      @@kurtisgotyaditgits The guy isn't a pro like most of the table, so he's using something he has an edge in to even things out, his mouth. Televised poker will never survive if the entire table is a bunch of mute pros. You need people like Eric to liven things up. There's a reason Hellmuth gets invited to be on almost every televised poker event, and it's not because of his skill at the table.

    I gotta say that if I get to choose an announcer it's gonna be Gabe all the way. He knows he is not the show and hence economizes with his words, thus let's us enjoy both the tension of the game and the table talk. And when he speaks he's spot on what's going on. And in a calm and clear voice at the perfect volume. Kudos, Gabe!

      @Timothy John how is intentionally acting out of turn an angle? Do I really need to explain this? Not that it is even relevant, but you have no idea what the floors ruling would have been if Garrett decided to change his bet size, there is no blanket rule for this because what EP did was against the rules and an angle and B) Garrett would never do that, his main concern was not somehow taking advantage of an amateur not that he went from thinking his hand was best to being unsure. I GUARANTEE you if you show that clip to ANY professional they would tell you that is an angle. Maybe you don’t know poker very well which is fine, but if you do I assume that asking how that’s an angle is Trolling.
