I'm not familiar with many, but I often watch Davidi Kitai. I like how he plays and explains his moves. He is very clear, and I find it possible to understand him even though I am an amateur with limited knowledge.

Not really. I don't tend to watch the big tournaments or high stake cash games, and I'm not a fan of live players in that sense.

I'm trying to seek out online content where players will explain concepts and theory, their thought processes etc. For a lot of that time it has been much lesser known players who will talk specifically about online microstakes play because where I'm at right now. Of course you can always learn from the best, but some of the concepts just don't apply.

Things like assuming someone's range is unlikely include AA-JJ, or AKs, AQs because they didn't 3 bet preflop. A good percentage of players just flat call a raise, even with AA on the tables I play because they never 3 bet, let alone 4 bet! They won't even raise first-in with them. Or you see players calling 3 or 4 bets with junk and hit random 2 pairs that you just can't see being in a range they should be playing based off their actions.

To throw out a couple more known players names, I was watching some Brad Owen vlogs today. I was really enjoying the way he explains his thinking in each hand he plays. There's some good content on Charlie Carrel's channel where he's coaching people in games like NL25 and NL50.

I believe it's entirely valid to focus on what you're playing and what seems useful to you. It's true that extrapolating what they do to any random table is very difficult, if not unrealistic.
Regarding the people you named, I didn't know them, but I'll definitely check to see if their explanations are helpful for me too!

In this question I try to follow the one good phrase: " Don't Create Self an Idol!" This means: I following my own Poker path!.. That's it!

Hi there! I started playing poker quite recently so my top 3 players would go something like this:
1- Phil Ivey. Just the GOAT by what i saw from him, nothing to say
2- Daniel Negreanu. A very complete player, he often reads situations very carefully and proceeds to have the most profitable plays. Also good at bluff
3- Phil Laak. He entertains me a lot when i see him bluffing in videos or getting excited, in my book he gets in the top for now
