Gabe Kaplan is far and away the best poker announcer I have ever heard. Sooooo far beyond those WSOP schmucks and the slicked back hair WPT deuche....he came out with a book btw, the WPT dude, can he even play poker?

I strongly disagree with you here. I think Negreanu and Lederer are much better, from the limited time I've heard them. I don't like his show, but Chad Brown is a pretty decent commentator too. I'll put Mike Sexton above Gabe, as well, but I think those two are close. Actually, I think I prefer Gabe. Phil Gordon could be really good, but he's got nothing to work with commenting on celebrities donking about.
Vince Van Patten (the WPT dude) and both ESPN guys I could live without though, for sure. |

I guess I should have been more clear. Gabe Kaplan is the most entertaining commentator [for the intermediate poker player]. I don't need to hear theory or opinions from Lederer or Sexton as an adept poker player myself. Most of their commentary is closer to the rudimentary level than something I learn from or am interested in. I will agree Gordon is close to Gabe as a nice mixture of entertainment and theoretical commentary...I kinda forgot about Gordon. Gabe just cracks me up.

I like Chad, too, just because he's so goofy he's actually funny sometimes. VVP, too on occaision. I'm not listening to these guys to learn how to play, they're just the sideshow. None of them make any comments that should be taken too seriously. They see all the cards.
