What happens when you give noobs stats?
They go crazy and completely misuse them. The PokerStars Big Game is a newish show out now and they’re starting to interject stats previously only used by online players. This is good, but as expected when you have guys like Joe Stapleton and Chris Rose (lol) calling the action these stats are useless. Here is a great example:
So on the first level we have some stats for the first 15 hands she’s been dealt. Her VPIP is 6.7%, which means she’s voluntarily put money in the pot once in the first 15 hands.
Second row is hands 16-25. So she’s voluntarily put money in the pot twice in ten hands.
Somebody really needs to explain sample size to these clowns.
“An interesting trend has developed on Nadya”
“She started off feeling nervous but she’s settling in nicely”
“You can understand that, this is a person who has looked up to the players at the table over the years” - HAHA great commentary. Which players is Chris Rose talking about? Bonomo, Cada, Mercier, are all pretty new to the world of televised poker. Alaei made an appearance on HSP years ago, I haven’t seen him since. So I guess that means Barry, and I highly doubt Nadya looks up to Barry.
But anyways, 10 hands and they’re going into deep thought about what those useless stats mean, awesome. Makes Gabe Kaplan look like a genius.
Perv alert….the 41 year old mother is hoooot. Cold Russian winters preserve looks LDO.
