Joint winners, Andy Greekfish and Ian Frazer.

No one can be as bad as these two.

Haxton is ****ing awesome and so is his voice. It blows my mind that anyone who claims to be a poker fan would say he is bad.

Tuckman and Williamson III are easily the worst. They literally have nothing insightful to say. Ever.

I love Norman and Lon. They are just really great at sounding fresh and funny every year at the WSOP. I think the WSOP coverage would never be the same if they left.

If you wanna talk about educating the fish look at training sites, they're the ones that are destroying the game and cutting all our winrates. I agree the worst commentator EVER has to be williamsonIII for real.

You never learned anything from training sites then?

Ike is the balls. I don't understand the hate for him at all.

The worst ever are David Tuchman and—this is going back a bit—Howard Lederer's partner for Poker Superstars, Chris Rose. Two people with nothing intelligent to contribute ever who are also painfully unfunny and love the sound of their own voices.

Ali Nejad used to suck and I used to be his biggest hater but he's gotten way better. Like the first season of PAD sucked because he was always making lame wisecracks but now he more or less shuts the f up and just narrates the action.

I absolutely LOVE Norm MacDonald. I think he's the funniest living comedian bar none. But yeah, he kinda sucks at poker commentary. Of course it doesn't help that the show's format is the worst ever regardless of who is in the commentary booth.

Phil Hellmuth on live streams. Talks incessantly about himself. And it is crappy.

This. I thought HSP was just on the verge of being bad when Gabe was by himself. Norm is so bad I don't even want to watch the show anymore.

As bad as Ali Nejad was when he first started out, he's really come into his own over the last 2 seasons of PAD.

Norm has to go. He's just flat out horrible.

I like Ali Nejad especially when he's needling Negreanu or Laak

Never liked Mike Sexton tbh, great guy, good for the game but his commentating persona just grates me.

I think people are confusing in-depth analysis with good commentating. I like Ike but he's definitely not the most accessible (especially to the general public).

Hellmuth is vain, arrogant and frankly boring.
