i think it will become a really good show. it was great to see how they play.
the only suggestion is that it would be good to upgrade the graphics. resizing the display showing six hands to five and resizing again to four is distracting, disorientating and unnecessary. furthermore, the position and style of these graphics is catering too much for those who have 4:3 televisions and consequently are too big, clumsy and central for 16:9 viewers. the red tickertape at the bottom interferes with the displayed graphics at all times. and the definition of the graphics is quite furry.

Ratio discussion? James Hartigan will be here soon. Aaron is in the middle of his reply, will be posted some time Tuesday.
My first thought was why was the commentary louder than the chat ? With the volume at considerate levels for the commentary ( which wasn't bad for what is early days ) I could not always hear the chat. Rebalance them to roughly the same with a fader for the chat when the commentators want to add their twopenny worth. The best bits were when th cameras focussed on the faces of those in play so more of that and less roaming camera please
The continuous plugging of the Sky brand (on skypokerdotcom etc) plus the obvious use of other poker site logo's leads me to believe that this series will be sold on. As a matter of interest, where? I am just wondering if everyone would get the humour used by Rich & Tikay.
Was the £500 stake money their own money or were the Sky Poker Team players staked for this by Sky Poker?
just seen the tv show.glitterbabe looked out of his depth.he made some awful donk bets and when he did have a hand the tells he gave away were laughable.he had no moves in whatsoever and looked verry uncomfortable.on the other hand young lolufold now he is a good plyr.lots of moves in him and playes position verry well indeed.as for the show? pretty boring really.only being honest. ps glitterbabe isnt a pro is he?

Rich said at the start that everyones BI was taken direct out of their Sky Poker accounts.
There was no 'obvious use'. Its a standard thing that all poker shows have. Even shows that are sponsered by Party/FTP/Stars will be filled with players who are badged up by rival sites.
My suggestions:
8/9 handed would be fun have a mix of ability in the players. you need a couple of loose businessmen/some pros/some good recreational players/total unknowns. GET ME ON THERE

very unfair to criticise GB. all the others have some experience on being on camera. if he did look uncomfortable its probably due to nerves of being in the spotlight rather than the poker/who he is up against. GB has played that level and higher cash games for a very long time.
some of the play was boring as they showed every hand. most other tv poker shows edit them so we only see the big pots and not the standard button raise getting thru the blinds etc.

Haha mate, id love to see you on there and see how you get on. GB is a great cash player, he didnt get many hands last night and still turned a profit. Dont criticise someone who is far better and more experienced than you
Hey guys- thanks for watching the show and for your feedback. I haven't had chance to see the final edit yet, but obv I watched the basic footage to commentate over.
As for the Wayne straddle- it was an unfortunate thing that our graphics were not compatible with it. The graphics would say immediately that he had min-raised UTG instead of announcing the straddle. And that's what Tikay and I had to go on when we saw the footage for the first time weeks later and had to effectively commentate live over it because we were up against it time-wise and didn't have the luxury to do take after take.
But apologies regardless for this oversight and I hope Wayne doesn't think he's been disrespected in any way. He knows full well what Tikay and I think of him as a man and as a player. He oozes class.
As for exciting hands- it's poker of course, so they only happen every now and then in a real game. And we wanted to give you what you generally don't tend to get in these type of shows- largely unedited hand-for-hand action rather than the chopped-up highlights of just the AA v KK hands.
Loved the show last night redmond was playing excellent and was thoroughly enjoyable and so refreshing to see cash action that i could imagine average joes sitting at similar blind level tables rather than the millions you see on other shows though entertaining id rather watch people grinding like its a normal day at the office

annoying that it wasn't noticed that GB was straddling and not minraising UTG with K3o etc.
Burland looks up for the game, figured is is hampered tho by Redmond sitting behind waiting tho.
really think action will kick off once that stacks start going in and people are 1k+ deeper. then you'll see some action.
can't really remember the action by Burland made a big call v Thew with just A high? Can we get the HH of that up Mr Sky Dave?

not a great deal of entertainment or exciting hands. only exciting person to watch was Reds and thats cos his a bit looser than the other nits.
i think they should of sat abit deeper imo.
hope episode 2 is more exciting
