Tikay mistaken on Bounty Hunter?

edited July 2009 in Sky Poker Live
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 :o

    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.

    Thanks for the response Tikay, I always wondered what you actually saw.  I guessed it was on a plasma so very interesting.

    BTW, if i was to point out Orford's mistakes i'd need my own forum :D
