DTD £500,000 Deepstack Day 3 and FINAL

None of your business lee!

I never like to openly criticize people, but the reason Zimbler has been getting a load of stick for the commentary is because his commentary was god-awful it was basically just blithering nonsense from start to finish. DTD spent a lot of money on the television equipment etc and want feedback, feedback is what they are getting here.

In before someone shows me Zimbler's hendon mob.

+1




I think Goulder, Keys, Keith, goodness me - even Langley could have crushed it.  I understand that PZ has been doing other commentary on other tours, but in this instance it wasn't a good 'poker' choice.  

Tighty was a phenominal talent in the booth and really excelled yesterday, with his spoken word being even better than his written with the tone and the quick wit with which it was delivered.  (Fast becomming one of my poker favourites.. - ill try to not tell you any nories sir)


imo - it needs to be

Tighty and guest.. with a variety ranging from The RastaFish to Keith to Dubai to Dom Kay to Cody and even guest stars when the Americans/ Europeans turn up.

I was one of the ones on the 'anti-rail' of PZ and I tried to be constructive with my criticism and as I'd had a few beers I'd like to apologize if anyone thought I wasn't.
However I will not be removing my comment of him being a poor choice, and for me much of my watching experience was interrupted by Skype chatter with 'poker-friends' (like football-friends but more degen) discussion about just how horrendous much of his strategy was and how results orientated his entire commentary was.  I was 'lucky' enough to miss the time where his mate 'Dave' was about but from the reports on here, it should have been curbed after the first comment.  Even the most relaxed poker amateur who doesn't care about any strategy and just enjoys his poker is going to get wound up with the commentators favoritism.

All in all, a great tournament, well run, everyone clearly worked their socks off... but its not completely perfect yet.
9/10 dtd - nice hand sir

I did a commentary once.

It is very very difficult, and mine wasn't live, I could go back and rerecord stuff that was tez.

Cut the geezer some slack, especially if he did the job for no pay.

He did get paid Keith.

How much?

I'll pm you it

none of your business either, and I very much doubt you know the facts.

Tighty is the nuts. Tighty and guest would be the best outcome. I heard Tom Langley on the Rivals stream and thought he was very good but I could not listen to him all the time. There are very few Jesse Mays out there but I definatly think Tighty is a great anchorman. It's all about balance for me and love the jokers in there having fun but also appreciate that the more technically gifted and analytical thinkers deserve the airtime too.




Oh yeah I have abso no idea how much he got paid but would assume he got offered more than me

Sorry tighty just being me

Lynch him then

[smashedagain]

Lol Lee & Keith

My experience as a comm:

It was a pre recorded GUKPT from season 1 when the whole tour was on Ch4.

I was the "expert" lol alongside Vicky Coren who did the main commentary.

She made it really easy. Teeing me up with lots of easy points to make and punchlines to deliver.

Having said that it was so difficult to say fresh stuff about each hand.

Took about 4 hours to record the whole show.

And just for Lee.. I was paid a monkey.

I'd be surprised if you'd get more than half for that for a live stream.

[leethefish]

Thanks Kieth I really couldn't put any kind of figure on it !

[LeeMcshane]

Congrats to ratsa again and george for another great run and cash

Patrick has written to Rob and asked to sort out stuff off forum

He's happy for us to take it all down, just to keep everyone in the loop
