Busquet would def be number 1 choice. Ike and Negreanu wouldn't be bad choices. I wouldnt even mind Hellmuth for 1 event (both nothing more than that).

So its smart on their end.
So make the livestream pay-per-view for the hardcore fan. I still remember the Jerry Yang FT where you had to pay for the stream. Most of 2+2 would probably pay 10 bucks or so to have a reliable stream from day 1 instead of having no stream or some justin.tv links that get pm'ed like last year.

This way they keep their core audience for the packaged shows and the ones they lose they already make money off. Everybody wins.

Without hole cards, I won't be watching. Which makes the fact that there won't be any TV coverage of the players championship even more of a shame.

May be now that the FT won't be on TV, they'll rethink about making the final table HORSE again in the future instead of just NLHE.

I've worked on live broadcasts that show hole cards and many that don't. I can see merit for both and I still think the show can be compelling and entertaining regardless.

That said, I do come on here once in a while, so if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, shoot away.

I'm excited to say a few big names have already reached out to me...and I'm sure we'll have loads of Bart Hanson.

Galfond at #1

Then LivB and Antonio Esfandiari. Both did an immense job last year.

Who didn't enjoy the 50k players championship? I thought it was great. The final tables that sucked were the ones with no commentary at all. And where the no hole cards will hurt is in the main event from day3 and on. Seeing a lot of random people playing really tight and no hole cards is going to be where the coverage will suck.

I generally agree with you, but because this is branded WSOP, the casual viewer is going to be the same guy who has time off from work that doesn't miss an episode (tivo'd or not) of the M.E. on ESPN. That being said, these casual players are also not very good, and would not tune in to a broadcast (as good as you are at commentating, and this is not a shot at you), to have someone talking about ranges throughout the duration of the hand. They want to know the cards from the get-go and how the player played them. Are you sure you have no say in the matter trying to get the network to deliver some sort of "hole cam card" either LATB style or the actual camera?

Thanks Dave!

The stream was unwatchable for me last night (event 2). It was cutting out every few minutes, would hold for a bit and cut out again. Sometimes it said "the host has took this off air" and sometimes it would just freez and a 5 minute timer would come on and countdown before it came back on.

I really like veetle as it's usually clear but I've known these kind of problems with them before

So when's Tuck gonna start chirping? No commentary on the nearly epic FT last night, and now for the 3k HU, didn't seem there was any either. Not to mention, the fixed cam made it unwatchable (couldn't see boards), and the stream failed for me twice.

I watched it last night (event 5) and it was much much better. Didn't cut out at all, clear and good commentary/guests
