In addition, Mr Chad's commentary is NOT designed to be educational. Ours is, that's our remit, & our brief. Educational, not abusive.
All the analysts highlight technically poor play. Perhaps we are a little too subtle for some. We are not training Soldiers to go fight a war, we are educating & enteretaining players about a game.
To be honest i don't see how Tikay can answer you anymore comprehensively and yet you keep going.
You admit to being completely paranoid about online poker sites.
You choose to play at Sky Poker.
You consistently tell Sky Poker how crooked they are - (whilst still playing?)
Sky Poker respond to your posts in detail - even though some of your questions should really be in area 51.
And then you criticise how they treat the customers - by being "too cooey wooey"
Would you prefer a harsher response to your questions because the professionals think they're a bit donkeyish?
I doubt it. And perhaps you should watch more - because you obviously haven't seen Hartigan, Tuckman, Giddins or Kendall lately - otherwise you'd realise your comments were outdated.
Obviously this is just my constructive criticism of you latest posts....
But it doesn't seem very helpful when phrased like this - does it?
I guess i'm happy to be treated with respect and offered guidance rather than have it shoved down my throat. Each to their own i suppose....
Edit: and i think if Hartigan is qualified to discuss pros hands with Negreanu he can probably cope with our play....
Thank you for your posts, we are of course always eager to receive feedback from players.
It is, and always has been our goal to educate and entertain in a non threatening manner. As a rule we seek to do this pleasantly because there is no benefit to either party, the player or the business, to do it any other way.
As players skill on the site has improved, the analysis has increased in specificity and the degree of theory behind the comments.
Obviously our team try to tailor their on the spot "live advice" to the individual under the pressure of the studio lights and having me "in their ear." However, they do have to be aware that new players also join on a daily basis and they should be encouraged to try out new skills - which may or may not work out - and they should never feel "ridiculed" as a result.
Our goal is to offer up alternatives, but never to dictate.... After all it would be fantastically boring if we all played the same ABC poker.
kind regards

I remember how it was when the channel started, the quality of the advice now is light years ahead of the early days. Ed with his odds, James with his aggression, Trevor with his more cash oriented thinking and Mr Kendall and Mr Orford with their brilliant comedy double act. Add in Sara and Lisa-Marie, good enough for me.
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot about Mark Banin. Probably the most original thinker of the lot.
[QUOTE]what makes it worse is that the commentators on tv keep harping on about how there is such a good, strong, community of players, so dummies keep playing stupid hands and getting lucky. if only they would show all of the numpty hands on tv and berate the donks then maybe the standard of play would be different cos we could take the p i s s out of the donks.

This was followed up by a Public message from Steve which said.....
"....why cant you guys on the show, show some stupid hands where guys should never be in the pot, and give them some stick? i know you cant abuse them, but make a fair but harsh point of the donkey calls and [plays alot of players make and show them instead of the outdraws and redraws that we usually see on the show....."
I think we've covered this ground already.
paranoia shmaranoi...i remembered thinking all those tv phone in quizzes were dodgy too(uh oh)

Tikay
Tell me m8,what do i have to do to win a hand when no matter what u try you still get called and they always win on the river,now dont tell me thats bad luck all the time because it happens to often,and me in the last 9 games out of ten,i feel im just waisting my time and getting very frustrating.,I normally get through the first 2 1/2 hrs no prob,then u come up against a twit who calls everything and wins,i just get to the point where i cant be bothered because i know whats going to happen.They must have friends in high places,wish i did,,,,,and please dont say to me,you wish you could come up against more like him,so do i,but in the meantime your out the game and im talking about the last table when youve worked so hard to get there.How do some of them have so much luck.

Oh, and just to reiterate what I've said before AA v KK isn't a "bad beat". It's simply bad luck, the chips find their way into the middle anyhow.
