F that Steve Staunton would be great his interview skill show he has a big career in commentating I can hear it now " the game is getting bigger minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month......"

Jimmy Magee-"This young man is a fine cardplayer, his uncle of course was a legendary 5 card draw player who took many a punt off me, nowadays though its all about the teaxas holdthems on the interweb"

I heard Michael O'Muircheartaigh is going doing it for radio 1. He will be swinging alternatively between "an gaelige agus an bearla" when an exciting pot develops.

"Raise from the Unibomber from the cut-off. His father was Monaghan, his mother from Leitrim. Neither a Holdem stronghold. Folded to Antonio Esfandiari in the big blind. Esfandiari, an asarlai, ta braislead amhain aige, cad a dheanaidh se? He's pushed all-in! The unibomber calls! He flips over two queens! Ta na beanRi ag an unibomber. Ach ta na Ri ag an asarlai! Here comes the flop! We have a penalty in Cusack park in ennis. Its a penaly to Waterford and we're going to join Eddie Moroney"

DeVore

Just finished 2 hours of commentating with Jesse May which was great fun. Unfortunately not a huge amount happened at the table so I dunno how much of it will make the 25 minutes they need from today. It was an experience to be there though and Jesse May really impressed me, he's a consumate professional.

Yeah Pat, without a doubt. I walked in five minutes before the off just hoping to sit down and get going - then I was having to sign waivers and get miked up. It affects you in that the layout of the table is weird, it is uncomfortable having to place your cards and chips in certain places - etc, etc.

You also get less hands per hour and are playing eight handed. I bottled it a bit to be honest. Oh well, chalk it up to experience. :rolleyes:

Glad you enjoyed it anyway mate.

Cheers Lloyd went home afterwards when i heard about the mad cash games that went on the night before look forward to seeing ya on the telly.

bigslick

califano

Looks like the lineup could pan out nicely starting just after the Calzaghe vs Manfredo fight(Itv1 22:45)

Flushdraw

Unfortunately we're gonna see ppp special limp with AA and get it allin on a QTT flop against QT! UL mate.

Halfbaked on 100k keep it going mate, u'll be on that feature table soon!

58o

Nice work from halfbaked, cruised by his table a good few times yesterday and his stack looked pretty miserable, but he never panicked and his patience was rewarded.

AdMMM

I never knew that the Irish Open was played on a golf course.... Trust RTÉ to delay it....

Mellor

The Irish open is played on a golfcourse every year.

The Irish poker open, I think a golfcourse is too windy for that

BrandonBlock

WTF IS THIS **** I came home from the pub early to watch this and get boring golf zzzz hope it is just delayed and they havent completely cancelled the coverage.

Dave's a great player but he really needs to stop limping aces so much....

insafehands

They said around 11.35 that the poker will be on after this. Didn't give any indication when that'd be.

Meh, the suspense and longing to watch it will perhaps make seeing it better? Is that weird? I'm going to go now...

Feckers keep cutting to the studio which leaves me thinking their nearly finished.

jhegarty

wtf are they up too...

gilmour

this is taking the piss

Ardent

How is it possible to misjudge the schedule by over an hour and 15 mins? Idiots..

BrandonBlock

Mellor

insafehands

Mellor

Bit of a cold deck alright.

The coverage leaves a bit to be desired: the commentary team are babbling over each other and the graphics are horrible, hard to make out what suit the players hole cards are. Feel sorry for anyone not familiar with the game trying to make out what's going on.

insafehands

Is the Cork bai, Dev?

Mellor

I thought PP said NO baseball caps on tv tables

Dan Harrington doesn't appear to follow rules
