can be their specialist of favourite area) but have it in real time and get the person to talk about all their plays, thoughts on other players, notes they take, reasons for raises folds etc everything really. Prob need them to play two tables at the same time to avoid any long periods of little action. Even in the periods they're out of the hands would interest me i.e. what they make of the other players play etc. But basically not just a highlight reel of the most action packed hands I want to see it all lol
Could do set of programs "playing the field: SNG", "playing the field: cash", "playing the field: MTT"
Obviously famous poker players doing it would be a bonus!
What I would say is 2 analysts play The primo and mini say.
(forum comp on last longer of the two in both tourneys)
Analyse their hands and get them to go through their own thought processes. Get them to talk about others games at the table. (I know this wont be too beneficial for the 2 players playing as they may give things away but only has to be done every now and then with different analysts!)
I think you should call it "The Jackpot Head2Head!" If they go out they can just go onto mastercash tables. You will also need a presenter and a further couch sitter to present the show!
I think this would be great to get the presenters/analysts back on the site I miss the days I could play Hartigan at Omaha or run in to Tikay and orford in the DTD's and mains! This is what made me play on this site the chance to play with these great characters and poker players! Be nice to get that back!
- Live phone call players playing the main event that night.
- Guests off the forum. Playing in the studio/analysing hands.
- Bring back Ed
- Presenter v presenter/analyst hands as suggested above, (the 2 that r on that show)
- Intense hour of advanced strategy, similar to what you'll find on the various training sites. Not necessarily involving many hand histories. Stuff we have to pay for elsewhere, you can give us for free
This is the main one really, but also the least likely to get implemented. understandably.
You sign up to a training site and theres hours and hours worth of material that isn't ever touched upon on skypoker TV. It's obvious why, but I'ts my show. I'm devising it, that's what I want!
Format would be simple. Hour long show firstly starting with the basics and then going more in depth. Before finally branching out into PLO8.
With no screen shots available it would have to be done with real cards on a table with a camera facing down to show the cards and board. Firstly it could be done with random cards to discuss the basics and then with preloaded decks to set up scenarios to follow through.
As far as guests are concerned early on wouldnt be necessary. Someone like Tikay could handle it very easily and his knowledge would be more than enough to get people to learn the game. As more in depth plays are discussed then a guest could be brought in hopefully with a differing style to tikays to give options and alternatives.
The edict of the shows on the channel are to educate and i think this would sit rather nicely in the current line up. 1 Hour a week for a set run would make a pleasant and diverting change to the shows currently running.
And as to the name. 4 Cards to rule them all.
Regarding who you would invite yeh I would agree with the previous posts. I think someone like Tikay and others that have played in the wsop in omaha events, mixed with top regulars and team sky players. Im a big fan of Ryan Spittles I think he is an excellent analyst and Jen (sorry forget her surname).
The name? Omaheaven!
Big fan of omaha and would love if omaha in some form could be introduced.
Thanks
