[Caseace48]

Agreed, just not as often...unless its player induced not variance induced

link?

ask blanks since he watched it online so he knows where to find it

 

[blankoblanco]

the 2009 PCA can be found at a place called the poker bay, for anyone who is interested. google it and you will find it

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Yaarrr mateys... prepare to walk the plank!

 

[GeoffLacey]

Seriously, when you watch a wsop broadcast, followed by a EPT broadcast, it just makes me lol. EPT stuff is in another league. Thanks for the mention about the PCA switch

 

[S93]

How so Geoff?

 

[GeoffLacey]

How so Geoff?

Just seems so much more professional. Very, very well made, decent commentary. I mean, for example, episode one of the PCA for this year has Ali Nejad and Negreanu. I mean that, or Norman Chad and Lon Macheron? It just gives off an air of... I dunno, quality. Whereas, imo, the shows of WSOP events doesn't.

Meh, maybe I'm just basing my thinking on the 40k and Tournament of Champions, which weren't great anyway. Might be fairer to asses after the ME, but still... I just think EPT coverage is a looooooot better

 

[vanquish]

heh the worst is WPT.


"OH MY GOD MIKE HE JUST BET ONE MILLION DOLLARS ON THE FLOP WITH A DRAW!!!!!!!! MIKE ALSO I BANGED YOUR WIFE"

"THATS RIGHT VINCE, RIGHT HERE ON THE DOUBLE YOU PEE TEA A MAN IS LIABLE TO MAKE A MOVE WITH... ANY! TWO! CARDS!"

No, the worst is the WSOP with that jackass who makes annoying comments about what everyone is wearing and makes jokes so bad that they can't even be called corny. And it's not even live commentary: I read that the WSOP commentators dub it in afterwards (and yet still those are the best jokes that guy can find). Give me an announcer who is educational. No, really, please give me an announcer who teaches: if you know any broadcasts like that, I'm all ears.

ali nejad is pretty much the only good poker commentator around, since he only makes rare jokes but they are funny and he understands poker.

You have to kill it if you want to get any sleep tonight.

 

[switch0723]

My weapon of choice is a giant pink mixing bowl, but the spider has vanished behind the tv in a mesh of wires and i can't see it from range. So now have to poke the wires using large stick to try and make it move

 

[Lemlywinks]
