    simple really...

    live shows = live play

    good innovation lately have included showing hands from a timed tournament and HU shuffle.  all prior to showing play in the main event.  you know, just how it used to be but with today's superb presenters and analysts.

    Hi Sky Poker TV.

    I would like to see Live Hands shown throughout the night from from that particular nights Main & Mini event, however, I would scedule the evening slightly diffeently than it is at the moment................

    For instance on Sunday Nights we know we are going to see a a few hands from the Roller & then a few hands from the Primo Event and I don't mind this, but what really bugs me is we never seem to watch a tournament through to its conclusion because they finish too late.

    So, personally on Sunday Nights, I would like the emphasis to be on Saturday nights main & Mini Event, so we can see a tourny to its conclusion, but also with a few live hands thrown in from the Primo.

    Tuesdays live show should have an empasis on the Primo & Mini Primo from Sunday's main event so we can see it to it's conclusion, with a few live hands thrown in from from the Tuesday Main Event & Mini.

    Thursday's live show should have an empasis on the Wednesday Doublestack & Roller, with a few live hands thrown in from the Bounty Hunter Main & Mini Events.

    I also enjoyed the hands from the Timed Touny Events too.

    Mastercash, Poker School etc I already enjoy.

    Also, we never seem to see any play/hands from any of the SPT Live Events shown, apart from the live stream. There seems to be plenty of interviews etc but no edits shown of the live play from the feature tables.

    I thought doing hand analysis with some hole cards covered last night was great, more of that please.

    More competitions that don't involve captions please :) I remember a comp where Trevor Harris was going on holiday to Columbia (i think) and gave a prize away to person with the most interesting fact about Columbia.

    Yeah they always seem to be filling time with these comps and stuff, totally detracts from poker.
    The problem is with 4-5 hours to fill, they end up filling with nonsense imo.
    Filling time with showing hands alondside some humour and chat would make me watch for longer.
    I just end up turning over to sport or something.

    More hands. 

    Get the 2 presenters to play a cash table with eachother and 4 others, show these hands when they're on together.

    HU mastercash ones for 30mins, then 6max. ^^^^ 

    Some kinda section dedicated to showing hand requests from the nights show, (vvv annoying sending them in and not getting to see them shown)

    Players in the studio on 'the grind' again.

    Follow home players through a tournament again.

    Make 2 shows a week based on live MTTs and the Saturday one a cash show again. 

    Live phone ins for competitions to break up all the hands you're now gonna show, instead of caption comps. (yawn) ;)

    SNG / DYM live  with one of the studio people (presenter / analyst / guest) playing in it along with players online. Different stakes each week / show.

    Rinse repeat with cash for an hour.

    when there used to be the 5-0 tournament on a thursday night there used to be guests in the studio who were playing the tournament.  if they busted they then played a sng. 

    it was really good seeing other players navigate their way through a tournament.  it doesnt really matter who is playing as i think its nice to see how other people are dealing with certain spots.  if cash table play could be shown in this way i think that would also be good.

    also, this gives you the chance to be on tv because you can go a sit at the table with the studio expert with a pretty high chance of your hands being shown.  if you make them play the main and mini then there is very few players who dont have a fair chance of being shown.

    big +1 to showing more hands.  sometimes there are too many long sections of sofa chat

    More hands from the early stages of tournaments.
    That is the stage where recreational players make mistakes.
    Seeing the same names playing final tables is great but most of the time they don't make mistakes or fall into traps that less accomplished players do!
    I don't think the competitions should be changed - The sheer number of posts they receive prove a large number of players enjoy them -  
    I would like a fortnightly section dedicated to Team Sky Poker players letting us know how they are doing.
    I'm not interested in their Bankrolls just their experiences highs and lows etc

    I'd like the expert to take part in a tournament live on the show!
    All players names to be removed until the end of the hand
    I think we'd all benefit by watching how the expert plays mediocre cards in position out of position and how they play premium hands to max effect
    all we need to see are their cards, the betting patterns and of course the end result.
    Perhaps the expert might estmate the range of hand they put their opponent on.
    For it to work a different alias must be used when playing.
    What are the chances of doing this?

    I prefered the old format of soley concentrating on a live mtt, there is way too much chat and not enough hands shown.

    I loved it when you either had guests playing along in the studio or at home as phone guests.

    I have to be honest, I gave the new show format time to settle in but I'm still not keen. The last 2 hours where hands from that nights mtt's are by far the most entertaining as well as being the most educational.

    The main appeal of the show was playing along in the main event and watching it on the telly at the same time.
    But thats just my opinion........

    The old studio guest ROI challenge.

    "Celeb" studio guests who are playing SnG's / in the Main Event / back in SnG's at 20:10 after busting out of the Main Event.

    I always though this added a big element to the shows.

    I think a good show would be to get a presenter in a main event and then follow them through the tournament. Just like analyse my play but MTT.
    More hands more hands more hands!! The cards covered is great, but use it alot, for example if someone sends in a play my hand then cover up the others cards, and then we get fair feedback.
