Im a regular player and watcher of sky poker, so can anyone tell me why they have so called experts like Tikay and ryan spittles analyising hands when they clearly arnt good enough to say what we should be doing? Tikay openly admits he is not a NLHE player and Ryan spittles is no better than the rest of us!! Watched him on sky poker cash game live play and he is awful, just my opinion mind

Don't really understand the point of your thread.
Lol.
Best bit of advice i could offer you is that in poker you will make the majority of your cash off players worse than yourself and because you clearly have an edge over Ryan the best thing for you to do would be to sit down v him as often as possible and watch your bankroll grow mate
GL with that
As for Tikay well "stop picking on pensioners "
and coming back with this
This is a very rude, misguided and disrespectful post. You also come off as pretty dumb to be honest ... you say you are a regular watcher of Sky Poker TV, despite thinking the analysis is rubbish - so essentially you watch something you don't like? Makes sense.
Please go to a different site if you don't like what is offer on here.
The shows themselves are 5hrs long minus 25 mins for breaks IMHO anyone who can keep an audience interested for this amount of time is excellent at their job and both the aforementioned analysts have no problems in this area.
It is a show after all and about entertainment too. The interaction between the presenters and analysts and the audience is second to none in my view and unique on TV.
If I am totally honest I don't always agree with everything the analysts say but their poker achievements should at the very least entitle them to respect for their views, something that seems to be lacking in the OP views.
I am a little concerned with your suggestion that we are annalists though. I rather prefer Analysts, though I suppose some may think you were correct.....;)
Edit.. just for the record.. An Annalist is someone who keeps year by year, historical records. Just so folks don't misinterpret the meaning lol.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. Here is mine. Both Tikay and Ryan are fantastic as analysts on the 861 channel. There is so much more to it than you realise. The audience are an array of new/beginner poker plays, recreational poker plays and some who take it more seriously. They have to entertain and inform this broad spectrum while 'selling' the product of SkyPoker. By selling I mean attract interest to future events on the SkyPoker schedule as well as immediate events found in the lobby at that time. Like I said, I think both are fantastic at it. I would also rate both as poker players hugely.
The part I put in bold, that did give me a chuckle I confess. That's a bit like saying anyone can read an autocue (watch Have I Got News For You on a regular basis to see examples of how this is wrong). In many ways you don't see how good someone like Tikay or Ryan is until you see someone who isn't very good at it. Luckily it seems the good folks Presently on SkyPoker TV, or 'talent,' as they are described, are all very good at their jobs.
Finally for now, just my opinion but I think you started this thread to get a reaction and have a personal dig rather than have an honest debate. In that case you have succeeded but I must suggest to you directly it may be of benefit to you on a personal level to find more soul affirming and classy ways to entertain yourself.
i agree with the OP.
ah sorry, typo, i disagree with the OP.
think that is 1st rude comment i have ever seen from you.
p.s thanks for the good wishes the other day.
all the best
