The take sloppy 2nds off the other thread, Worst Announcers on PokerTV

[HamJam]

Norman Chad: Awful. Unfunny. Usually gives at best obvious insight into the game.

Lon M.: Nothing good nothing bad, I don't think he knows much of poker. I did like one line when Norman Chad kept jokingly whining about Moneymaker at the Blind Man's Bluff table and Lon says "Norm, you're gonna have to let it go." Only amusing because it's what I always want to say to Chad every second I watch the WSOP.

Michael Konik: Also uninteresting. Again doesn't add anything to the show. Isn't as annoying as Chad though.

Chris Rose: Just an FSN guy to give the play-by-play like Lon M., same thing goes for him.

Vince Van Patten: Irritating, but he's way fun to mock with his same old lines. "Very interesting hand let's see how it plays out!" Also was terrible in the Stu Ungar movie.

Mike Sexton: I'm sorry, I like the Southern robot. Again he uses tired catch phrases like his cohost VVP. The WPT is cheesy what do you expect. But you must admit he knows about the game and gives at least a semi-interesting play-by-play of the action and adds some insight.

GSN: I've watched the GSN poker a few times, and it usually is a pro like Robert Williamson III and some random celebrity. I think Williamson is great but whoever he was with absolutely blew. I think other pros have commentated too and they weren't bad.

Generally poker commentary is bad.

The best poker commentator is of course Howard Lederer though.

Good God I can't believe television has reached the point where I actually watch a card game on TV with these fools talking the whole time.
