I like Lucy's commentary - its frank, open and more often accurate than not.
I think the criticisms of play were well deserved in tonight's heat. The heads up was some of the most abysmal televised poker I've seen in ages.

I like Barny Boatman and Gary Jones the best. They are really helpful in terms of explaining things. When they analyse a players game, they never patronise the guy.
There's a difference between patronising someone and criticising them. Many of these players have never had their play criticised in commentary before and it hits home and hurts because, well, some of them play very badly sometimes. In tonight's heat, Barny played liked a numpty in a few hands (though redeemed himself calling Roy's bluff with his KJ) and, in my opinion, Lucy quite rightly pointed this out. I'm not going by just tonight's heat, through the whole series I've found her commentary irritating. |

I remember some of the L.N.P commentaries as well. I felt the same then about the way she commentates. I am not saying she is wrong. It is just that I prefer Barny Boatman or Gary Jones. They put their point across without making the person look like an amatuer. I am sure she is a nice lady and could run rings round me on the poker table ( at the moment  ). I just find her voice and comments grating on the ears. Coupled with Jessie May, I can't think of a more painful combination. Actually Virgo and Clive Everton. Or maybey Sid Waddel... I also like the fact that Jones and Barny Boatman actually play the events where they commentate. This comment will be ridiculed I am sure " but she has won this and won that". I know she has and I have read she is very good. But I haven't seen her play. On the other hand, I have seen BB and GJ and they are both top class. |

The commentator who has struck me as a complete natural and supremely knowledgable to boot is Andy Black.
I've not heard his commentaries before watching this series but I am full of admiration.

I agree, Andy Black is a very good commentator. I think he and Gary Jones are the best we have to offer. I also like Howard Lederer on US shows as he explains poker plays even if he doesnt agree with them. He goes into detail to explain moves and the reasoning behind them not just totally dismiss them as bad. Which IMHO goes a lot further in encouraging new players to the game and makes it more enjoyable to watch. A bit like Daniel Negreanus' theory articles (pre" born again "days) I dont think Lucy was too bad, at least she gave some explanation why she thought people were making weak/bad plays |
