Default Who Are the Best Poker Commentators?

Let's get a commentators poll going...

Barry Greenstein = best

Ed Lover = worst (guy from Hip Hop Holdem)

There's my 2cents,

..plus i honestly don't think that's Ed's real last name. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

..i just wish Barry could commentate more regularly, rather than as a guest.

Howard Lederer's great, Gabe Kaplan's pretty good, Michael Konik's the worst.

I like Gabe Kaplan best cause he makes me laugh once in a while. However, Howard Lederer is better for amateurs who might need insight into the hands being played.

Mark Seif is the worst. I also really don't like Dan Harringtons commentary and wish AJ Benza would just go away.

I find most televised poker unwatchable. UB aruba is the almost bad as Cleberity Poker with tall Phil and the kid in the hall guy.

Is anyone else tired of the "one of the best players in the world" comments.

My default best vote goes to Bart Hansen live at the bike he is a little bit of a one note guy - bet bet bet - but he means well.

Dido, Bart is the best and LATB was even better when Tuchman was there. As for poker on actual tv, i guess you have to say the guys at High Stakes Poker because its the only show I can bare to watch

I actually really love listening to the WSoP commentators. I don't care if they mess up the hands sometimes, they just crack me up with their comments. It's a lot better than listening to any of the other ones on say, poker superstars or high stakes.
