first, i would call here. against totally amateurs, you have to assume they will do something really stupid every once in a while, including thinking they have a straight with J9.

more importantly, this is a lot of hate on celebrity poker. phil gordon is the best regular announcer by far - the things he say make sense and are not really annoying. he also is willing to say "that was a really play" which i find refreshing (but i guess i'd find it really annoying if most announcers said it).

i can't stand to watch it anymore b/c the poker is so bad, but i think it would actually be a reasonable way for a novice to improve.
