I liked the concept on the first post and now this has been suggested[especially after reading mark banins vegas thread] I think this would be of real value and I shall certainly be adding my small influence to ensure this little projext gets off the ground.
I was reading Marks thread from vegas earlier, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and that was what got me thinking that blogs or threads about the play from you guys would be really enjoyable to read. Particularly if we could get several perspectives on the same hands.
Thanks for giving this your support, and hopefully something will come of it.
Why do people think for a second that Rich Orford would have a chance? It's one thing to win the odd hand of cards, but for a presenter to beat all these expert analysts sitting at the same table? No chance.

You under-estimate him. He has a very fine game and consistently finishes high up in tournaments. That's where my tenner is going, anyway.
getting it televised.... another great idea. nice one mickyblue Posted by Buistyboy
Yes a good idea but realistically not going to happen, however and sorry that im about to swear, some of you will be aware of [pokerstars] feature wherby they replay the final table of their big multis with hole cards exposed. In the voice of the 6 milliuon dollar man, we have the technology......
Ed Not sure if you are able to go into details at all, but why could televising it on the sky poker channel not happen? Ray Posted by Buistyboy
Hi Ray,
Me saying it would nt happen is only my personal view due to all presenters/analysts having other fulltime jobs and getting them all together is not so easy.
My other thought is this. Skypoker.com is all about ONLINE poker, yes we have the spt but when I stand in front of a camera on channel 865 I am offering thoughts and advise on ONLINE play, I would play many hands very differently online as opposed to live when you have so many other tells and aspects to consider, I therefore believe that as we are an online site showing the table with hole cards exposed and then blog and or tv debates about various hands is the way to go.
your point about being an online site is a fair one. I would look forward to watching a table online, then reading the various blogs, and tv debates etc, as you suggest.
