ESPN coverage = ASS, Celebrity Poker Bravo = BEST

[CDSNUTSINYAMOUTH]

I'm honestly starting to think that the celebrity poker coverage on Bravo is better than ESPN's. I'm just talking about coverage now, not the PLAY of course. Phil Gordon is someone who knows what he's talking about and Dave Foley adds comedic touch. Plus I like Gordon's commentary on how to play against really bad players at NL if you ever get a chance to play any. He spots the tells and just basically berates the players so you know what NOT to do. Also, the "what would you do segment" is very interactive for the viewer and all poker shows should start doing this. It will allow the viewer to really get inside the player's heads.

On the other hand...ESPN is SPOILING a good thing with the WSOP. It's honestly bad on every front. How are you suppose to enjoy a game when you can't even get into it. If I want to watch KQ vs. 88, I can just take my deck of cards and fuucking put down the flop, turn, and river. AND WALLA. ARE YOU ENTERTAINED? ARE YOU ALL ENTERTAINED?
You rarely get any chip counts, no hint of what the blinds are, you get confused who raised in what position, and you get NO postflop play. I love how the only interesting hands they show, for instance the magician's K2o hand, they show it in a commercial. And the only hands they show...the action starts with someoen raising with KK, QQ, JJ, AA, AK....
Please ESPN get a goddamn poker consultant in your goddamn booth and learn how to properly edit the goddamn show. Also get new commentators. You can keep CHAD..but put a real poker expert in there for god sakes. i don't know how long I can hear Lon ejaculate over.."OH it's a BLACK 5". Seriously, either he shoots up when the river comes...or CHAD is blowing him, I don't know.
Also, CHAD...if you act like you know how to play cards...at least talk like one. "OH WHAT A GREAT READ BY JEFFREY LISANDRO?!!" This is while Lisandro has top pair of KINGS with a Queen kicker and Ivey's gone over the top of him with a flush draw.

All right, just put jackpot jay in the booth. Get it over with.

I'm done.
