Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Boring?!!!!!
I hate saying this because i know he deserves a chance and he is just doing his job, but i find the live shows the new guy is presenting really boring and lacks the fluency and entertainment the other shows have..
I know the sky and forum regs will slat me for this but just wanna know everyone elses opinion to see if its just me or not!! Was lookingbforward to sitting down and watching the show tonight but got bored and turned over already zzzzzzz

You being here is boring.
Your moaning is boring.
Yiannis will be doing a great job, putting his spin on the hot seat.
Close this gutteral thread!
Imo, the response: "Don't want it then." is just childish. It's obvious the guy isn't just here to preach his hate, and is trying to offer (albeit in a not too articulate way) advice and criticisms. In turn, so that the presenter, and the quality of the broadcast, can improve. How else is he supposed to voice his dissapointment? Just not watch, and expect a decline in ratings to eventually give the new format the boot?
He's picking out the specific problems with the current show, and telling this new guy to mix it up and improve.
Why do people take these comments personally? Most of the comments have been critical of his ability, and not attacking him directly. He should welcome the criticism and brush off any 'haters' that come here just to spew abuse.
This thread isn't an example of someone trying to abuse the presenters, and discussions about how to improve the show should be encouraged, not dismissed.
Having said that, OP needs to work on his delivery. The thread title is shocking, and you need to make your suggestions clear and absent of any frustration or negative emotionaments.
And as others have said, it's a bit weezly to post this up anonimously, would he say this 2 his face?
He had the chance and he did not! All round pretty cowardly
I met Yiannis at Birmingham and found him to be a decent guy who is articulate and very keen to learn more about the game of poker.
One poster said you were picking out specific problems with the show,I would say that your OP was non specific as whilst you used the words "boring " and " lacks the fluency " nothing was added to further explain your point of view.
As always on here everyone is entitled to their opinion however I watched some of the show last night and mostly found it interesting and entertaining.That said Carlo laughing after the KK v my QQ v 66 debacle was not so amusing !!!!!
Give the guy a chance and dont be resistant to change.
When "Nick Hewer" took over "Countdown", I thought he's not right for the job, but has settled into it and now I think he fits the role!
Do remember though, that people have feelings, i think he may feel a little hurt but your comment! Im sure the bloke is trying to be a good presenter!
However, he will know," One can't please everyone all the time, but can please most some of the time!
I do respect the fact that you have a right to voice what you think!
FranK!
I think he was much more relaxed last night and the more i watched it the more it grew on me.
I even had a few chuckles with with some of the hands they were analysing, so it was very much improved for me. I did stay and watch the whole show too so for anyone who didn't....I think you missed out.
All I can say is..........
Best of Luck Yiannis.
Last nights show was a vast improvement. I think it helped him working with Carlo as I gather they already knew each other? Carlo also did a great job with his analysis and didn't hold back in his criticism of some very poor calls made out of position. Refreshing to see.
But I dont' feel the need to come on here and dig out the new guy or have a go at the old gaurd.
Posting this acheives nothing, why would anyone listen to a negative post like this.
Imagine the next meeting at Sky "O yes longdong52 said Tikay was boring so we must tell him to stop taking rubbish or he will lose his job"
Seriously......
