lol.

If it had been me I would have said something like 'Yep, I just have to avoid that pesky 5th five and I win' Although she would never be back on the show lol.

Poor Norman, he tries hard.

I know what it's like to make a glaringly obvious mistake and be the only person who doesn't realise it, I've done it so many times, but I still shudder when I think about it.

I was talking to a reporter once about amateur boxing and somehow in my mind I got the words "adrenalin" and "urine" mixed up. I kept saying things like "When the urine starts pumping" and "Sometimes it's only urine that keeps you going"

<Blush>

I have nothing but sympathy for Norman.

Poor bugger

Chili was nice to him, I couldn't have not laughed.

I'm sure we've all done it at some point, especially at a crucial point of a tourney - cheering with delight as the third heart drops on the river to give you the nut flush, giving the air a quick fist pump as you watch the chips sliding to your opponents then the dawning realization that the board had paired and you're out of the tourney........

Having never watched this on sky poker could someone just give me a quick explanation on how it works? Is the tournament prerecorded before the show goes out even though the show is live? Seems a slight advantage half way through the hand to have the studio commentator say "Oh and look your opponent in the pot has also flopped a lower full house"!!

Hi Matt,

Para 2 first. No, the Tourney is not pre-recorded, but it runs 5 mins ahead of the TV show, so there can be no funny business. So we are always reveiwing action that took place 5 or more minute ago.

As to making mistakes on a hand, yes, I agree with you, we've all done it, "missed" the obvious. I hit my flush last week for a huge pot in a Live Tourney, geezer shook my hand, "hard luck tikay". Eh? He'd paired up & hit his boat, & I'd missed it. Doing it on Live TV is a bit of a nightmare, especially when someone then goes & makes fun of you!

Norman Pace is gonna be devestated about this thread, he's been a blonde for an absolute age, & reads blonde Forum from top to bottom every single day, & is one of life's most genuine men. Technically, the show is as tough as it gets, it's excruciatingly difficult in fact, & he made a mistake. Given the amount I make, it's a wonder I've not been shot at dawn! Yes, he's in the public eye, & so there to be thrown stones at, but if his missus starts lobbing 'em back, you'd better hide!

Chin up Norman (blondeite "spiny"), we love you. Not much like, but a bit.

To be fair though if you are paid to do a job, and make a mistake in your job, then surely you will be expecting some flak!

cheers Tikay for explanation - so as you are running through hands live on tv the tournament is still being played?

In the clip that was featured in this thread you can see all the cards that the other players have passed as well as the ones that are currently still in play (even though they were from 5 minutes earlier).

Surely this is a massive advantage to those in the studio or are watching the program on sky as they play over those who don't have access to the program as they can work out how all the other players at their table play? How many times they bluff, whether they always have the goods when they check raise, their starting hand requirements when they bring in for a raise etc etc etc.

True, true. I was, as ever, just giving some balance, thats all.

You can rip into me all day & all night when I make a cock-up- I'd be disappointed if you did not, in fact. Not that you'd ever miss the opportunity.......

True Matt. But folks know when they enter that hands are gonna be reviewed on the show while the Tourney is in progress, it's a £10 Tourney, & many players enter it for that very reason, so their play can be analysed on Live TV & they are gonna grt name-checked.

[kinboshi]

When the 'celebs' bust out of the main tourney they play in STTs.  As the show is live these are obviously in real-time.

So, if a celeb was stupid enough to announce that he had a particular hand - say, for argument's sake J7o on a KJ3 board - then his opponent would be at a huge advantage if he was watching the telly.

Obviously, no one would be that stupid - would they...
