Announcers I have a feeling I'll be in the minority opinion but I like the fact that every Wed. I come home after work, eat, smoke and #2 then the WPT comes on with familiar faces and voices. I remember not liking the host of the first Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo but changing to Dave Foley has made the show barely watchable (I love kids in the hall/news radio but Dave as a host is not a good choice). I did like the fact they brought back Phil Gordon. Anyway, I like the WPT hosts because Mike understands basic and advanced strategies well enough to comment coherently and the other dude gives the show a regular joe's commentary on play which is sometimes laughable. I don't mind the nicknames they give for hands as well--but it would be funnier if they included some of the dirty ones. Just my 2 cents
