The only one I don't really like is Norm Chad. And he's probably the only one that really can't play poker worth a lick.

That show should have been cancelled because of the lack of poker ability on it 90% of the time.

Hellmuth wasn't all that bad.

I like Mike Sexton and think he's the best regular commentator (i've only heard greenstein commentate once). Norman Chad and Colin from EPT are both funny (Colin knows nothing about poker but he's funny anyway). I also think Ali Nejad is absolutely hilarious.

I can't stand Kaplan. I'm sure he's a nice guy but I don't like him as a commentator. VVP is what he is. No insight but he goes well w/ Sexton I suppose. Duthie on EPT is alright but you can tell he's a nit sometimes. He's floored at what seem to be standard repushes. However, his insight during other situations is excellent at times and I've learned a lot watching EPT. Gordon is a little too angry a person for me (you can totally tell at times).

Hellmuth in shows without the hole cards (old WSOPs) was the best. With hole card cams Gabe has done a really good job on HSP, he is very good at telling you what is going on, "Daniel lost a big pot and is pressing here, this is normally an easy fold for him ect..." Also HSP is by far the best poker show ever so Gabe can show off his skills more than the guys doing donkaments. I would love to see Hellmuth on HSP.

Norman Chad is annoying. he used to write for Arliss, so i guess that explains it all.
