What is your opinion about David Tuckman as a commentator ?

Hello everyone,

First of all : yes, I did search the forum and couldn't find a thread specific on this matter so started a fresh one.

I've been watching almost all videos available when it comes to poker tournaments or cash games during the last four years or so, and so far, the only ones I didn't enjoy best were the ones he's been commentating on.

He's always making mistakes now and then about outs available to hit, he uses a somewhat fake tone when there is a serious action but it delivers the opposite effect.

I use to post comments on that guy in other threads but today while watching another Sunday Million highlight on Pokerstars.tv, he fails again as he does in every episode :

@ 21:16 min in the show, Palurdo is holding 77 against blony_tair JQ , the board comes AA6K so to save blony_tair he credit him to hit either a jack a ten or a queen : David, what about a King to give Blony_tair two higher pairs with a better kicker ?

I could review each episode he's been commentating : there is at least a basic mistake a commentator who's been on the scene like him for ages wouldn't do anymore.

Add the fact he's not funny at all, I just wonder why he still gets to comment poker shows : he doesn't add any value at all to those shows.
I don't know if he's one of the reason why Live at the bike stopped but personally I would have stopped watching the show just because of him, at least Bart was funny.

I'm posting this to have your say as I am not located in an English speaking country so I can't really debate with people not watching the shows.

Btw, English not being my mother tongue, don't flame me about my poor grammar, just debate on the subject of this thread.

Thank you all.

i personally cant stand him any longer commentating on hustler. He misses so much action and makes lots of mistakes for a guy that's been doing it for 15 years. Constantly begging for likes or talking about himself its too annoying.
