typical woman of power.. 'all mouth and no ears' !!
As for ALL the Presenters and Analysts on 865....In the words of "Andy Gray".
"Take a Bow".
You are all doing a sterling job.
;-)
i have just read my way through to here....
Can nobody in our community spell ANALISYS, ALYLSIS, ALALYSE, ANALISTSES... can nobody spell?

BOR
Thanc Yew!
i think the blinds were quite big 2k/4k and the "analyst" if we can call them that, first said that open limping KQs on the button is bad.
then the flop comes:
563r
the "analyst" then went ont to say something like "I dont mind the limp now if you are going to be aggressive and bet the flop and turn".
what bad advice.
that flop will most likely hit the blinds ranges since they didnt decide to raise, and when is open limping KQs on the button ever a good play????????????????????? rarley is the answer uless you have a total spew monkey in the blinds who raise ATC.
what is the guy trying to rep on this board???? , which would totally hit the blinds.
serious sky, get something on this please, at first it thought yeah perhaps its just me, but i think the analysis of poker is bad.
Limping on the button is always rubbish.
But having limped (1st mistake) - it would be another mistake to check behind if the blinds check to you.
Dont worry about the blinds having caught abit, 1 barrell shud get it through, 2 at the most, they wudnt/shudnt wanna go broke in an unraised pot, and unless they flopped 2 pair, they arent gonna feel comfortable about carrying on oop.
Most of the time they have no pair. Alot of the time they have a rubbish pair,
and if passive (action checked to you) - they might call 1, maybe 2. Of the times they do call 1/2, you're gonna hit your overcard 24% of the time. So overall its a pretty grim situation for the blind hand here, especially out of position.
Limping in is poor - checking behind wud be also.
U should visit the poker clinic Harvey - theres a few guys who talk about the game in a way you would like I think. They use posh poker words and everything. Cya there.
Very kind words though, so I just wanted to say thanks.
As for the current selection of analysts, I've played poker with many of them in the past and they are seriously tough cookies to beat! There are many, many good players out there, but there's also a valuable lesson that comes from my previous walk of life, namely chess. I was taught by two players; one was a Grandmaster and had played at international levels for many years. The other was a 'mere' master-level player.
While the GM was a fantastic player, he was thinking waaaaay higher than I was and was unable to relate to me as a player. The other fella was fantastic and explained the ideas in a really clear and concise fashion. That's what my game needed back then and I would have a small wager that the majority of Sky Poker players would prefer a good teacher in this role rather than someone who speaks a language they don't yet understand...
James Hartigan in particular has always impressed me with the way he explains poker situations to players who are improving. He has interviewed many of the best players in the world, understood their ideas on their level and then brought it to a level which can be better understood by the rest of us. He's just my favoured example, but trust me when I say that, having played against Ed, Tikay and the others too, NONE of them are anything but strong, strong poker players and - more importantly - great teachers of the game.
Good luck at the tables all.

i would rather these guys havethe job than a professional poker player
I have to agree, i watched the programme for a long time and played on many sites.
i enjoy this site and starting to make this my home site like many folk.
The presenters and analyist's (if spelt correct lol) do a great job.
I count myself as a good player not great as make silly calls etc but still i wouldnt come onto a forum and rant about stuff i dont know what im talking about.
Harvey you play small stakes(not a bad thing) and telling people how to do there job. think they know what they are talking about. You also wont say your screen name as probably if you go onto sharkscope you are probably in the red.
Im sure if you wanted to prove that you were good at what your talking about you would take claire up on her offer and find your own way down to london!!
rant over lol
