I hate the way the commentators are educating the public about poker in espn broadcast. This is horrible for poker and really tilts me. Someone put a muzzle on Oliver cuz he is giving away too much information. This is the worst year in poker already you don't have to make it even worse by educating every fish out there how to play their stack size and what kind of hand ranges the players have in different spots. I also don't care for any of the players left and quote me "This will be the worst November 9 yet".

But what about 9 Tony G's versus 9 Ben Lamb's (just talking personality wise, not poker playing skills, assume equal skill at poker)? I really disagree with the assertion Americans want to only watch Americans, and I'm talking the causal viewer here - but I do agree that outgoing, talkative people will appeal to the casual viewer much moreso than quiet types.

For example, compare Dirk to Pau Gasol - even before winning it all this year - Dirk was pretty damn popular and well known in America, Pau Gasol is nowhere near as recongized. It's why Phil Hellmuth keeps on getting invited to poker shows, and it's why Daniel Negraneau will pretty much always be considered one of poker's main faces - outgoing, talkative, charismatic personalities attract attention and viewers.

But does Heinz really check behind AA AK KQ there? I don't think so. Tough call. Great Call!

I'm sure someone else felt the same way about you discovering 2p2 and how it aided your game.

this is a joke right? this information has ALWAYS been out there and listening to Oliver doesn't all the sudden mean you understand everything... just a dumb statement, you have to choose to learn in this game to win regardless... most casual viewers probably won't retain what Oliver says in a broadcast

I agree, someone with a King in that spot would be fearful of getting check-raised and not getting called enough by worse.

I hate it too Kevmode. Just like it tilts me to no end when I'm watching football and the announcers describe how to run a nickel package. Now how am I supposed to run my Pop Warner team?

Antonio's "if the story doesn't make sense he's bluffing" is a stupid comparison, a good bluff line makes perfect sense for the villain to have a monster, but they don't, cuz its a bluff...

So after you have profited from all the information on 2+2, TV, books and videos, we should all just close shop so that you can make money?

no you're clearly just a troll (no rational poster who knows anything about poker could possibly hold opinions like yours), and the only thing tilting about it is how bad you are at trolling. i guess one could argue that's effective trolling on the nth level, but i doubt that's your intention.

igggnore list and moving on with that. ive just been reading this thread for days and couldnt help myself from pointing it out at this point.
