In Response to Re: UK Cash Game - Official Show Discussion Thread : Hi aussie09 Unfortunately due to OfCom rules and regulations all on screen graphics have to be 4:3 safe. Its driven me up the wall as visually not the nicest. This first series has been a major learning curve for myself and the team here at the channel, so when we shoot series 2 we will be looking at all the feedback Thanks Posted by Sky_Claire
thank you for commenting claire. i understand your constraints. however, is it not true that the graphics could still be compliant but better positioned? by this i mean that instead of looking pretty for the 4:3 viewer and ugly for 16:9 majority, why not adopt a different perspective.
make the graphics 4:3 ugly and 16:9 pretty?
the other suggestion was to stop the resizing the OK five hand display to the vulgar four player size.
Twenty minutes to go, anyone else ITT for real time chit chat about this episode?
Really looking forward to seeing Channing join. Plus now the game has settled down I think you can start lighting the fireworks. I think both Reds and Jamie are stuck at the moment, so that should create an interesting dynamic in itself.
Dam it, I missed it last night. Anyone know when it is repeated ? Ignore this ;o) Just seen Claire's post Posted by JockBMW
Both episodes are on later today according to the EPG - EP1 at 17:00 following by EP2 at 19:00 - so not sure about the 23:00 in Claire's post because the main show will still be on at that time.
I've only watched the first episode so far but actually like to see all the hands rather than just the action hands.
The poker shows I have always enjoyed the most are those that up the volume on the table chat so they Presenter and Analyst can just chip in when there isn't any action or to explain action to the viewer. Listening to the interaction between the players is very entertaining.
The rolling chips effect during interview questions looked a little odd I think.
More graphic summaries of current stack sizes would be good, perhaps once every orbit or two just for a few seconds?
The air time seems weird to me too, I know other channels, C4, C5, show poker at this sort of time but I would have thought that's related to scheduling issues rather than preference.
Posted in answer to someone elses question about how the table used in this works. I thought I'd repost here as it's quite interesting, if you like that sort of thing.

Would someone explain to this ignoramus what a straddle bet is exactly?
Really looking forward to seeing Channing join. Plus now the game has settled down I think you can start lighting the fireworks. I think both Reds and Jamie are stuck at the moment, so that should create an interesting dynamic in itself.
That was a lovely play.
Message to Tikay when he gets back, can you ask about the thinking behind Paul Jackson's 10 pound river bet with 83 into a 170 pound pot please?
Blocker? Post Oaking? Amazing thin value v high card hands? Whhhaaaatt?
A straddle is usually a bet of twice the big blind posted by the utg player. It's used to create more action.
Loving this episode so far, it's really burst into life. Waynes not having much luck.
Thanks AcidMan
