Tikay mistaken on Bounty Hunter?
Im watching the repeat now, about 45 minutes in. I've got one eye on my Pc as playing a cash game, but im sure one guy had J10 and his opponent had A10. Flop came KJ10.
Turn came a 5, and river came a K, giving both guys two pairs. The guy with J10 bet and won the hand. Tikay and Mcihelle were both saying how the best hand folded. But I think they missed the fact the guy who bet had KKJJ against KK1010.
As i say, i've only one eye on the TV, and im not criticising Tikay or Michelle. Jsut wondered if they corrected themselves later in the show as I have to get back to work shortly.
Sorry if im being pedantic

Hi Yoxall,
Welcome to the Sky Forum.
Yes, I clearly - well, a bit clearly - recall the hand. If the Board came as you describe - & I think it did - you are right, I got it wrong. My apologies, & good spot - glad to see you were paying attention!
I make no excuses, but I am going to explain how we, in the Studio, sometimes get a bit confused.
We don't see the hands, & Board, on a TV or Plasma screen, & that's the real challenge. The hand is beamed from a ceiling mounted projector onto the Studio Floor, where it appears as an image - a HUGE image, about 2 metre by 1 metre. So it's plenty big enough!
However, & this might be hard to visualise, but the Studio Floor is bright green, & the image is projected in monochrome - Black & White. Compound that with very bright studio lights producing glare & "bounce" off the floor, plus a Producer & Director barking instructions "move on, hurry up, move on, next hand" down our earpiece, camerapersons waving their arms - "this camera THIS Camera" - & so sometimes the visual & aural senses all get a bit flummoxed.
So having said "no excuses", there's my excuse.......
Actually, there are no excuses, & I shall send myself a Memo. If Michelle, or Rich Orful made the same mistake, I'd be on their case like a ton of bricks, so it's a fair cop Guv.
PS - Have you never seen an Orford Straight?
Take care now.
Sigh, and here,s me thinking tikay could try to shove orful? down that pit in the middle of the studio
Oh well back to the drawing board
BTW, if i was to point out Orford's mistakes i'd need my own forum
Lol, thank Guys.
I'll try & Post some 'photos of the Studio set up later this week, so you can see better how it works.
You gotta hand it to me - stunningly original excuse, eh?
