OUR COMMENTATORS


NICHOEL PEPPE JURGENS:   Nichoel adds that touch of class every team needs - her ability to speak to all levels of play and her enthusiasm for the game's intricacies help translate the game of poker to something anyone can relate to.

Starting as a prop right here at the Bicycle Casino, eventually Nichoel became the host for the $5-$10 no limit game and a part time commentator on "Live at the Bike!".  In 2009 she entered the World Series of Poker Championship event and landed 75th out of 6,500 entries!

Nichoel graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BSB degree in MIS, but a love for acting brought her to California.  On her way to the stage a friend introduced her to poker and the rest is history.  A cash in a local LA tournament funded her bankroll and her poker career.  LATB gets to benefit from the combination of her love of acting with her love of poker.

Recently married she has returned to Los Angeles and our team.

You can follow Nichoel at Facebook, Twitter or on her Blog.

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

BART HANSON:   Over two years of being the "Live at the Bike!" mainstay had given Bart more commentating experience than any other poker commentator - period!  His skill at calling the action and his passion for the game is evident on every single show he appears. Bart is an accomplished cash game player and, more recently, has made final table appearances at some of the best-known tournaments in the world.  His laugh is infectious and his commentary will help you understand the ring game better and improve your EV. 

BOSTIN CHRISTOPHER:  Bostin hails from Alaska and had made many appearances on the felt of "Live at the Bike!" before taking the helm as co-commentator.  Bostin's level-headed approach to the game and his ability to see the whole picture allowed viewers to approach the analysis from all angles. 

DAVID TUCHMAN:  Providing the 'other half' of the Bart and Dave duo, David also garnered more commentating hours than most in this field.  His generosity and personality made him a favorite of players and fans alike.  David's sense of humor and keen sense of the game enable viewers to take their game to another level. 

SHIRLEY ROSARIO:   The 'original' Poker-Babe!  Shirley, a well-known player with an active website (www.poker-babes.com) gives not only the female perspective, but also a layer and texture to the commentary that only experience and hours on the felt can provide.
