Boooooooooo!!!
Congrats pokergo for not fixing the exact same 8 hour issue that killed your stream a few nights ago and has now crashed another one
oh no was he the kid that told ivey he thinks he is the most aggressive player at the table and ivey just went blank and said: who cares?
There were multiple interactions like that but I think that one was Patrick
Patrick was buried and he goes “Patrick I think you’re the most aggressive player here… what? I think you’re the most aggressive player Patrick…”
Who cares, I’m the biggest loser here
That jack of diamonds river for Dnegs is the luckiest river I've seen in forever. Catches a one card sf to scoop Yockey (again lol).
No way either of those last 2 hands was played correctly by Ausmus
Catching up on last night's stream, the moment he sees Daniel made a straight flush to beat his boat on the river. lol

Ye this was years ago in the Poker After Dark PLO cash game. Was a sick lineup. Jared came off very bad in it. Was cringeworthy.
But ye I rather like him now. Respect to him for grinding it out so many years in Bobby's etc
I like Bleznick as well. He really gets into every hand (unlike some other famous commentators who are usually lost in space) and has no problem calling the play. Pretty accurately too I might add. And when they fool him, he is quick to acknowledge it as well, complementing the player if his unorthodox play works. He seems to truly appreciate the skills of these top guys and even rates their level of play in each game. He has no problem putting himself at a lower level than these guys, and simpl
All of this, Bleznicks commentary was refreshingly great, would love to hear him on other events.
When Ausmus busted the Poker Players' Championship, they outed him as a mutant.
Bleznick's commentary gets old fast. Didn't mind it at first but he seems to over-emphasize minor details and he has a hilarious poor hit-rate with his "______ is 100% gonna call/raise/fold here" takes.
I'm surprised to hear that, I really liked him, I could feel his passion for the game coming through but to each their own
That PPC makes incredible TV. I think it would do well on regular TV, with all the "TV pros", etc. People don't have to completely understand the games.

His insight I like, I just think some of his commentary comes off super arrogant. The amount of times he definitively states what a player will do, things like that. He kept saying that if Ivey got up to 4 million chips, he was winning the tournament.
2010.
He goes over some interesting stuff like how he came up in the game, how he cut his teeth in the HS CAP PLO games. (Also interesting is the correlation of some of the best PLO players like Bleznick, Ben86 and Blom playing lots of HU CAP PLO), him getting flak for buying in short from people like Patrick Anotnious in Bobbys room, etc etc...
The Bleznick [PG commentary] issue for me was two fold.
First - he's clearly new to commentary. He just needs a little help. For instance he started every sentence with, 'this is interesting', 'now this is interesting', 'ok this is interesting'... He just needs someone with experience to work on three or four ways to begin a sentence. So, when he wants to say, 'look at this' - he doesn't always use the word: 'interesting'.
But this is just commentating 101 stuff. It's the easy stuff to work on.
He seems to have a lot of the harder skills... like being enthused, and interesting, and having different vocal pacing and pitch. I guess the vocal range is due to him being passionate.
Second - Tuchman worked a little against him. So this issue wasn't down to Bleznick as such. Tuchman started to highlight that he felt Bleznick was being rude, or had a grudge, towards one player. It was a shame as it took Bleznick out of his stride. As it was fascinating to have a commentator actually saying, 'this is a bad play'. I'm so used to the Main Event where often recs awful play gets a pass.
Now you could argue it's unprofessional to say this player is playing this hand badly. Maybe for a network show it is. I thought it was a wonderful and new style of commentating. But maybe it goes against what PokerGo/WSOP want to represent them in their output.
Anyway - I've spent the last 6 years presenting a weekly London radio show. If Bleznick wants a chat - I'm more than happy to pass on some tips. But that's just simple presenting technic stuff. He has the [hard] stuff that is neigh on impossible to learn...
I wonder now if PG want him back, or because he was criticizing a player, that was him one and done? I did wonder if he was replaced midstream for a reason.
This is the funniest hand I have ever seen 😃

Technically, you could snow with any junk hand. You are supposed to do it with blockers. Having reverse blockers makes it worse, but the effect isn't that huge. He apparently did it in ep with the preflop play a little loose passive sort of early in the tournament. It is technically a pretty bad play, but it will sometimes work. There is also a problem that most pat hands are going to want to check rather than lead out, as the drawing hands are generally drawing to beat them. You would need a strong pat hand to lead out 4-ways for value. I guess it is somewhat funny. Don't know if he was screwing around or didn't know how to play NL27SD.

it's pretty obvious if you watch the stream that he was just messing around. He's pretty solid at mixed games so yah definitely was just trying to needle phil

i don't know how the hell to play this game but what the hell was that? how does that random old guy draw 2, get 2 low cards and fold?
Blez's commentary on Day 4 was really really top level. Loved hearing his insights and explanations.
Tuck on the other hand was the most annoying and condescending person I've ever heard commentate. Never put him on stream again.
