Just been watching The Open on Sky Poker - LOL what a load of .......

[LPM Champ]

Basically the 2 blokes hosting tonight are clueless.  Its that Jonny Gould who use to do the baseball on five and some other bloke (so called EXPERT i think).

66 v KQ on a 6 7 K 10 board and they are both shouting "only a K can save him now"!!!!!

LOL clueless.

Then another 10 comes on the river and they are saying Full house for the guy with 66.

Well what would a King on the river made?

How do they get on TV. 

Well it made me laugh.

[TightEnd]

Don't worry, it'll be better tomorrow night.

 

[Colchester Kev]

Im coming out in a rash just thinking about it !!!

[LPM Champ]

you want to get some cream for that!!

I only watched it for 15 minutes but I thought Jonny was carrying the other guy who misread the board 3 times that I saw as well as the kinda cringeworthy 66 v KQ hand. Must be hard doing live TV of course. I just kept thinking about Totalise's point that you should have reached a certain standard of play before you try to teach people how to play. I somehow doubt the presenter plays 25/50 which tote was saying is where he thinks people are good enough to coach. He was saying how great some all in was when some guy had a straight and all it was gonna do was force worse hands to fold. Seemed a bit surreal to me. Not trying to rain on anyones parade. GL to all involved, must try to catch a bit of Kev tomorrow.

Has Hells Bells called in sick yet for tomorrow?

I caught a bit of it tonight and im sorry to say some of the analysis was erm well how do i put this amateurish. Im not attaching blame to Johnny Gould who is their to anchor and present not do the poker, but the analyst was terrible IMO. My only hope is that whoever he is teaching sits down at my table tommorrow.

There was one hand a j 10 9 6 rainbow board and on the river it went bet then big raise and the original bettor managed to laydown the mighty j3o. The analyst was proclaiming this as a world class laydown, hmmm ok.

[bobby1]

who was the analyst?

[Ironside]

remember the analysis is aimed at the total beginners who found poker via the red button

and alot of the comentators on big shows like the WSOP make gaffes

that being said tonights pro made tikay look like phil ivey

who was the analyst?

Paul Musselle was the Expert this evening, he can also take the Presenter's role when need be & he does it well.

Johnny Gould is a world-class Presenter in my opinion, he does not lay claim to be a huge Poker Expert, but he is all enthusiasm, energy & drive, & for those who work with him, he's known as the ultimate pro. His enthusiasm & oohing & aaring are not "for effect", he genuinely loves Poker & I think he conveys the spirit of the game wonderfully to the sort of player the show targets.

Who is that?

[LPM Champ]

I also think Jonny Gould is great, loved him on the baseball, my post was really aimed at the expert.

[tikay]

Well I'm hardly gonna criticise him, as it's my turn tomorow (Tuesday).......

Think I'll turn blonde off for a few days!

Errr which is your view?

They're still ironing out the creases, and it's not really aimed at the intermediate and beyond, which is what the guy from Sky came on here and said, (something that impressed me most). Give them a break and I'm sure they'll improve.
