I hope I do underestimate it, my first impression from one episode doesn't have to be correct. Although:

"How have you prepared to host the show?
I DVR’d a bunch of HSP and Poker After Dark episodes and watched them with a few poker buddies. I’ve also been reading a lot about poker and looking up YouTube videos of some of the players."

Does he have an advisor like Fricke behind the scenes? I thought that setup sounded silly at first but it works very well on Big Game.

W/e Gabe is probably the only guy who can walk naturally on both sides of the felt at those stakes with those players and still be funny.
