how are the analysts chosen? Apart from the right honourable lord kendall I have seen some very suspect advice given.
A question, and an implied, but entirely objective, criticism, there, and I'll deal with them seperately.
So Cos,, as you say, sparing my blushes I imagine, "suspect advice, the honourable Lord Kendall apart", I'll answer best I can, but exclude myself from the the content of the reply, as one can but wonder how I got the gig.
"suspect advice".
Well yes, possibly, & possibly not.
Consider first that the market Sky Poker serves is a little different to the poker world you inhabit. Many, the majority in fact, of Sky Poker players are quite new to the game, & advice given is tailored with that in mind.
And of course, we all see every situation different, even the Big Boomer Boys rarely agree on detail.
Take the question I Posted in this thread. Everyone pretty much agreed, all the Chips were going in, Passing was never an Option as it played out. We all agreed that I think. But the line we took differed substantially, with HotPots such as Flushy, Action Man, & Alex, all taking different slants as to how, & when, the money should go in. They cannot all be right - or can they? Ask anyone how to play, say, A-K, in a given situation, & I bet you get 20 different answers.
If you agreed with, say, Flushy on this thread, then by definition, you disagreed with, say, Rick, or Alex. Does that make the advice of any of them, suspect? No, of course not. It's just different routes to the same end, & it's all subjective.
So, if someone has a different view to, say, you, it does not necessarily mean that advice is suspect. It may, but not necessarily. That's why PHA Boards are such great reading - so many different views on identical subjects & seemingly simple questions.
TV Analysts are no different. They offer differing views, sometimes ABC, sometimes not, & it's all good fodder to mull over.
How are the Analysts chosen? See the next Post, please.
