FAVOURITE PRESENTER AND WHY? ( JUST BIT OF FUN )
ok i know most people are going to answer michelle big t**s orpe but this thread is on poker knowledge and entertainment personally my favourite is Tikay But got to admit michelle is still very hot i think she should do a show in a bikini that would fun no one would concentrate on their cards lol
Comments
Each of the guys and girl (don't want to huff Michelle!) have their selling points.
I reckon if you go for humour as well as tactics and commentary Tikay & Richard take the biscuit!
They do have challengers in Dan & Matt though!
Having thought about it, I think my favoourite presenter has to be ................... Richard Orford, and favoutite analyst Tony "tikay" Kendall, The A team why? simple they work so well together, great chemistry just like Husband and Wife
But which is which, Ill let them argue about it.
2nd Best Combination: Lobbster + Broughton
Other favorite combo`s would be:
Helen and Tim Nice
TK and Compo
Used to like Helen with Matt but it needed a referee most of the time
All Micheles blonde moments
Still got the hots for Kara tho..mmmm
tikay is brilliant also and michelle is hot as heck but its got be the crew at the club
Wow, thanks for all the nice comments guys. Really appreciated, & I know Rich feels the same.
It's my turn for PTP tonight, so I hope to see some of you at the Tables, I'll be playing Cash, then the 8.15 SleepStack & the 9pm Main Event.
The virtual drinks are on me.
Agreed Dowzer.
The average age of the presenting team would come down a fair bit though if he went. About a century or so, I reckon.
Tikay gets some undeserved stick and is it just me who thinks he is a dead ringer for Doyle Brunson???
You boys crack me up, these back-handed compliments - "tikay reminds me of Doyle Brunson", sigh. Doyle is nearly 80!
But, err, thank you. *
* Terms & Conditions apply. I have requested The Moderators to remove Orford's ageist comment.
Har! Har! Har!
I don`t think it would be fair to pick an individual, i think it is the sum of the parts that makes the show work so well.
I would like to see some of the original analysts making an occasional appearance like Nick and Tim/Jason
mix some of the doubles up a little bit.
Norm and Jason (similar sense of humour)
Keep Tikay and Rich together would be a shame to split them as Tikay has carried him for a long time now.
Rich is just starting to take some of the load off him
How about the occasional celebrity comedian like you used to have "but use one that someone has heard of"
Jo Brand would be good
".....Keep Tikay and Rich together would be a shame to split them as Tikay has carried him for a long time now......"
Oh boy, Orford's gonna love that......;)
Get to ceasers !
Shall be walking round the strip soon after a great first night
Might pop in and see how your getting on
Ben - Yo!
How was your journey?
Why don't you come cross & play Ceasars, too? Noon start - go on, you know you want to!
31st floor ! journey wasn't t bad wanted to play las night after the meal with the
others but my legs litrally died
Might try play something today somewhere when sorted enjoy your day off
Really, it's up to you, I guess you could play tomorrow, but today is my last Rest Day, I'm working non-stop all the way froim here on in, so I doubt if I'll get chance to play again, & it'd be so cool to play a Tourney with you, as I cannot play SPUKT Events, as you know, pah!
Poker - it's why we come to Vegas!
Anyway Ben, whatever you do today, just enjoy. If I don't see you at Ceasars, I might see you tonight - I think it's the "Welcome Dinner". Which will be a problem if I go deep at Ceasars, but on current form, not much danger there!
Later, Ben.
If you want my 'phone number, Adam has it.
[This is a tough call choosing one from all the presenters but i would have to say Tikay.
Thank you Spike, that's very kind of you.
Now, for everyone - not just you Spike - I should explain something.
On the Live Shows, the "front of Camera" pairings are comprised of a Presenter, & an Analyst.
The Presenters role is much harder, they have to be real Pros at what they do. They "drive" the Show, & have to be ready to handle technical issues as & when they arise, & the Show get's it's signature from a good Presenter. They have to write the Script, set the mood & tone, handle "hard counts" into breaks, Promos & "VT's", handle Live 'Phone-Ins, da de da. It's much, much, harder than it looks, & the best Presenters make it look easy.
The Analysts are the "sidekicks" really, our job is a great deal easier - assuming we know our poker basics. We feed off the Presenter, do the Hand Analysis & Tourney analysis, answer the e-Mails, etc. We don't have a script, because all our "to-camera" work is ad-libbed, by necessity, as we do not see the Hands in advance, we see them exactly when the viewers do. We operate the "clicker", a litle remote control device which, when clicked, shows the next "action", & if we talk too much, or too little, or go too slow, or too fast, the Producer tells us to speed up/slow down via our earpiece from the Gallery.
All this, of course, depends on the Production Staff, in the Gallery, without whom there would be no Show. There lies the real skill, but that's another story. All our Procuction Crew can play poker to a decent standard - one is actully a Ladies World Champion.
So thats how it works. As you can see, The Presenters role is much tougher, & entails far more work, more skill, & greater responsibility.*
* Rich Orford excepted.
