Re: HSP, 7/17
I, too really like Gabe. Used to play at his house in LA a million years ago. Some big games.
IMHO Gabe DOES know the game considerably (as well as he knows many of the Pros) and I think he makes the show a much better show and I agree with the poster above that he has good insight. I also wish we could hear more of the player dialogue but guess it's tough to do and keep the viewers informed (which I feel IS important to not so good players)
Other than possibly Howard L. I have really grown to like Gabe announcing. He's a good guy and _loves_ poker. I think Howard is very good but not so funny.
Watched a circuit event tonight and would much rather listen to Gabe than Lon and the now old wife etc jokes altho I do respect their job.
Only real complaint is that HSP isn't a longer show...2 hours would be just fine with me.
