i totally agree with u
his the worst commentator i've ever heard!
these r some of the best in d world and his saying what their doing is wrong?
what happened to varying your plays? what happened to being able to back your play by reasons and logic instead of being told 'it is wrong'
hu's he anyway?

I watched it last week and thought a few of his opinions were debatable, he also says things like "more easier"
However I think the show is great on the whole and hope they do another one soon.

Some of the stuff he was saying was really questionable. Like when Pescatori got dealt   and Greekfish kind of said "wow!" at his hand or words to that effect like it was aces. Is it just me or is that one of the biggest trap hands in hold'em? Even my non poker playing girlfriend knows that. I must admit I was a bit shocked by some of the plays Channing was making (or not making to be precise) but it was all in hands where he was extracting lots of value and he ended up 20k the better, think he came in for a little bit too much criticism. |

i think channing was playing a very cautious game intentionally, i reckon that buyin was quite large for him, correct me if i'm wrong.

Why do you say that? According to the top pro's he is.(not including Greekfish in that comment btw) |

 On the subject of the commentary...No comment! But ...critisicng or trying to second guess players who, are in a different league to you, is at best foolheardy, compound that mistake by patronising players who apear to be in the same league and... you are definately in a hole. Niel is a regular in the "Vic`s" biggest cash games with a buy in of £10,000 plus ...His hybrid style can be very effective. He may have toned his game down due to being on TV, but the calibre of his opponents on this occasion would not have phased him...Imo

It is astonishingly bad commentary. Maybe he does it on purpose so that everybody will believe he's a very very average player?

It was like listening to Ian Frazer, which is not a good thing.

he went on THM forum to defend himself on a similar (but much nastier) thread. Just before his posts are two posts from 'new members' who had signed up that day and only had one post on their profile, both saying things to the effect of "I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary of Andy Greekfish and wish he was on TV more' etc etc  |
