His impressions of Mike Sexton are pure gold.

Kaplan is very funny. I haven't watched this season but whenever I have watched him he is funny and charismatic. I couldn't care less that his analysis isn't always great.

A way around it would be making Kaplan lead commentator and have him asking questions of a better play rather than trying to provide answers.

Kaplan is amazing. Best moment is when the river comes a blank 5 and he screams "IT'S A FIVE!!!"

Kaplan is amazing and by far the best cash game commentary. I don't need a commentator to tell me what's going on, I need to a commentator to make fun of what's going on, and Kaplan delivers.

Oh and WSOP commentary and coverage is the worst thing in all of poker, and it could easily be the best.

My favourite Kaplan moment is when he comments on Daniel Alaei coming out of the fox hole to play poker. Pure gold.

"I lived in Miami for a while, in a section with a lot of really old people. The average age in my apartment house was dead."

That had me in stitches for quite a while.

The only poker commentators Sexton and Van Patten are better than are Jesse May and whoever he's paired with...

Gabe is gold, AJ is OK.

I thought Gabe was making fun of Jesse May with his going crazy over the 5 on the river... Although it was probably a shot at both...

I like how Gabe Kaplan talks about "he's doing this because his opponent might have XX hand" because he's aware of the fact that the players don't have access to the hole card cams. He sort of knows what the players are thinking, at least moreso than other commentators.

People actually like Norman Chad?

I generally watch each show twice. I love the show and sometimes I don't catch jokes the first time around. There are always a few that are meant to slip under the radar.

Last show, in the hand that Durr raises 20k to get Meltzer off his king. "Alan Meltzer does not want to go away lightly."
