    Can I ask why Stapes is off to Macau and what's it like over there, from a poker perspective?

    Also, I know the sky cash game is upcoming and its great but do you guys know if there is going to be any high stakes stuff on tv or via the net soon.  I used to love watching poker after dark and high stakes poker but it seems to have dried up recently.

    Cheers guys.

    Evening Guys

    Sorry I missed first part of show.  To be fair - I should have missed it all - wedding anniversary today ( 19 years lol ) and due to go out for a meal, but Junior Fifteen is unwell, so postponed.

    As for captions, Rich is obviously doing his Nelson impression with "I see no Chips"

    I'm not sure what to make of Stapes, other than he looks like an even camper version of Marc Almond.  Perhaps he holds a torch for you Rich ;)

    Great to see you two on together.  I will be at SPT Brum Rich - another oppotunity for you to duck out from buying me that beer again.

    Great show as always 

    Regards

    Pen Fifteen

    Evening guys

    Just finished a night of playing Tikay's Omaha High-Low tournaments, so only now started watching the show

    Thoughts on the new graphics:

    Overall look and feel is fine, but there is just too much "going on". The "zooming in and out" on the player on whom the action sits gets confusing quite quickly, and the moving dark blue background just seems to serve no purpose other than to distract from the action. "At The Races" uses a similar background when they show two races "split-screen" and it is equally distracting there.

    The dealer button needs to be slightly bigger

    To echo Andrew1947, please please please please get rid of the background music. it adds nothing and all it does is to make it harder to hear the presenter and analyst talking about the cards.

    I'd also like to see the cards slightly bigger (possibly the expense of some of the screen space allocated to the avatars), but that may just be me.

    Positives include the way raise/bet sizes are shown, particularly in 3-bet and 4-bet etc. pots, and the ability to see players' stack sizes at all times during the hand is a must that has been a long time coming.

    Any chance of turning the music up.......keeping the action going constantly on the table....auto updates of tournie lobbies....etc etc etc

    ....please collect your UB40's on your way out guys...:)

    Richard Orford?? zzzzzzzz....(!)

    Agree that the graphics look a bit 'busy' with all the colours and Star Wars background.  Looks like the graphics team got a few new toys to play with :)

    Hmmm... so that's what Joe calls people who dwell up.... and he's doing a show with Anna soon?

    Do you sell tickets to the show? Can you get seats in for a live audience? I will pay good money to be there to see Anna's reaction.

    I've only been watching for 10 minutes and Joe Stapleton deserves his own show. Great to see someone bring a natural sense of humour to the show.

    sandwich technique....

    great show

    to me, the card graphics could be better as i think it is important that the viewer readily understands what is being shown. it would be so much better to have the cards all the same size, with the same perspective (preferably no perspective its superfluous at best) aligned in two columns (left three hands and right three hands) and both cards positioned side by side with no overlap.  the card graphics are unnecessarily fancy and a little awkward.

    great show
