The bolded is clearly correct.

I also don't care for any of the players left and quote me "This will be the worst November 9 yet".
yes, this. Finally somebody gets it.

Actually, Olivier does have a knack for explaining fairly advanced concepts in a succinct, easy to understand way that may very well advance the education of some viewers. But hey, welcome to the instant info age.

Just stay ahead of the curve...

A little learning is a dangerous thing ;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring :
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.


Think about it.

Forget retaining, they won't even understand it in the first place. I have to explain what he's saying to my wife the times she's been watching as well.

Esfandari does a much better job taking the same relative concepts and explaining them in language for the truly recreational player / casual viewer, but of course it quite as good. If you went 1-10 on "pure analysis" and "ability to explain in a way that casual views can follow", I think it'd be:

Olivier Busquet - Analysis 10, Causal Viewers: 2
Esfandari: Analysis 8, Casual Viewers: 8

And of course, Hellmuth would be: Analysis 0, Casual Viewers can relate: 10 - random off-topic stories or analysis as simple as "re-raise pre-flop, must be big hand, ZOMG it wasn't Aces, wow that's very gutsy!" is pretty easy to understand and folow

This has no relevance to the broadcast whatsoever. The commentators are educating the fish and this is not good for poker and are going to make the games a lot tougher to beat. I love how I post one thing and everyone comes after me like I am the bad guy. Please explain to me how Oliver discussing in depth strategy during the broadcast is good for poker I would like to hear a rational explanation.
