Poker Night Live

[johnbhoy76]

just read on the Pokerzone forum that PNL will air it's last show on 31st May.

a sad day   

[tikay]

Yes, a sad day. We were all contacted personally by Sam Orams yesterday to tell us the news - very good of him to tell us all one-to-one I thought.

The shows will contunue as normal until the end of Apri, & it will be "repeats" in May.

Basically, they could not find enough sponsors for the show, & it's been a bit of a struggle the last few months.

The intimacy of the show, & the freedom which the Presenters of the show were given, made it a hugely enjoyable experience. Rescue attempts are in hand, & let's hope they succeed.

I will be very sorry to see this programme go.
It helped my education in the game so much and had a good mix of presenters with differing playing styles.
Cas and Nicks "discussions" were worth watching even when poker was the last thing on their minds.

Hope it can be saved in some form.

Gutted, just gutted.

Indestructable is receiving counselling due to the show closing..... it ranks alongside 321 and the golden shot as programmes that he will never be able to appear on.... Get well soon Ed

You are not wrong.

Absolutely gutted. The writing was on the wall with various repeats and on one day and not the next which left viewers including me not knowing when to watch. Had hoped that they could find a solution, but never really understood how the channel could actually make money.
Sad news indeed.
 

[Muahahahaha]

It was because of PNL that I first saw Tikay.

It was one of those good news / bad news days.

The good news - If I hadn't seen Tikay on PNL, I'd never have come over here, & bumped into all you great people.

The bad news - I saw Tikay.  Nightmares for weeks.

joking.

JOKING, I say.

It is a sad day though.  This is probably a blimmin stupid question, but how much does a program like pnl cost.  I mean, they seemed to be doing ok, until Tikay came along with his inflated wages.  Three months later, they're in financial doodoo.

( Is Tk down for a final show ?  If so, how about a few of the blonde guys & gals taking over the MTT for the night & showing them how the game should be played )

I am not surprised, PNL didn't really evolve and move with the times, hope all the presenters find equivalent slots

Limp passing to victory.

Absolutely gutted about this as it's one of my favourite programmes. Lets hope the Sky Open makes more use of the PNL presenters rather than ex comedians (no disrespect intended) and focuses a bit more on the theory rather than just commentary as tends to be the case now

Gutted also.

The show was really great, they avoided the temptation to talk a lot of crap and put in a lot of good theory and a great mix of programs, I would personally sign up to any site they were sponsored by just to keep it running.

So much bad commentary elsewhere on poker telly.

Heads up one player holds  "Not sure where he's hoping to get by calling with that" (Errr nut flush maybe?)
Flop
 
"The flop has come 7, 8, King. (I know, I can see it) "No help for either player" (Er nut flush draw player helped maybe?)
 

If Michelle is out of a job at the moment tell her my massage therapist has gone on sabbatical...

Tony Kendal - the Terry Venables of the poker world. (It's Kendall" with two "L's". Think "balls").

The absolute ultimate in back-handed compliments. Venables is a God in the bull**** department, shady in his financial dealings, & gets paid an arm & a leg for doing naff all. I guess you rumbled me then.

I actually well remember Terry Venables when he was playing, initially for Chelsea, then at QPR. Lovely player, with a deft touch. Crap manager though, in the Ferguson/Keegan/Mourinho mould - "give me x millions & I'll buy you some trophies". Give me a Curbushley/Alec Stock/Allardyce any day. Proper Managers them.
