dave,

always thought you were great commentator, and a super nice guy to boot.
only thing that annoys me is how you sometimes seem to feign a british accent during commentary, and you go in and out of it.
just curious why you do this.
but i absolutely love how you mock RWIII so often on million dollar cash game.

cheers bud.

The British accent thing was something I did a bit in season 2, but quickly lost it. If you hear it subsequently, it's not something I do on purpose. Having lived there and been with British girls for the better part of the past 10 years has rubbed off.

I'm back in the States now, so hopefully, it'll be gone.

Thanks for the love J

How you been?

DT is pretty good at dumbing it down for a general audience while not making it sound like the game is trivial, something Norman Chad can't do, for example. His commentary on LATB is generally more "inside," and tactical because it isn't for a general audience and he doesn't have to dumb it down at all.

That's all I had to say.

I'm not a huge fan of Tuckman's announcing because he turns EVERYTHING into a question.

"Omg he can't possibly call here, can he??!"
"But I don't think he could raise, could he? omg he just said raise, can he really do that in this spot?"
"but what is going to call him here? only a better hand right"?

etc, etc etc.

Although I have not heard much of Dave's other poker commentary, he was spot on in Friday's Live at the Bike show. He gave detailed analysis of each hand played as well as kept it entertaining for the casual poker player.

he is easily one of the best poker commentators out there. Him and Bart Hansen are my 2 favs.

if this is the case (and i imagine if RBT etc are saying then it is) then I can change my opinion on Tuckman but at the moment the fact that he talks seemingly seeking approval on stategy from RWIII is creating the impression that he's even more ignorant than him which is amazing.

if DT is trolling RWIII he might be my new fav guy

That (seeking approval) is just a standard part of working in TV commentary with a "colour" guy, IMHO.

And certainly in the last episode he was happy to completely disagree with Williamson on Feldman's AA hand v Durr's A9.

FWIW - also agree his stuff with Eric Liu was very good.

Not his fault he's got to work with that madman RW3

100% agree
David your commentary on LATB is very good, I really wish you didn't have to play up to RW being the expert and do more talking yourself.

Nobody will ever be perfect. Doing LIVE broadcasting is extremely difficult. Not every hand is real exciting and L@TB is getting the bugs out (graphics wise) and will get better. Nichoel is getting better and BART is excellent. Patience. Thumbs up for TUCK.

You have to understand that he is commentating LIVE for hours at a time. Anyone who does that is going to make the odd mistake. Most televised poker commentating is recorded after the fact and they can correct or re-do any commentary that has mistakes.

Even with the ability to "fact-check" and take there time recording, I have found that Lon McEachern and Norman (and other commentators) Chad have often still managed to miss groups of outs.

Cut Tuchman some slack. He is good at what he does.

Tuch does a great job on LATB and the WSOP streams.

Yeah, the guy has put in many 10s of hours on the WSOP streams, he's pleasant to listen to, seems like a very nice guy, and at his best when he has someone else in the booth with him to bounce stuff off.

Haven't really read the thread, but I'm gonna state right here that Jessy May is the most god awful commentator. Makes David Tuckman look like Kaplan

I like Tuckman but sometimes he annoys me when he cuts special guests off when they are talking.
