Terrible commentating by Gabe tonight.

Why is it that every time someone asks for a chip count Gabe says "He doesn't actually care how many chips he has, he just wants to get a tell." WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!?!?

I thought that too.

This kind of commentary always seems to follow one player asking another who many chips they have on TV. When I play in the casino I sometimes ask guys how much they have when they raise preflop, or make a bet or raise postflop that often elicits "oh you looking for a tell" nonsense from the player or someone not in the hand.

Commentators take note, a chip count is important information to have when making a decision in a poker hand!
