    i'll pay for your hotel room for the saturday night, but only if its on a week when im not on oil-rig

    That way I can easily recover the cost of room from you on the tables :)

    Just spent ages reading this post, lol 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

    the stakes people play does not mean they can cant be that good. there are people who play $5/10 and are MASSIVE losers, most likely they have more money then they know what to do with so dont care, but does this mean they are better players because they play higher levels. I have enough money to play $1/2 if i wanted, but I dont feel comfortable playing at that level so why should I?

    I have already accpeted the offer, but have heard nothing back from Claire_sky.

    oh and these are my stats for this year, and yeah im in the red

    I would suggest writing to Dave_sky , Rich_sky or 10Tikay hopefully you will hear back from them shortly.

    Claire, I think I love you.

    Did that last guy who wanted to come to the Studio ever accept, or did he just fob you off again?

    Can I just say that THAT shirt was provided to me by the otherwise lovely lady in Wardrobe. I turn up every day looking devilishly handsome in some perfectly nice shirts. The only reason I had to wear (shudder) that shirt was that my one would have strobed on TV.

    No one wants a strobing Dave, am I right?

    Good.

    Now, where do I find that blue jumper, Lisa?

    No, the blue jumper was ritually burned several weeks ago. This was to ensure that I wasn't persuaded to wear it again in a weak moment.

    Poker is not an exact science and we all approach the game differently.  Added to which we all have different levels of skill, experience, bankroll and risk appetite.  The analysts have the unenviable task of trying to improve all of us whilst keeping the show entertaining as well as informative.  I think they do an outstanding job.

    Of course, they also each bring a different perspective to the game and this will resonate differently with different members of the community.  We need this mix.

    Personally I find the high-spot of any week to be Tikay's digressions into the land of steam locomotives, the comarative strengths and weaknesses of motorway service areas or the idiocy of our traffic police.  The man is a superstar.  I learn most from Ed's analysis, probably because I can most easily relate to his thought processes, but I learn from all of them.  I don't want to change the mix.  It's the mix which makes Sky a community rather than just a site.  (I say that even though I moved here just a couple of weeks ago - that is why I moved.)

    The mix will always be biassed towards ABC because there are always people joining who have never before played a hand of poker.  That's OK - there is always in depth analysis availabe in the forum.

    It's NOT broken so let's NOT fix it!

    My last addition to this thread was in praise of the analysts.  However, the thread started by referring to the presenters.  I have to agree that Sky's various presenters have been a very mixed bunch (from Awesome to Awful).

    I see their job as keeping us entertained and ensuring that the programme flows and never becomes turgidly nerdy.  Sky used to have the services of the best poker presenter on the planet (Norman Pace - side issue - could we start a campaign to bring him back????)

    The presenter fails unless he/she has the personality to create the right chemistry with the analyst.  It also helps if they have an interest in poker so that they can ask the questions many of us were thinking.  Normal was great because interest in and knowledge of the game was up thee with any of the analysts.  This often raised issues for discussion which appealed to the "beyond-ABC" sector of the audience.

    Whilst none of the current presenters are able to do this quite as well as Norman, both Richard and Lisa-Marie create the chemistry and bring forward discussion at their own level (adding to the mix).  Kara used to be good at this too.

    I'm sure there are other members who value buffoonery and tottie just as highly.  My point is that we each have an opinion but need to value the mix rather than promote our individual preferences too much.
