The Galfond Challenge - Match 3 (ActionFreak @ 150/300) - Page 8 - Poker News

Moving to party was a mistake. Not being able to follow the result live really takes away from the viewer experience. Why would we want to watch two people, one of them completely unknown, play with cards that we can't see, with a result that we don't know? Imagine watching the last day of the Veni match without knowing the score.

I mean we know the reason for moving there and it seems perfectly reasonable. It is however pretty surprising that their combined brainpower hasn't yet managed to find a way to display it. Tracking PG's balance shouldn't be too big of a deal.

This is will be made exponentially harder by the fact that both players have auto-rebuy to 100bb's on, meaning they are updating table stack totals a lot.

Even if they don't want to go down this route I'd be surprised if Party wouldn't hook them up. Considering the free advertising they are getting out of the challenge you would have thought they would have already offered.

i don't see why being a plo20 grinder would disqualify him from being a quality commentator, just say he sucks at commentary for specific reasons based on his commentary

but frankly, you're unlikely to get an active nosebleed grinder willing to "give away free coaching" so it's going to be active plo20, retired guys or people like norman chad and stapes

Doesn't have to be nosebleeds, just someone that has played HUPLO at low midstakes level, or a solver expert etc. So they know what's going on and can assume the role of serious answering person.

I think it's totally fine have a guy go zomg he "3 bet life roll" even overplay it, but do it when you have an expert there for comedic purposes so he can "set you straight"
- That's Stapes and tuch's job though

Is there any rules for not using trackers?
They ARE probably using trackers, right?

Because if they are using trackers, Phil could share the results real time on the stream with the software.

What do you mean? You can't use hem/pt while playing. Or do you mean they are using illegal trackers during this challenge? And you are saying Phil should prove this by sharing the results while playing? Seems kind of dumb.

It seems fairly obvious that PG should simply advance AF $1m on RIO and get back to playing there.

There might be regulatory problems with doing this.

If it came from Phil's pocket then it's just a player to player transfer. If it's company money then it's obviously a different matter.

Yeah I had the same thought. That massive cooler where AF had quads and lost might have felt too sketchy and even if he doesn't really suspect any foul play, it's in the back of his mind. In those spots it's better to do whatever you have to do to get peace of mind.

Don't post the hand! No one has the right to think critically! The one who does it is a primitive conspiracy theorist!

Gayler chucking up hands on Vision in real time to use in hand analysis is pretty sick.
