Drum Infected 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 This year for the WSOP Main event. I'm not even saying all the other events for this year, just the main event itself.I bet people in las vegas have the odds writin out on this one, and people have wagers on it already. What do you think the odds are? Link to post Share on other sites
happyjuggler0 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Figure out how old he is and then consult a life insurance expert. Once you know the odds of him dying before he gets the chance to open his mouth you know the odds.ESPN should try to hire Shana Hiatt, although I doubt it will happen. I read an interview somewhere where she kinda dissed the ESPN coverage if I recall correctly. Link to post Share on other sites

I hate Kotter on NBC he is horrible. I keep thinking that Gary Coleman is going to show up as his co-host and say "What you talkin about willis" Link to post Share on other sites
711Buddha 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Best announcer for a poker game - Phil Gordon. (Hate the show, but Phil is great.) Honorable mention goes to Gabe Kaplan - great job at NHUC, interesting, entertaining and insightful. Mike Sexton. Bingo bango bongo, how can you not like this guy...Vince Van Patten. Well, its VVP. Norm Chad - well look who I rate ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites
iveyfan30 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 norman chad is funny in a not trying to be funny way...his lameness is what makes him funny..i personally think he's better than vince van pattton having 7 nicknames for pocket fives... Link to post Share on other sites

Macint0sh 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 What? People actually prefer the Travel Channel coverage? *shudder* Their production values are, well, embarassing. I just wish they'll discover that the flashing posts are not cool. And the fact that every final table (except the aruba ones or whatever) look the exact same, shitty self.The WPT is great, but the coverage, not so much. ESPN on the other hand makes it bearable to watch."Poker" in Sweden though, that rocks. Ken is a great commentator ragging on the players as they make mistakes :-) Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 i say just give it to kaplan, but make sure there's a shard of broken glass, or a splinter, in his rear that really hurts, and they won't remove it until he finishes his commentarybecause on nhupc, he sounds like my high-school history teacher Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a big fan of the WPT setup...the lights have to be distracting to the players cause they distract me. They keep talking about how beatiful these casino's are but they never try to show it off at the final table. Link to post Share on other sites

DTrain 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Norman Chad brings nothing to the table other than the fact that he doesn't absolutely kill the coverage. I hate the Celebrity Poker show, but Phil Gordon can actually speak intelligently about poker without grating on your nerves, which is a HUGE plus over nearly everyone doing poker commentary today.

AK33 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'll take Norman Chad and the ESPN crew any day over the Travel Channel. Mike Sextons analysis does not change and his insight is basic at best. I will however give the man credit for his recent success, his game has evolved through the WPT without a doubt. The ESPN crew is dry and sarcastic and that, at least to me, makes it more interesting. It's no contest against "bingo bango bongo." Am I the only one that thinks Sexton is lame? Also, I'm sure many of you love Sauna but the girl has no knowledge whatsoever. Her questions are terrible and she adds nothing to the show. I thought I heard she is retiring or something?? Anyone know who is her successor? Link to post Share on other sites
