the "expect analysis" is (i believe i was once told to use the word) "interesting"

I usually don't get too critical of tournament reporting but I have been very unimpressed with the Paddy Power Blog over the tournament, reports are few and far between, there are no graphics for cards and sometimes the suits are missing (which is always a pet peeve of mine). Also, look at the way they report Eames losing to quads. John Eames was just taken to value town by Aleksi Savela. John Eames makes it 90k to get the action started and Aleksi Savela makes it 290k from the blinds. Eames calls and we see a flop of K-J-T.
Savela leads out for 155k and this is quickly called by Eames.
The turn is the  and action goes check-check.
We see the  on the river and Aleksi leads out for 425k, just under half of Eames stack. Eames calls but mucks immediately when he sees the superbly played JJ of Aleksi
Chips: 3.1m Aleksi, Eames: 600k1) Pretty sure Valuetown is one word in this context. (I know, not that important and I'm being pedantic) 2) How can you play quads superbly on a 4-straight paired board when your opponent has a very strong narrow range? Surely checking turn is bad here as Eames' range is things like A-Q+, T-T+ which he can't be folding at this point. Obv John has moves but he's not spazzing around 8-handed on a big final table here. On the plus side, Jesse May is great as ever on the live stream. Completely agree with this. The blog is also difficult to read - lots of separate pages rather than one continous report. I stopped reading it tbh. |

he will have been asked to do this george. he never claims to be any good at poker but do agree he is not suited to poker annalysis. i'm rooting for surinder but have played with seamus twice and he is very much in the keith johnson mould. he is awesome at poker but is quiet and unassuming. they could have been seperated at birth

He can always say no Jase. Him trying to commentate poker is like me commentating on the pole vault. If I was asked to do I would politely decline |

or if the irish love his personality - then get someone in the booth to talk poker and let him crack the [ ] jokes I with george - i know commentary is a very difficult job, but you dont havee to say yes! His hand analysis is "interesting" |

Ok. He is my friend so am I little more tolerant. Just think it's better than saying let's put the hands in poker stove and see. I have seen keys on sky poker and must admit he did an excellent job but much prefer to hear the ramblings of Neil. Some people want to listen to BBC commentary but give me keys and Gray anyway

So someone invites you guys offers to pay you a fee for doing a job you know not alot about and you turn it down in favour of getting hee haw and letting someone else take the gig.
TV poker is not made for poker players. I don't know many people that play poker at any serious level who take TV poker/commentary seriously.

The May fella is terrible but he makes the game sound exciting, a bit like that Sid Waddell fella on the darts. Poker can only be an exciting game if you play it/understand what the fucks going on but for some random flicking through Sky they haven't got a clue you have to make it out to be exciting. Jeezo have any you ever watched Sky Poker? The commentators on there appear lolbad but hey it seems to be going from strength to strength and when I read posts on here from that old bloke he is always making the same point. Horses for courses innit. |
