Female Expert Analysts on SkyPoker TV?
I've watched the shows for about a year now and haven't seen any women as guest analysts on the show.
- Anyone who's been watching them for longer can point out if there has been!
Just wondering if any of the leading female Pro's have been approached to be guests such as Liv Boeree or Vicky Coren.
It seems like SkyPoker has a slightly dated view that the pretty lady is the presenter/host of the show but lets leave it to the men to talk poker...
any thoughts/points welcome!

Amy Trodd too.
Doubt Liv/Vicky would be available to be a guest on Sky Poker given who they are sponsered by.
From memory was Liv on the club a few years back?
Liv used to do stuff on Sky Poker but that was pre EPT bink and thus pre sponsor deal.
Maybe of our successful site regs would be up for it; TallyTink, JamieLou, Yidette9, Samantha25, etc. (I think they're genuine females!)
"Great Idea". "Nice to see the boys think there are ladies worthy to come on the Show".!
Vanessa Selbts but probably wouldnt be possible for that reason
Tatjana Pasalic (sp?)
Tatjana Pasalic!.....please?
I would also like to see Colette Doherty on (I believe she does a great hand at the Vegas cash tables of pretending to be a divvery old Irish Gran and then fleeces the 20 year olds but if I've made a mix up I'm sure someone will let me know).

She presents the big game and is mighty fine.
Some amazing disinformation in this thread, which I won't comment upon.
However, sticking to the OP's question;
Amy Trodd, who we interviewed in Vegas, WILL be a "Guest Analyst" (meaning, alongside a regular Sky Poker Presenter & Analyst) on 865 very soon, the booking has been made & confirmed.
Ditto Jen Mason, who we have been trying to get on the Show for 3 years. She is a personal friend, & I eventually persuaded her earlier this week, we just need to agree a Show date now. A selection of Show dates have been offered to Jen.
I am not 100% certain if it has been yet confirmed, but negotiations to get Irene (TRIP5) on the Show were ongoing earlier this week.
Tatjana MAY be an 865 Guest soon, & we hope she will be at the SPT Grand Final in Nottingham if available.
Kara was hoping to attend the SPT Grand Final, too, but it now seems that she will be working elsewhere that weekend, which is a great shame.
Male bias on the Channel? I don't think so. On most poker sites, females represent around 4% of the total, so the representation of females on the Channel well exceeds that.
Fact is, there are not that many female players in poker, as a % of the whole, & even fewer who have the will, ability, & interest in appearing on Channel 865.
From our perspective, we'd happily have Vicky or Liv on the Show, but both are very busy these days, & I do not believe they would be interested in accepting our invitation, as it takes up almost an entire day out of their busy schedule. Both of them have given us several interviews, though, which can be viewed on the Sky Poker You Tube Channel.
