The commentary is actually quite refreshing today and you seem to be on your game with the fast paced action so far.

he's articulate, talks mad sht on ftp like a man is supposed to do, and a respectable cornell grad.

only thing I have against him is his picture of himself smiling in his twitter/website is a tad bit gay for my taste.

I don't think I've ever seen 2+2 (NVG at least) have so much, almost universal, love for a player/commentator/human being before (eyebrows aside lol). How's he ever gonna get any action after this series?

Its hard to appreciate a man who knowingly deals with a gold digger that has a face more worn and torn than 30 year old Italian Leather Loafer.
90% sure he is cuckolding.

But sick graph. No denying that.

Second, anyone saying to add Esfandiari is out of their mind. While livb's commentary has been easily as good as poker commentary gets (matched only by the commentary by Ike in durrrr challenge), esfandiari is typically spouting nonsense that makes me think how happy I would be to have him at my table in a 10k.

Anyway, livb should be the analyst on everything ever televised for poker. I can't even watch the other wsop segments nows...

I wish they could have two pros and they would switch off doing color commentary (LivB and Galfond would be ideal imo)
