What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I've been unable to watch the UltimateBet.net Poker Challenge on Fox Sports up until now because it was just so booooring. Until I tuned in in today and found Hellmuth one of the Commentators. What a difference Hellmuth makes. He is by far the best Poker Commentator I've heard. They should hire him for the WPT when he's available. He's like the Howard Cosell of Poker.
Also, the commercial with Annie Duke is hillarious. PairTheBoard |

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I couldn't disagree more. He was still extremely annoying. Sure, he is better than the WSOP and WPT commentators, but that sure as heck isn't saying much. I'd much rather have someone like Lindgren or Harman. They were pretty good in the WSOP Final Table commentary.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I liked Hellmuth at first and then he got a little anonying on the broadcast. I teter back and forth between getting a kick out of how obnoxious he is and being anonyed by how obnoxious he is. I think he's good for poker though because he draws attention to it.

I didn't find Harman that good. Too dry. Lindgren, however, was very good. I would have rather listened to him on the UB broadcast.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I didn't here the broadcast but bet lindgren is a better player than Phil H and probably much more insightful than Phil. But i also bet it would be more fun listening to hellmuth each week to see what he says and does. Lindgren is a more of a meat and potatoes guy.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
???? are you referring to a comercial if so which? Or are you trying to be sarcastic in response to my saying Eric L. is probably a better player than Phil H. If the latter go ask Daniel N. who the better player is.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
Yes he's a little annoying. But thats part of what makes him intetresting to watch and to listen to. To see what he will say next. And his analysis is much better than anyone doing it now.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
Being annyoing is in way interesting to me. It is, as it turns out, actually just annoying. If i want to watch someone be arrogant and obonxious i'll just turn on Real World or something. And i don't think his analysis was anywhere near as good as Lindgren.
