yeah Lon was ~fine in the pre-taped days but I don't see why they need him for livestreams. the past few years he has been a weak point for me.

tbh though right now im just tilted at the graphics being blacked out

Pretty disappointing handling of the stream and graphics tonight, especially considering it's been the bit behind the paywall thats had the problems.

If any commentator says "It's actually better not being able to see the hole cards" I'm gonna smash some **** up.

thanks for sharing this I had been searching to see if they even addressed it (since the commentators haven't afaik) but gave up looking just before they tweeted I guess.

They have acknowledged it on the stream now - but they never spoke about the all in hand they cut off in the other section at the end, so thanks to dankness for at least tweeting about it.

Is Norman Chad a part of the team any more?

I guess he is - but for the later days??? Or has he been cancelled for a tweet or something? It's hard to keep up... but as he wasn't mentioned much [almost at all] on he stream last night - I thought maybe he's no longer on WSOP mic duties?

Probably the later days thing. Like Ali and Nick are scheduled to come on today.

Wow, Farah Galfond with a 63bb 5 bet shove with JJ and got AK to fold.

This reminds me of my old senior citizen father incredulously telling me that someone on the internet claimed the earth was flat and wanting me to get as worked up about it as he was.

Over 30 years ago I stopped being surprised that out of the entire population of earth, there are lots of people with stupid opinions who will voice them online. I don't find it entertaining at all to see moronic or contradictory takes in youtube chat.

But I guess I'm not their target audience; they are going for casual viewers (as I'm told anytime I have any criticism of these [terrible] pokergo streams).

I feel like this is bait . . . I'm gonna choose to let it pass on by . . . for now

Wait! PokerGo dropped the ball . . . AGAIN?

I dont believe it. I cant believe it.

Such a professional crew, reliable start times, reliable graphics that can handle full tables even in 4 card variants, the ability to switch to final tables where big names occur and not be stuck with no names . . . you're claiming THAT pokergo messed up last night?


I'm stunned.


(okay, I took the bait . . . but I waited)

As someone who just recently crossed into their 50s I often think for the past 20 years that I preferred the pre-internet days when you didnt know how many brain dead idiots walked among us. I mean, I always suspected they were out there, but I didnt know how many and have such concrete proof

It's gotten the point a bag of coke was found in the most secure building in the world with a known addict recently moving in and with a straight face grown adults are telling us they will never know who left it behind or whose bag it is. As if there arent cameras capturing every single angle of every single spot in every single room 24-7. Do they really think people dont know what really happened?

Pre-internet ignorance was bliss. It had its benefits

But then how would people have found out about qanon?

Start to finish coverage every single day, yes sir

Last year I don’t think they covered Day 1s because of building the set. But you guys shook you fist and yelled “how can you not show the year’s biggest tournament!”. So they show Day 1 and you gize were “this chit is boring!”

I’m so far behind in my watch, I’m still trying to watch the 50K PPC Day 4.

PokerGO is stone cold nuts

For the record, I take issue with the "this chit is boring" I never said that.

Oh, and Maria Ho is drop dead gorgeous and her voice is easy to listen to.
She comes across as fairly normal in her comments and has a grasp of the common player's perspective
Having her as commentator is possibly the smartest thing PokerGo has done.
Just need to show her face more often.
But everything else, guilty as charged

Any word yet on who will be at the feature table today?

checked the schedule and it doesnt say or show any kind of thumbnail

The Trooper and Hellmuth would be top top

Nicholas Rigby at Hellmuth's table, I think that is one of the features.

Maria's voice is harsh on the ears, like a pinched nose talking and pitch of voice rises up and down greatly is also annoying, then on and on rambling. All around annoying.

Gize is a collective, and it was absolutely said by others. I don’t keep records in a spreadsheet who said what. But last year people did complain about the lack of Day 1s and this year people did say they were boring. So as a group, y’all are guilty as charged.

No one can possibly predict what Day 1 tables will good and as a matter of luck which will produce some sick Day 1 interesting hands and coolers.

is this going to be behind a paywall that gets to you to a graphic-less poker show, or will they stick to youtube today?

thank you

Where can I go to find the commentator line up(s) for the different broadcast times?
