Unless they clean up the audio, the broadcast is unwatchable.

Are the commentators in the back hall?

They said forget bout it and just put it in mute. You can say a lot bad about pokergo but you can't say they are not expert problem solvers.

They fixed it.

should have just streamed the dealers choice no commentary idk why they dont do that more often on the 2nd FT

Why does everyone always say “smash that like button” now? It’s tiresome.

Wtf is wrong with the commentators for this Mystery Bounty? They've been talking about generic TV show opinions for 10 minutes and haven't called any action at all. OMG BREAKING BAD WAS YOUR FAVORITE SHOW? NO WAY

I think they’re trying to be more appealing to new recs checking out poker for the first time. Isn’t it on YouTube and PokerGo?

That or they’re just bored.

It was just a bit excessive. 10+ minutes of listing the most popular TV shows of all time as their favorite shows while completely ignoring the action.

Crazy ace high call from Brown!

Guang made it past like 20k people just to punt like that hahaha. Epic call from Brown though.

I'm bummed PokerGo cut off the reveal of the last 2 bounties

Are the bounty results reported somewhere?

I dont know how the bounties work, is the million dollar bounty guaranteed to be paid out?

Yes, all bounties are paid out. Only bounties collected day 2 and forward qualify for bounty prize.

^^TYVM^^

Are people randomly assigned as bounties and do the players know they are a mystery bounty while playing?

Random. When you win a bounty you pick an envelope out of the treasure chest.

All players making day 2 will be a bounty.

What percentage of players are calling off their stack with ace high there?

Not many. It was definitely a gutsy call by Brown. However, it’s not like Guang knew Brown had A high. It was a massive no equity punt while playing for a 500k payjump.

Ah, ty...so there were a hell of a lot more bounties than the list you posted here?

I couldn't do it, especially in those circumstances. Mikey is talking to me here:

Yes, should have been a couple thousand I believe. These were the biggest ones.

So yesterday PokerGo said their live coverage would start at 8PM and now it's switched to 9PM (this is CST)
WTF?

Most people watching during the week wanna see coverage when they come home from work.
Who wants to start it at 9 and catch maybe an hour before having to go to bed?

The tourneys are on all day long, why do they wait until the end of the day to start?
It makes no sense.
We dont need you to only show final tables.
I'd be happy to see any table with a known personality.
Deeb was in the top 25 or so much of the day in the $600 PLO, who wouldnt have wanted to watch that?
Even with no announcing? Just put em on the feature table and let it run.

If they keep pushing the coverage later each day, I can guarantee them, this 3 month sub will be my first and last with them

PokerGo seems to be their own worst enemy.
You have the exclusive rights, you have the table and cameras and computerized cards set up and yet you cant get out of your own way

There is just no reason at all for coverage to start so late the past 2 days.
You have ALL year to get ready for this.

Go ahead and give us your estimated hourly cost breakdowns (camera operators, control room personnel, on-air talent, etc.) of just “running the cameras whenever I want it in MY time zone”.

Pokergo sucks ass but it’s a monopoly so what can yah do?

Funny that people are always wondering how poker can reach a bigger audience. Poker media like pokergo and Pokernews having a shred of professionalism would go a long way.

The overhead camera is in a fixed position. No operator needed, Flip the switch, turn it on, I said no need for on-air talent so no cost there.

Set up the camera that's over the table and shows everyone top down, and just let it run. The computer will show the cards and percentages automatically. This is not complex and can be done at almost no additional cost.

As it is, I have no reason to keep my sub if they cant get on air prior to over half the population's bed time during the most on-demand 2 months of the year.


And besides, If they can do it at 9PM, why not at 6PM when people can actually watch?

Furthermore, it's laughable to think I'm demanding something special for MY timezone when about 75% of the population of the US reside in the CST or EST (which is an hour LATER than CST) So how many viewers are they gonna get tonight in the EST (the most population dense part of the country) by starting at 10PM?


You act like this isnt a legit complaint for the subscribers or a legit problem for PokerGo ever maintaining a subscriber base.

Some of the dumbest or most incompetent people in the world must run PokerGo.
