Unfortunately, poker commentators like Norman Chad are going to remain terrible color commentators. Afterall, if they gave you more complete insight into each hand of the game, they would end up losing more money on the poker tables. For instance, you will hardly ever hear these guys comment about poker tells. Here's an example that Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten didn't say anything about. In one World Poker Tour event in San Jose, Phil Gordon was faced with a decision to call an amateur opponent with the short stack who went all-in on a hand. He stared at her through binoculars at the table and got a reaction from her. Now think about it. Why would someone bring binoculars to a poker table? To get a reaction from an amateur, thus getting a read from that person. Gordon got a reaction from the amateur, thus got a read from her that led Gordon to lay down his hand and save some money. But you'll never hear people like Sexton, Van Patten or Chad bring these things up, otherwise they would lose more money at the tables by giving away this information.
