The PRIMO  Final  Table screened  tonight, did anyone do  any research for this programme , Mark Banning kept calling SUPERNONA    "He" "Him" "His"  even DP joined in  ..Supernova  is  a Lady player guys .. (doh) 

Did the producers  not  research it either ?  (doh)

Just  goes to show  how much  attention  goes into  this programme   !!

 Bring  back  "Compo" he at  least looks as if  he knows  what  he's talking about, 

Sorry   ....  SkyPoker, tonight's  show  was "abysmal" as far as  research  goes and also  showed  up Mark for his play  analysis as  less than average !!

    None of the Producers, Presenters, Analysts, or anyone else on Channel 865 have access to players "real" names, nor should they - that'd be a serious breach of protocol, quite improper, & in breach of the DP Act. So it's not "abysmal research - doh" at all, it would be quite improper if Producers or front-of-camera staff had access to that data. The only clue they have - unless they know the player personally - is their Avatar, & quite often, players use reverse gender Avatars, &/or names.
     
    I cannot comment upon Mark's commentary, as I never saw the Show or heard the commentary, but he's a very accomplished player, as you well know.

    If Sharon was offended by it - & I'd be surprised if she were - I'll apologise personally to her when I next see her, but I would think she understands the position.

    PS - Mark's surname is "Banin", not "Banning", but an easy mistake to make.

    IMO I believe that the majority of them are good 'poker xspurts' as you put it. I can't say I agree with everything that they say all of the time but come off it they have no real time to analyse hands and occaionally slip up. No need for this response, at the end of the day they are employed by sky to do a job and imo they do a very good one. I can't comment on all the analysts on the show but you can see through tikay that he puts a lot of hours in to analyse hands and give advice to any of us and im sure the others would be just as responsive if you were to ask.

    My first post on the forum was having a pop at one of the analysts. Last night I hard him on sky sports commentating alongside Danny Negreanu!! - How much fun must that be!!! lol

    Anyway - it wasnt a clever thing to do having a go at him, and have regretted it eva since - it was only 1 hand I was moaning about - so yeh as loadsa people reminded me at the time - everyone makes mistakes :(

    DOHH

    probably not,lol,wasnt necessarily commenting on skys xspurts,and im sure none of the presenters here(other than orford maybe,only joking Rich)have had to perform any such deviancy to get where they are 2day...but tv as a whole is littered with people who i see as having no talent and/or no personality and makes me wonder how they got there...other than having the now obligatory speech impedement..

    Not worried in the slightest at what the analysts are saying m8, I for one enjoy watching 865........ seemless link between lewd acts performed by tv presenters and the worlds problems though......

    Not sure what you are getting at either.

    I can't say that I always agree with Mark Banin's hand analysis but I think that it would be a very strange world if I did.
    In any case, Mark could always point to his successful career in poker and wonder what right I have to criticise his work.

    I am pretty sure though that Supernova would not be offended in the least by the gender confusion from two people who have never met her; I'm sure that the £3.8K prize money will definitely more than make up for this.

    So, let's not get things out of perspective, please!

    Quality - sometimes one line can speak volumes! It's all pot, kettle, black...and rather pointless so as Tikay said, if the person in question doesn't mind, why should anyone else care? You can't come on here slating people for making simple mistakes and then make schoolboy error yourself by getting Mark's name wrong - you have more information on him (name plastered across the TV) than he does on Supernova or anyone else for that matter so just cut him some slack!

    experts who are paid for their expertise should at least be able to do the basics,like being able to read and being able to talk some sense on the subject of their expertise(and on the whole they are able to talk some sense)..my original reply to the OP mentioned no1s name/names.
