Anyone else watching EPT???

Colin Murray is laying into De Wolfe big time- to be fair he's not making the best reads but Murray makes some ridiculous comments about people's play.

Anyone else think he's a shit commentator?

Shouldn't you be concentrating on a WSOP seat?

I hadn't watched any of the epts till recently - i watched the 2004/5 series and how John Duthie keeps hiis calm is beyond me. Murray incessantly makes absurd comments that Duthie tries to diplomatically to "discuss", but despite this Murray tries to slag off Duthie who he seemingly dooesn't realise is doing his best to try and stop him appearing to be the complete idiot that he is.

yeh it did, pissed me right off.

I think colins ok just treat him as a normal guy and not an expert, not that you would anyway, but he has been bang on with everything he said about de wolfe, he has been playing ridiculously and getting very lucky!!!!
And i have a new found respect for vicky coren now as they say she got lucky to win the london ept, well thats BS now coz look at the luckster rowlands been and everyone gives him massive credit as a player.
Its not hard to be a great player when you're hitting everything as a 35% dog, hell even i could have sat there and done what he did (debatable!). PRIME EXAMPLE was the thornsen 99v rowland J3 hand, he played it absolutely awfully, in fcat if someone had played like that in the blondepoker tounrey tonight u would never rate that player again!!!!

Rant over, God Bless!

At the same time that De Wolfe hit the Jack on the river against Yong, I had someone hit a 5 on the river to crack my aces - I think we were both pulling the exact same gutted face (though mine was only a $200 SNG).

Murray is terrible, you can hear the frustration in Duthies voice. I saw one hand where somebody hit a set on the turn and the other guy had a pair of nines with an ace kicker.

CM "He needs a 9 and he need it fast"

JD "But...that would give X a full house"

CM "At this point he is drawing dead, lets see if the river can save him"

I don't mind Colin Murray.  He's no worse than any of the football commentators who spout a lot more nonsense than he does.

I don't think he'd claim to be a poker expert - that's the role of the person alongside him (Duthie, Raymer, etc.).

And I would agree with you kinboshi if he didnt try and analyise the game.

Classic example- guy utg has about 8 bb's left finds K10- auto push.

Murray berates him for pushing with such a weak hand when he gets called by AQ

Then 4 limpers into a pot- De Wolfe has AQ, he's been rising with all sorts of shite earlier- Murray then comments on the fact that De Wolfe is turning the hand into a crapshoot by raising (WTF?) even tho he induces a big bluff from Nick Slade with J9

Stick to raido Colin (which you're shite at too incidentally)

Is the EPT producing their own shows? If so, if John Duthie's frustrated with Murray (fair enough, I quite like Murray on Fighting Talk where his style is just right but he irritates the pants off me on the EPT shows) why doesn't he just get rid of him?

Haven't watched it yet. Did the show just stop, or did they just wrap it up without showing anything after they agreed to the chop leaving only around 60k Euros to play for?
