JaNnN 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I always liked his commentary. He's got a good sense of humour.

Socrates 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hey OP, what poker shows do you commentate for? I always laugh at people who talk down about announcers, most of them have never tried to do it and have no idea how difficult it can be. Be glad we have people like Gabe who are good at what they do. Link to post Share on other sites

Shizzmoney 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I like Gabe's poker commentary as he really describes the thinking process for each hand through all 4 levels of poker thinking.As for his jokes, sometimes his impressions can be hit or miss, but the effort is genuine and I appreciate that. Gabe does stand up from time to time and it's pretty good.Norman's problem is he just comes across as trying too hard. Link to post Share on other sites
trystero 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 My only complaint about Kaplan is that he's too results-oriented sometimes. He was changing that near the end of the second season, though, like when Mizrachi made a call on the turn while way ahead and Kaplan said 'if the river's not a spade then this was a good call. Well, it's a good call anyway.' Link to post Share on other sites

Kaplan is the best poker commentator around, though he skews a little more old school w/ his humor. Do some research, watch a few Marx Brothers movies and maybe you'll get his humor.
