1) Norman Chad
2) Gabe Kaplan
3) All other poker announcers suck. I'd rather just hear the table talk without any announcers.
My Advice? Turn down the announcers and put on Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil".

I love Gabe because he has the right mix of humor, seriousness, and always offers insightful commentary. The rest, mehhh, not so good. Poker seems to have the most unprofessional commentators over any other sport.

VVP and Mike Sexton are easily the worst of the bunch.

Norman Chad is hit or miss. Sometimes he says things that make me burst out in laughter. Other times, it's really lame and boring [censored].

Gabe Kaplan wins though. He has enough poker knowledge to analyze what's going on. He takes the game seriously while maintaining a humorous edge and really takes the cake in a field of weak commentators. Welcome Back Kaplan

Padraig Parkinson does some commentary/analysis on some of the UK events. He is hilarious, and his comments on the play are usually spot-on. Best of the bunch IMHO.

When Gabe made fun of David Grey a few weeks ago on HSP, he won me over. "I'm David Grey, and I've been playing poker for 20 years, and I always end up with the second best hand, so if aces were the best hand, then I had kings because that's the second best hand and I always end up with the second best hand." I thought it was hilarious.

The rest just suck, first and foremost the PPT announcers. No wonder it's already cancelled.

My thoughts exactly.
This guy is both funny and an insightful poker commentator.
Number one by far.

From what i saw the WPT commentators are the worst.
