Default Re: Pool on ESPN vs Poker

The pool commentators are usually Mitch and Ewa Laurence right? They're good announcers because they actually discuss what the player needs to do on the current shot and how they should navigate the table to win. An announcer discussing strategy in a televised poker tourney is really rare. About the only times I've heard strategy discussed were Cardplayer's WSOP ME audio commentary this year and when Lederer gets a chance to announce like at Turning Stone last year. The ESPN WSOP and WPT coverages are for mass audiences that apparently know nothing about poker and need to have the simpliest things explained over and over. I still watch these shows but I turn the volume off because I just can't listen to the ex-wive stories anymore.
