more Melanie Weisner and Mike Leah, less Brian Shin please

Somewhat agree.. Leah was really good, I just wish they would ask him more to commentate the hands as opposed to talk about misc. stuff.

I wish they had done more with it, but I found it very interesting that Leah knew some of the tournament guys in the game while the LATB regs like Harry et al. were unknowns to him. This is the opposite of the situation with the usual commentators.

Newest videos are still supposed to be free on Youtube, right? Randomly it seems these vids will turn to "Private". I was watching the 3/21 episode for a while today, and I tried to scan back to catch something, and it turned to private. Hopefully, they're still in "working out the kinks" mode.

Commentary was terrible last night. Need a 1 month ban on tournament talk.

For the love of god if I never hear Madsen & Wisener on Live at the Bike ever again it will be too soon.

If you aren't into what's going on, if can't make a minimal effort to be professional then get up and leave.

This last episode (3/28) was like 2 kids being given a tape recorder and seeing if they could out goof each other. No real analysis, no real effort. No insight. Thanks for nothing, next time the bike calls do the listeners a favor and pass....

Congrats on the worst episode ever.

Hey Lizette next time you can't find someone for the booth, just go with no commentary and hold cards, that's 100 times better than 2 people making no effort...

+1

I'm embarrassed for both of them.

Hell, even Brian > that singing....

LAB taking jabs every week from viewers. I do think it needs to stick to the basics and analyze play... instead of making it a quasi radio talk show

When is Nichole coming back ? I for one would love to hear someone that takes the job seriously an gives solid commentary.

If she can't get a baby sitter I'd be ok with her bringing them to the booth.

Can't be worse than the 3/28 episode..

I've been wondering where nicole went too

Saw her a few times during the lapc in the top level.

Nichole Jurgens still plays poker around the LA area. I have seen her several times lately, and I don't even play that many hours.

She has two kids under 3 @ home, just had her second recently so I guess she's taking some mommy time.

I hope she returns soon,...

I thought Friday's commentary was pretty good. The long criticism above that said there was "no real analysis, no real effort" is objectively wrong. I enjoy when they do poker talk about non-hands more than most hand analysis. Maybe they went off topic a little too much, but I never complain when the people I'm listening to are loose and honest.

Fridays commentary was cringe worthy!

i agree.i thought owais and melanie were mediocre together but madsen need not be there at all with anyone. its like jr. high detention or something ..huh huh boobies huh huh huh. and at one point the card graphic must have been wrong be cause sam folded AA preflop,but they never even noticed or commented on it.i wound up actually muting the sound when melanie started singing for the rest of the show.

the pre taped thing wasnt a great idea either imo. you dont get a whole lot from the table audio but not having it at all really took something away from the show.
i also seem to remember tuch saying last month he thought nicheol would be back in april but he wasnt sure.

Where's the April Broadcaster Schedule / Game Lineup?

Overall I really enjoyed the 4-1 episode. Owais and David are a good team.

MegaMillions being broadcast right now.

absolute cooler hand that was dealt 3:45 mark.... wow

Let's hope that Friday isn't a cluster frack up...

Wow, that guy gets 4.5 out of 5 stars for co-commentator.

Much improved over the Madsen/Wisner debacle...

Excellent a Job, good commentary.

Well done all

I kinda of like Greg because he encouraged strat talk from Owais. Greg was like AJ Benza and Owais was Gabe.

Agree, commentators were very good. Even though you knew Greg knew the answers he just kept setting Owais up to talk strat. I am not sure how that would work long term but it was good for 1 session.
