Title: Needed: Volunteers
Post by: TightEnd on March 25, 2013, 11:38:44 AM
I will be commentating each evening from Thursday to Monday on APAT final tables/cash from the WCOAP, live streamed with hole cards

Des can explain where and how you can view them

Good to be back.  8)

Now then, if you fancy a spin on the commentary turn-tables, and to volunteer for a stint behind the microphone alongside me...

you should post in here with your commentary credentials

- no experience is necessary...
- you can withdraw if you make every final table (note: fatcatstu, ignore this, doesn"t apply to you obv)


Here are some of the things you might need

1. Sheepskin coat. You never know when you might need one in the commentary business.

2 Extensive Player Notes, and love of post-its

3 No history of claustrophobia

4 The beginnings of a catchphrase

5 Supplies

6 An ability to insist I do not sing

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QaNP4i3b5nU/SOBfNrFbkeI/AAAAAAAAADA/ROYhbMwBfuw/s400/biden+duct+tape.jpg)


I gather those at the event will be able to watch back in the weeks to come, so extra good news if you make a final.

I think this is the rough plan for commentary

Thurs - Team (S & G"s 6 or 8 handed)
Fri - Six Max
Sat - Cash (run 8 handed)
Sun - Omaha
Mon - Main event final


Over to you.....

+1

I would also be interested if you are short on people (which is unlikely)

EDIT: Actually I might be able to do you a useful stint on the final table of the main event, I have played four of them and can confirm there is something different and special about the DTD one. Maybe I could be useful to you in that capacity as it is nice to have some experience on the mic ???

Get me down for this Tighty! My credentials are that I know an Ace from a 4 at 60 yards and I have a large bag of Blue Riband biscuits to get through over the weekend.
I likley can"t make the PLO as thats the one I"m probably gonna win. All the others though, my insight is at the ready!

Wouldn"t mind doing a wee bit of commentary on the Main Event Day 1b, that"s dependant on me making it through Day 1a.

I might take you up on the translation offer Pedro, if any of the Scottish players win a bracelet... ;)

Would be happy to have a spin if needed/wanted, have done live streaming of poker events before from DTD and live commentary streamed for online events too,

As a true masochist, would be especially interested in the Razz (if I bust out of it of course!)...

I would like to do some commentary, especially if one of my friends make one of the final tables. We will all be wearing out "Micro Grinder" snot green team hoodies, so will be easily recognisable

Tighty, will the feeds be replayed anywhere? Apparently you were "brutal" to us lot on the final table of the Six Max. I want to watch it back before I hunt you and the ginger kid down.... I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
