I just finished watching the no-limit hold’em portion of the Triton Poker Super High Roller series in Monte Carlo. Triton Poker Series knows how to put on a show.
Having no limit hold’em available to watch 12 hours a day for 2 weeks was the best! I don’t have 12 hours a day to watch, but it was comforting knowing that I could watch the best of the best play NLH at almost any time of the day.
I like the structure they used switching the commentators and analysts every couple of levels and mix-n-matching different combos of personalities. Most of the commentary was great to excellent, and I enjoyed the insights immensely.
Of course, there is one immature donkey who turns the conversation around to silly grade-school stuff or turns it into a convo about himself… His giggle drives me crazy. I cannot believe that a company lets him represent their brand. I guess no one else is available for those hours. In fairness to him, when he is good…he’s GOOD!
I’ll continue with the series watching the PLO because I’ve become accustomed to seeing my high-roller friends…one more day!
- AND, how about Vladimir Korzinin‘s performance? What a sly fox that player was!
- Bryn Kenny is an excellent player, but this year, I thought he was more luckbox than skill.
- My ears hurt after watching the tables that had Haralabos Voulgaris. Nice guy…but give me a little time to rest.
- I loved Ren Lin‘s spirit.
- I found it interesting that a number of the whales were so uninformed about the rules.
- I loved how many countries were represented on the tables.
I hope PokerGo reviews the series and sees that you can present 5 hours in a row without a glitch.
