I think Ryan and Stuart are both very good. People think it is easy discussing the hands and having been on the show albeit just for one four hour session I know it isn't. You are not pre warned about the hands so you need to make it up on the spot. Another difficulty is the level of detail you need to go into which will completely differ from viewer to viewer. What one person considers too much detail, eg explaining terms that are obvious to one person is of great help to another viewer.
I think the new breed of analyst are good but will by no means be perfect so they need constructive ways of improving however I am not sure the op comments falls into this category.
I am very new to poker and have now found the sky poker channel , Which i watch most days now for tips and use as a learning guide and Ryan is by far the best on there , also had to follow him on twitter to learn more ( stalker now )
Nice posts on this thread. FWIW I think Ryan is a fantastic analyst- he clearly knows the site and the game inside out- puts his money where his mouth is, and has improved no end as a onscreen pundit with his presentation skills. And it's obvious to me he has worked very, very hard at this and is now reaping the rewards. I thought the show he did the other day was particularly good- and I notice he gets better and better each time I do a show with him. He was relaxed, confident, speaks with an air of authority but was also modest, plus entertaining. What's not to like? He's an asset to Sky Poker.

I wouldn't want either of them to change their style just because of a few forum comments, the more information the better.
And if someone says "um" when they talk, so what couldn't care less.
Keep up the good work folks!
