well it's stopped repeating gone dark - guess that means they are fixing it?

back

Right as they bag!!

lol at pokergo for not covering the bubble play. lolol

hmm back just in time - to end the show


Hate we miss everything after dinner

Should have paid $20 each to get full coverage

Really ridiculous there's no coverage of the money bubble. Plus we missed the last couple hands there with the stream dying.

So the stream just ended in mid-hand and that's all she wrote?

Stream came back for like a half a hand then it was dinner break and the end of the coverage. No coverage of the bubble.

That is pretty crazy. I thought about giving them $10 solely just to see the money bubble. If they would have planned on showing it they would have got my $10 (for just one month)

**** poker go , their ****ty payment processor charged me twice then somehow it declined the card. the online "chat" couldnt be less helpfull if they tried. **** pokergo so much. i dont even watch tv but ill pay for cable just to watch the main event before i ever give that ****ty ****ing site another dollar.

Can't believe you guys want to sit through hand for hand coverage... Yes, amount of coverage is poor but I definitely won't complain about missing the bubble.

Day 3 event replay still showing live stream of EVENT HAS ENDED sign. I wonder if they'll have it up by the start of day 4?

It's usually up within 16 hours.

Is Ja Rule the CEO of Poker GO?

Yes. It's unquestionably inhumane for PokerGO to take my $10 and not deliver every minute of the main event. ****ers.

That table was great. Lots of action.

You just know that we are gonna get gipped somehow tomorrow based on level 16 being played right now instead of tomorrow like scheduled

Thankfully the 8-11 ET slot is ESPN time, and there's zero chance they'll cut into that. The "extra" half hour on pokerGO will likely be gutted though.

RIP Pokergo. Terrible coverage.

I have a bad feeling they think Antonio-Lon-Norm is their A- team. Schullman, Not Lon and Norm is as good as it gets I think. If you can dodge Antonio, Laak, Gross you are having a good day.

I have been watching ESPN's Main Event coverage, and I even caved in and bought PokerGO because I love the Main Event. While I basically enjoy it, I cringe at what I see is a blown opportunity to attract more casual fans. The whole packaging of the event is wrong..its difficult to follow the hands and action. The worst is the announcers rambling- in the last couple of days I've heard a lot about golf, baseball spring training, poker stories from games 10 years old. running the marathon...but not enough about what is actually going on at the felt. These are not merely 10-second digressions; they often babble nonsensically for extended periods.

Why not at least pretend that what is going on at the table is kind of important? I realize most hands are not thrilling; so give us some background about the players so people can at least care a bit about them. With the announcers spewing nonsense, combined with the mic'ed-up players talking about things that don't interest anyone, I don't see how the casual viewer who stumbles upon poker while channel-surfing has any incentive to follow what could be an interesting event.

I completely agree. And, of course, the rambling-bumbling style of announcing live poker is doubly annoying to seasoned poker players in the audience.

I and many others have been critical of the announcing (both on ESPN and PokerGO). It seems that the industry of announcing live poker is in its infancy and people are still trying to figure out the correct "approach".

Some announcers (L**) may be great at being the soundtrack of after-the-fact poker highlight shows but awful at live poker announcing. Other announcers have a tendency to tell long rambling stories with no connection to what is going on at the poker table we are watching.

Everybody is different, I suppose, but I (John Q. Viewer) expect/require/demand that the announcers call the action correctly. Ideally including position and bet sizes. And including possible draws. Too often, far too often, have hands been miscalled. Basically (imo) miscalling a live hand is the absolute worst thing a live poker announcer can do.

Let me end this cheery post by opining that by far the best commentator has been Nick Schulman.

The rambling can be pretty annoying at times. Especially when there is a hand developing that is being ignored. The stories and stuff are acceptable for smaller events and early days of the Main I guess but when we get late into day 5, day 6 and beyond it will no longer be appropriate IMO. They should talk a bit more about the players at the table. They have barely made any observations about the overall play at the tables.

Also looks like PokerGo is extending their coverage to 12 midnight ET tonight.

Do you guys think there is going to be a major back lash when Poker Go does not stream the final table of the main event. Several Poker Vloggers are talking about singing up and following the main event but don't mention that the service will not be showing the good parts of the Main Event.

I am a little pissed as i hate commercials and would perfer poker go over ESPN.

They said from the get go that PokerGO wasn't streaming the final table.
That's ESPN territory..
