Mike and VVP are cool. They're cool because they are themselves and because they each actually have a unique style - from what they say to what they wear. Lon and Norman are losers. They are homogenized. They wear things like black jeans with mock turtlenecks and sportcoats - WTF? Plus VVP gets laid a lot and Sexton is a good player. This really isn't close.

Not that it matters to me how broadcasters dress, but it's funny how Chad busts on just about every player's wardrobe, considering the lame getup that he wears.

and to say the guy makes offensive comments - um, yeah, that's what he does. He sits there in the booth dropping the N-word and F-bombs all show long.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps he should start doing that.

VVP just has cliches which are already lame and he never gets any new ones.

So, let's send him a list of new cliches to use.

Isn't Norman Chad a poker player? I thought I read somewhere that he plays Omaha and is halfway decent.

Bingo, bango, bongo! I enjoy the WPT broadcasts a whole lot, but it is a little creepy to know that Mike and Vince can't see the hole cards while the action is happening. Speaking of "results-oriented," this presumably means that their commentary is informed (and possibly distorted) by complete knowledge of everything that's going to happen.

I hate the way Mike Sexton just assumes whatever he does is always right (as in, raising every A high hu) and then criticizes players for not doing it.
And he's incredibly results oriented.

Guy pushes with something like an open ended straight draw.
Mike: "and that's a semi bluff at best!"

Yes, because some of the time even if he gets called and hits his draw, he might get hit by a meteor and lose the pot. Only in a BEST CASE SCENARIO does it qualify as a semi bluff.

I only hate Mike when he questions a good poker play. Either he's playing dumb for the audience or he just isn't very good. I hate VVP with a passion because he knows absolutely nothing. If he calls 44 a monster or a "real hand" ever again I will have him killed.

There hand names are outrageous. I hope that some day when someone has 69 they'll say its name.
