William Hill Grand Prix semi final...Tuesday 10pm

Im afraid Lucy falls into the same bad habit that Roy Brindley does when he commentates. it becomes a breakdown of how THEY would have played the hand. Lucys style works well for her and I endless respect for her as a player but her way isnt the only way. That said, the HU play was very poor after the heat got off to such a cracking start.

Looking forward to the final

What other way is there for someone to commentate other than to give their opinions, based on their experience, which is the combined knowledge of how they have played similar hands.

What's the alternative?

"Well, he could raise here, or he could call or fold. Personally I would raise but there are arguments for calling and folding - there's no right answer" - I would tire of hearing this everytime someone got dealt cards other than AA.

Oddly, Roy did give the absolute spot-on answer as to why he was winning the HU battle - Barny didn't try and nick his blinds, whereas he did steal Barny's.

Thats why i like Howard Lederers style, as he explains the thought process behind plays if they differ from his. This i concede takes great knowledge to be able to do well.

definitely the best pairing.

Andrew, for me a commentators job is to a) describe the action as it's happening and, b) give an insight to that players probable reasoning. I hate to hear a constant critique of someones play by someone with a different style and seemingly a belief that their way is the right way.
