Title: Irish Open Slowroll - a commentator's view Post by: Tal on April 20, 2015, 09:33:19 AM http://www.irishpokerboards.com/forum/showpost.php?p=888949&postcount=220
The thing I found most interesting is that the commentators knew the details of the hand before it happened, as they were on a 30 minute delay. Is that standard? Watching it again, you hear the commentary in a completely different - and in my view more sinister - light. Were they out of order or is the commentator apologising for nothing?

If you're playing at that level you should know the basics. It's not rookie night. And it should be at least obvious that you are wasting people's time.

"on your bike german" lol #JusticeRiver As I said in OP, what I find most unpalatable is that they knew what the river was going to be and cheered it in like it was a pleasant surprise.

The commentary was unpalatable if they had not known the outcome, to have known what was coming and carry on the way they did was extremely poor form.

In a word, no. In most situations where commentators are watching a delayed feed, they don't have access to "advance" information - especially the details/results of specific hands.

Thank you. I'm going to attempt to grasp the nettle... What was it like commentating on this hand?

The commentary for the TV shows involves a fair degree of preparation and production, and a small element of acting. But I'm still genuinely shocked that the guy called the raise.

I can well imagine he's never lived that call down. If he were my friend, I wouldn't be a true friend if I let him forget it :D "Did you not hear what Kremser said, mate?"
