Ugh why do these TV shows insist on using people who may well be good players but are clueless commentators!!!
I was cringing listening to the stuff Ulliot was coming out with!

Hes doing a brilliant job commentating imo.
Really good for the poker player who knows something about the game. Wouldnt be ideal for complete beginners maybe, but they can gdiagf.

so funny watching Hellmuth
Durr spot on- any other player and Ronald calls with K10 and Helppii stacks off with AQ

Micko,
In answer to your question...NO-ONE gets an appearance fee for playing and all players pay a $75k buy in. It makes me laugh when I see comments like "they don't even pay to play" or "they are all paid to turn up". We pay for their hotel for the week and drivers to and from airport/studio. To be honest 90% of them are sponsored and their sponsors will may the majority of their buy in as they are guaranteed a minimum of 6 shows and it's the most widely distributed TV show in the World.
With regards to the commentators, I like to use the players in the league. This is mainly for 2 reasons. i) They are the biggest names and greatest thinkers in the game ii) They are involved in the league so they are interested to know/watch the outcome, they are generally funking for certain players and they also understand both the strategy of the format and the points system. Of course Devilfishs' commentary is not everyones cup of tea but I still think Durrrrs last night was spot on.
It's impossible to keep everyone happy but if the hardcore poker fan thinks the show is a "total crapshoot" (a format which keeps the mass audience happy) then hopefully at least they enjoyed Durrrs' analysis.
Eddie

Last night. I think you can access it on the channel 4 website under the catch up section. I enjoyed his commentary. Was funny that Jesse May said one thing and Dwan pretty much kept saying he was wrong. |
