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.

I agree. Except not howard cosell. More like McEnroe. Nasty imature player but entertaining on the court and in the announcer booth.

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
Hellmouth surprised me on the cardplayer audio of the Final Table. He can be obnoxious sometimes, but I think he has passion and a reverance for the game. He was constantly adding historical perspectives and the stuff with Puggy was funny. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Re: What a difference Hellmuth Makes
I used to hate him but after I heard the WSOP broadcast I've become a fanboy. His commentary is awesome.

I think the McEnroe comparison is right on. I can't imagine anyone more similar.
