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...

No, now that WOULD be stupid. I can't imagine anyone would fall for that though......

last night tikay was discusted at a call by dingdell with q5, wha he has failed to notice was it was 100 to call the allin and she already had 200 on the bb so was getting 6-1 odds with the q5. Nobody  slaughtered him for it. Leave norm alone, on live TV its easy to make mistakes ( I myself got up to shake my opponents hand on the turn in a live TV game when he still had 2 outs, he didnt look best pleased and if he had hit the mircale runner runner I would've looked a right prat). The show is inspired and the software is very user friendly, all blondites should have a go especially when Tikay is on as it gives you a chance to take the mick of him (what on earth was the pink shirt all about grandad?)

I made a misread? Me? What? Never been known.

PS - Apologies Tracey.

Exactly, & you can slate me all day & night Matt!

I'm probably not explaining myelf very well here. What I'm trying to say is, look, the "Expert" has 3 peeps from the Gallery talking to him via his earpiece, he's trying to read a "heads-up" display beamed into a bright green floor, & it's beamed "back to front" for technical reasons, & while thats going off, is trying to make a possibly average hand look exciting & entertaining. So even a really top notch analyser is gonna get it wrong sometimes.

But if it generates publicity for the show hey, so be it.

Like I say, I'm ready & waiting for when I get it wrong - pile in boys, please! Not that there's much chance of that - when did I ever misread a hand, eh?

The pink shirt? Groan.....

But as you commented, it works like this.

Sky buy my "wardrobe", shoes trousers shirts, jackets, the lot. I go to my Dressing room & this evening's ensemble is laid out for me, all freshly laundered & ironed, & I just wear what they tell me to. I do think they are having some fun at my expense, I mean, PINK! But if you think that was iffy, watch out, they have some really "interesting" gear on the "tikay" rack in wardrobe. I can't believe they are doing this to me..... All good fun though, & I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm loving being part of it.

It was me actually  

I have noticed that it isn't immediately obvious from the graphics on the TV screen when hands are played back who is in the blinds, where the button is etc, so I presume it wasn't obvious to Tikay when he was commentating on it either.  Perhaps that's something that can be fed back and looked into?  One other thing while I'm at it - it would be good to be able to see players' chipstacks after they've acted, as well as whether they have called/raised etc.

Tikay any expert should be able to recognise that 55 is drawing deal on this flop pretty quickly! Regardless of the distractions around you!

99% of blondes would tell you 55 is drawing dead even if there was a hand grenade going off near by....

I mean, PINK! But if you think that was iffy, watch out, they have some really "interesting" gear on the "tikak" rack in wardrobe.

FYP because I think you have forgotten this is your new name and it really fits nicely with rack!

I think it's more funny that everyones too embarrassed to correct him.

You are right Flushy, but equally, I do think anyone can make a mistake.  I may even make a mistake eventually.....

Noted Claire, thanks, & yes, it's already been noted, & will be corrected in the next software upgrade.

The show is still in "soft-launch" mode, using, primarily, blonde as a channel for feedback, these glitches will all be sorted before the "Hard-Launch".

Keep the feedback coming.

i think a number of people have taken this post out of the context it was meant.

rookie posted it as a joke, nothing more nothing less. he didnt post it to slate normans integrity as a presenter, analyst or indeed him being a throughly nice guy.

Norman used to be in a very successful comedy double act which the majority of the time involved the two of them setting each other up and taking the piss out of each other. As they say a good comedians can laugh at themselves.

im sure norman can see the funny side of this and take the thread and link in the manner it was posted , tongue in cheek.

over sensetivity seems to be a problem on blonde at the moment and with people overacting claiming norman would be "devestated" by the thread in my opinion is over the top.

On the overside of the coin a few are overly critical. You try standing up for 4 hours analysing hands projected onto a green floor 6 feet away and not make a mistake.

Norman is a top guy and a great member of the skypoker team, long may it continue.

[bolt pp]

so some are being overly critical of Norman and some are being overly critical of those criticising Norman?

You haven't really left much room for anyone to post an opinion either way.

what about if you just coin a couple of phrases for those that want to join in the fun and those that think it inappropriate and they can just copy those.
