Is this the Premier League as it says? This was such an entertaining show last season(s). The Phil Hellmuth/Tony G/Luke Schwarz combo and all sorts of funny rivalries really made the show.
This was mediocre so far, I like Luke commentary somewhat but I think he was rather disrespectful/out of line to Jesse, in a non-humorous way, on a couple of occasions and it was pretty bad
Thank for that.

yea I think it's in place of the regular NLHE premier league. Totally agree, last one was the best televised poker show i've seen.

Im from the UK and don't really see people like Luke everyday, do you mean in poker or just in general?

I liked his commentary, his analysis is good and I took the way he treated Jesse as a more friendly banter than malicious.
YES! its only a bot of craic with them

Feldman complained recently that he gets no respect from anyone and no one likes him, but for the life of me, watching how he's acting on this show, I can't see why? :/

God I love the commentary for the last 2 episodes, so nice having someone who knows what they're talking about for a change, and who isn't afraid to say it.

luke's commentary is good when he can be bothered to analyse the hands. yes he's a bit brash but good insight nonetheless. he also commentated on some pkr heads up thing a while back

Wow, y'all weren't kidding. Frankenberger is playing like complete garbage. He must be on acid or something; his play makes no sense.

Speaking of weird drugs -- what does THIS mean?

I watched the first hour of last night's PLO session. 2 things struck me: (1) The commentators are awful, so clueless about the game. I expected them to be bad, but really not that bad. (2) PLO's actually a really dull game to watch.

Had to laugh at Sextons comment "im not convinced position in PLO matters as much as it does in hold em"

Its like he thinks hes always talking to his close friends, with the constant **** talking.

I almost spat my drink out when he said he was a douche but not a douche when it comes to poker etiquette. Really Luke? Fkn Really?!?!?!?!

Just imagine how much worse he will become when he finally takes down one of these donkaments.
Oh get over it.

He's one of the best players around and is vey entertaining. He says what's on his mind and he makes this show way, way better.

+1. It was the most entertaining poker show I'd seen in ages.

Didn't see the show but it might make sense in context (again, not saying it did because I didn't see the show).

20 blinds deep in a tourney I'd rather play my bb in a plo round than a nlhe round.

Yeah, that was pretty awful. But pretty much everything he said was. I wish they had 4 colour deck, it's hard to tell the difference of suits when watching.

Just got round to watching the rest of it. It's really tilting how bad they are. Tony & Luke seem to be the only ones with half an idea (even though Tony runs hot) and that Dempsey's a complete donk. He was so lucky in the NLH round, just played like a donk in the PLO.

I dont think Dempseys a donk.He won the first heat and is in great shape to make the final.Tony was the opposite and he was gambling and being overly aggro at the start so dempsey(who didnt need to do well in a game he obviously isnt a fav in) decided to gamble back at him and he lost.

Sexton was commentating as he is a experienced commentator and he has a basic understanding of PLO for the public to understand.Id rather this commentary so that the fish watching can get into the game and understand the basics and its good for the game.

Also, its a bit of a joke how Tilly is chosen for this show.She adds nothing.She is a basic NLHE player,she has never played PLO before and she is annoying but not bad to look at.Why not replace Tilly,Feldman and all the other boring nits with Hellmuth and co. Hellmuth is a nit too but id rather watch him along with luke and tony g rather than listen to Feldman whinge and complain over running bad when hes just an annoying gimp.


Interesting to see PLO on tv.Luke is brilliant.A great player ,his commentary is fun but he is a bit of a prick

He won a load of flips and 40/60's (and worse) to win the first heat. If he lost just one of them he'd have been out, watching him play PLO just confirms it. Maybe he's really great but i've seen no evidence to support it yet.

I actually had to rewind that just to make sure I heard that correctly.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that the PS Big Game commentary was complete crap aswell. That Joe Stapleton is pathetic. Schwartz's commentary on the other hand is awesome simply because it's so natural.

And I don't think who they have on the show are the sort of players you want in a TV lineup normally anyway but especially not in a PLO line up.

Sort of feels like a lot of people declined to be on the show this year and they've just added some people in that just aren't good for TV.

^^ so true

last years premiere league was so good

had hot girl rousso... dynamic between the g & helmuith etc etc...

i think this season really make me appreciate tournament pros like helmuth & daniel though cause they make it more fun to watch even if their play is alil meh at times
