the 3-d / 2-d thing really doesnt matter. What r u watching it for? the pretty pictures, or the poker?
Wud be a shame to not see the presenters while the hands r being analysed tho - good comedy value sometimes, seeing their reactions.
TK jumping out of his skin when a 6 outer hits, or ed giddins looking like he has a hurrendous headache everytime a player is in a tricky spot or he is asked a difficult question. (lol)
Any chance of some sort of split screen? or wud that look stupid? I cnt picture it....
loads of other poker tv channels just show 2d views with commentating over the top....ur analyst cud sit at home and do the commentary, bargain for sky, no need for a studio
we needn't persuade skypoker to listen as it is wise for them to seek out the views of their customers. if they listen, good for them. if they act on what they hear, good too. if it means that they persevere making these decision, such as removing 3D, good for them too. but probably not good for business.
the decisions are theirs on business matters, the decisions are ours on whether skypoker are offering something more attractive than other options and how and where we choose to spend our time and money.
With the general decline of online poker.(my wife plays on another site who's numbers are down by a 1/3).I feel this is the beginning of the end for SKY POKER.The 2d is a massive step backwards and the number of new programs mininal.It will just become a lost leader for other SKY gambling sites !
If I am reading this weeks tv schedule right there is no live Thursday show indeed Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday have the same show on at 8 o'clock. Posted by -Dino66-
Hi Dino
I have no idea what the schedule says, but....
There WILL be LIVE Shows this THURSDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY.
And, if plans come to fruition - I've been tasked with the non-TV side of setting up something a bit special for Saturday's Show, which will be Cash-based.
There will also be, for the avoidance of doubt, LIVE SHOWS every Thursday, Saturday & Sunday for the foreseeable future, too.

Bounty Hunter will be live this Thursday from 20:00- 24:00 as per usual. at 20:00 all other nights (except saturday and sunday) there will be a mixture of The Club, SPT Swansea coverage, final tables of some nightly tables etc.

Part right, part wrong......
Traffic at Online Poker Sites in the first 6 months of 2010 is almost universally DOWN, by between 11% & 49%, (varies from site to site). That includes 'Stars & Tilt, who are down 11% & 18% respectively. This is year-on-year, & is only partly caused by the World Cup. Even without the World Cup, the figures would be significantly worse than last year.
There are almost no exceptions.
One such exception is Sky Poker.com, which is showing double digit increases on the same period last year. (The year-end numbers were revealed last week, google is your friend). That's because Sky Poker are trying very hard to serve it's Customer-Base well, build a really strong Community, & innovate.
Innovation, though, is dangerous, because now & then, it goes all wrong, or does not get communicated properly. But it has to be tried, & we will always learn from it, & what our Client-Base tells us.
In Response to Re: ***TONIGHT'S NEW SHOW*** Dealer's Choice Live at 8pm : Maybe that's because I've been too busy fighting Forum fires today! You could always send me a PM if you fancied a bash. Or even just playing in the "Big Game". Posted by Tikay10
lol im kidding... Yeah I'll play if im not doing anything else...hopefully I will run better this time...maybe I should just open fold JJ if I get dealt it? lol hope your day isn't too stressful!

Lol, you nailed it. Been "quite a week", one way & another.
I can cope, I've been there before. When we began APAT, the Thread, which was pretty much a "haters thread", ran to 170 pages on one Forum alone. But APAT are still here, thriving indeed, & so am I, though perhaps "thriving" would be the wrong word at my time of life......
I also recall when PNL shut down, & many of the Presenters came across here - I got absolutely battered on 2 Forums in particular.
Ho hum.
Cometh the hour, cometh the wimp.
PS - Never forget what Johnny Cash sung. "Lies have to be covered up, the truth can run around naked".

as said on the other two threads....

Such is life. At least we still have our own channel dedicated to broadcasting our hands live on air, 3D or not , my glass is half full!"

I'm tasked with rounding up the players, so if I get that sorted (in between fighting forum fires here & elsewhere) it'll happen.
If anyone is interested, PM me. The "sit-down" is £1,000. Several invitations have already been extended.
