2) Only showing edited/intersting hands does not give any clues re table dynamics etc so difficult to empathise (coo long word!) or think what I would do in that spot.
PS. Athough I only play 2/3 times a week not seen anything of Santa, Elf(sure its TK),etc what are they up too?
It's a trial guys, there will be a few glitches, but the only way to trial it is to run it during the day when we know we can fill the Seats. Posted by tikay1
Great idea, but i would have thought the evening would have been busier both in terms of players and viewers?
i think this is a great idea, didnt like that 'intermission' with various messages after EVERY hand tho Posted by sikas

It's like the hold music when you phone CC, it's bad enough but made much worse by it cutting out EVERY 15 seconds to tell you they have a high volume or whatever..

Quite so - but please see my earlier reply.,.....
The idea of staging the Trial @ 1pm today was so that the Staff involved in setting it all up - quite a few, as it happens - did not have to come here in the middle of the night for a 1 hour run-through

As I have tried to emphasise, 3 or 4 times now, it was simply a "first stage" Live Trial.
The finished product will NOT be what you saw today, & you should not assume stuff like that will be included.
Both the music, & the "promos" were simply heath robinson, & temporary.
Much of the testing has been hampered by our current studio, which we will be leaving, for a brand new, state of the art, studio, in February, & then we can add on all the bells & whistles. So, there is no logic to investing in new kit for the current studio.
We were also hampered, again as I noted at the very start of the thread, by the absence of Mother, due to illness, as it is she who has driven the Project.

Oh that post was more to show my annoyance of the phone lines.
I think this went really well (at least for the 10 minutes I watched), especialy for the first time.

Cant be Mothers fault surely, it must be Orfords fault.
Sky have a great USP in channel 865 things like this will only improve the site imo.

Would be nice to see just how players can be as tight as they are. I played with one reg, who recently posted in this forum in fact for an entire hour. He played 3 hands. I would love to see what he is folding. Posted by simuk
i played as a spin up 5x my usual level and clearly stated i was there for a gamble, bought in for the minimum and got through a 4bet shove with JJ against QQ (who had i think about 5 times my stack!) was a good one to see on tv!

I do like the idea thought for 2 reasons:
1) Trying something new is commendable
2) Only showing edited/intersting hands does not give any clues re table dynamics etc so difficult to empathise (coo long word!) or think what I would do in that spot.
PS. Athough I only play 2/3 times a week not seen anything of Santa, Elf(sure its TK),etc what are they up too?

Why would any cash player want to play on this table ? Surely all their rivals must gain an edge by watching them ?
Loved some of the ancient promos used as filler when it went wrong. Kara, The Club and Tikay looking a few years younger !

Keep the improvements coming sky!
