Look, I'm a television producer, and there's no way this would have compelling mass appeal without showing the hole cards at the end of the hand.

But there is still the possibility for corruption, and I think it needs to be discussed/addressed.

It has been addressed...by the Nevada Gaming Commission....everyone in the room with access to hole card cams is sequestered and has no forms of communication with the outside.

The overbet is the correct bet in equilibrium for both value and bluff given how capped Gianetti's range is. I just think in practice people are very rarely calling there when put to the test, which makes it a great spot to bluff that size but not so great of a spot to bet for value.

Oh I agree completely. Watching with my brother, he asked what Gianetti should do with K9, I said hero, as Lamb has a ton of air and his flush draws are barreling the turn a ton. But I really don't think Lamb should expect Gianetti to call at all wider than he did, and I think I'm right given that Gianetti based his call off the fact that Lamb might do that with AK..

Do you really think, that he will bluff a 2 on the river and that he will checkback a FD on Turn? It`s hard for him to have a lot of 2x in his range(Prolly something like K2s etc. ok he had 32 now but well ...).I`m pretty amazed that he did c/b the Turn.

That's not his job - he's not the expert poker guy, he's the expert announcer who has to work with the weirdo ego-mad out of touch with reality expert poker guys to try to somehow finagle a commentating flow that is both informative and entertaining to a hugely diverse base of casual players to pros.

I think he does ok.

I don't see how you can just call flop unless you plan to donk the turn like you say. You have to pretty much KNOW he's going to fire again on the turn in the vast majority of situations.

But I also forgot Giannetti had position when I first posted on this hand, so I'm a major donk sometimes.

It's like riding a bike for the first time. Sure the crew made a mistake but it was possibly the best 10 minutes in televised poker history. It's no different than a hockey announcer saying the wrong player scored. The 30 min delay is more than sufficient.

Well have fun watching this coverage guys, this isn't doing anything for me so I think I am going to have some beers to blow off some steam. I am just not happy at all with the coverage. I hope the old guy wins.
