"Official" Poker After Dark thread (week 1)

[Kevmath]

Figured there'll be enough people watching to discuss the new NBC series Poker After Dark that starts tonight (check your local listings) to create an "official" thread to discuss the action at the table, Shana Hiatt, the reduced presence of an announcer, etc.

Just to clarify, there is a voice that will comment on some of the action, but that voice won't give analysis. The voice will add some humor as well as give some straight-forward commentary on the action.

more comments on how tight gus is playing please!

[Army Eye]

Strange, their is an announcer randomly says something once in awhile but he is never introduced. The players are yakking away like crazy, plenty aware that is there is reduced commentary.

more shana please!

Huck folds AJo from 2nd position six handed. Folds KQo from the button with two players in the pot ahead for standard raises. Wow.

The lack of announcers is interesting. I think a compromise would be better because not all the player chat is interesting and they talk over each other so much that a lot gets lost. I think they should edit the chat down a tiny little bit to the more interesting or atleast cohearant comments and fill in with some good commentary.

Yeah, it seems as if the poker action gets filtered out by all the mindless chatter. They definitely need to improve things to make this show watchable.
