I have myself done a lot of live coverage from mainly the European Poker Tour, for example hand by hand coverage from the final tables.

I remember last year when CardPlayer had the coverage. It was really really terrible. This year it is not perfect, but it is WAY better than last year.

I can tell you one thing: It is really really hard to do good livereports. You are not allowed to sit by the table with a computer, you have to run to a media room long way behind to get down the story. You are not allowed to do chipcounts (you have to stand by tre rail and try to count the chips by the eye. The staff will treat you like [censored], security are all over you.

So give these guys a break. To be able to cover at tournament good, you will need one reporter for every four tables. That will be a staff of roughly 100 persons (*), to get the quality you guys want...

I can agree with the lack of photos - that are the easiest part to do, and also the part that the wiewers appriciate the most.

(*) 1600 players/day = 160 tables = 40 reporters/shift
