Who Are the Best Poker Commentators?

[Frond]

Lederer is great but I can see how some may not like his soft-spokeness. I like it thugh. Good analysis. I used to like Sexton but???

[gobboboy]

Dave and Bart in their hey-day were miles ahead of anyone else.

[Jetto]

Ive never heard Barry G comment before.. so I cant say wether hes teh best ive heard.

Id go with the ESPN guys Lon mcheron and Norman chad


phil G. aint too bad

[johnnyrocket]

yea mark seif is an awful announcer, i like gabe kaplan alot

[ardubz]

Kaplan is my favorite, hands down.

The only gripe I have about Lederer is that he's such a downer most of the time. He also seems to have a holier-than-thou attitude when commentating with people like Chris Rose (PSI3).

It's like Rose's job is to take a stab at the commentary and then big daddy Lederer comes in and corrects Rose, then Rose chuckles and I can just picture a smug expression on Lederer's face. But I digress - Lederer isn't that bad.

The absolute worst is Jesse May (I think?) - the guy on all the trash shows where they're at the half-circle table with set decoration that cost $20 to build. His laugh is so completely obnoxious that I don't understand how he's still getting paid to commentate.

Mike Sexton before WPT cranked up the blinds was my favorite. Great analysis and more personality than Lederer.

I really liked Phil Hellmuth commentating during the 2005? WSOP final table for cardplayer.
