2015 WSOP sweat thread - Page 2 - Poker News

****ing hate the color commentator with his nasely voice, hes so ****ing arrogant and stuck up. **** cant stand him who is he?

hes one of those"prolific"geeks from H.S that thought he was the **** since he knew everything and was so judgmental of others

Totally agree. They tend to be way too technical and have no personality or entertainment. Don't have to be full Norman chad but c'mon guys.

Yeah, it's just constant dry analysis. There needs to be some variety.

idk i stopped watching when it was 4 handed and wang was the short stack, i assumed bryn kenney was going to win, but tournament poker is unpredictable

Wow. Cannot believe people are complaining about the commentary on the stream. The stream they have produced for this year is of an unbelievably high quality and it is free. Amazing content for no money, but still some people have to find something to cry about.

yeah unfortunately when you bring most professionals into the booth they talk strategy on a high level, if they couldn't do that i don't think they would go into the booth, we would just have tuchman.

last years milly maker final table with eric baldwin was great because they had ryan welch and brent hanks and they were just drinking beer and having a good time

I went to sleep thinking the same thing. Kenney was playing real well thought he was going to take it down for sure.

...... and FREE!

Is it because most people watching are serious players so they want to hear the technical strat talk from guys like Jason Somerville?

I used to prefer no hole card cams than being able to see the cards but I think analysis is so non results oriented because of the good analysis in the booth, it doesnt matter

Would like everyone to read this since it seems like I started the "dry"analysis discussion.

my post WAS REGARDING TO max steinberg, I thought he game across as condescending and arrogant and snarky, and his voice didnt help. I WOULD RATHER MUCH have dry analysis that helps me think about the game. but I just thought max can come across poorly imo

the commentary is and always has been great though. I feel people missread my post
