Re: Pokernews is FAR better than Cardplayer coverage ever was ...
My problem with pokernews isn't errors in some hands, or failure to get chip counts. We all have seen the orange sea of chips, and if you're trying to type out a hand description in under a minute mistakes happen. My complaint has been that the coverage has been inconsistent...it was quite good yesterday I thought. Each of the 2 days before, it seemed like they pretty much quit after the dinner break, posting 2-3 hands an hour and only bustouts. Hell, Bart's bustout didn't even get posted, someone found it on gutshot the next day. I think they've done a good job for most of the time, but lack of updates those 2 evenings were really frustrating. Oh, and BJ is obviously their best reporter and has done a great job. On night 5, they had him doing chip counts and other stats stuff, so that probably helps to explain the spotty nature of the hand reports...they didn't have their horse out there.
