Worst Poker Announcer

[Hauser_III]

I like how Konik's name is in the list twice.

Then, again, he's bad enough that he probably deserves to be on the list twice.

You've no idea how bad poker commentary can get until you've watched the EPT coverage.

Isn't it ironic to post a poll about the worst - but leave out a guy many feel is the worst?

I understand you don't think he is the worst, but it really does take away from our choices.

You should retitle the poll - Worst poker announcer from my personal list of bad announcers.

That's not ironic at all. Choosing from the pollers list is what a poll is. You don't make a poll to see everybodys opinion on everything, just the items you see fit.. otherwise I'd have to poll everybody on what items to put on the poll. Them being my selections is a given.

That was intentional, lol.

Actually there hasn't been a real good one yet on TV. I mean
a "John Madden" type who will strongly criticize bad play and
strongly praise good imaginative play.

I personally think Norman Chad is hilarious. Plus, I think his style is more suited for what ESPN was trying to do with the WSOP all along. Create a nice-looking package (as opposed to the WPT) that appeals to the age group they target, not necessarily all serious poker players.

I don't watch football but I assume John Madden is more of an analyst. It wouldn't hurt to pair him with such a commentator, such as they use ex-NBA players during NBA telecasts, but that alone makes for some boring television.

Anyone else think that if Jim Ross did Poker he'd sound a lot like Mike Sexton?

MY GOD VINCE HE'S PICKED UP A BIG HAND FROM THE BLIND. DAMN THAT TURN RAISE, SOMEBODY STOP THIS. WAIT, THAT'S SHAUNA HIATT'S MUSIC.

WOW VINCE THE CHIPS ARE FLYING! PHIL LAAK LITERALLY BROKE HIS BACK IN HALF WITH THAT FIST PUMP INTO PUSHUP VICTORY DANCE.. THE CARNAGE THE BODIES ARE MANGELED

[Kevin Bowen]

Norman Chad or Tom Lykis\Kennedy from Battle of the Sexes are the worst of the worst, methinks.

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Still better than listening to Norman Chad's borderline insulting commentary. NO CHAD NO PEACE NO CHAD NO PEACE.

Norman Chad. He is pathetic. Comparing him to Madden (whoever did) is ridiculous.

Chad is self-centered and makes competely inane remarks. He lacks any understanding of what he is doing and comes off as a complete cheese-dick.

He is the only one I will consistently mute. It is absurd he still has a job. When there are people like Mike G walking around.
