Least favorite poker pro

kaiWalk · Aug 6, 2008

To go with NYislanders previous thread, who is your least favorite player?

There are a lot that annoy me but I think Helmuth tops the list. Jamie Gold, Hevad Khan and Jerry Yang (mostly because of his wife's screaming prayers) are up there too though.

Humberto.

Haha not a pro but something indise me dies everytime Jennifer Tilly is on TV playing poker.

I get why people arent fond of Jamie Gold but i dunno, hes so innocent and thinks hes so good it makes me smile. I dont particulary like pros who go off on one just for losing a hand, i.e. Hellmuth.

Good point. If he ever pulled out that freakin' shark at me, I'd be tempted to pimp-slap him.

Sheiky.

I want to smash that shark every time I see it.

Other than that the players who bug me are the one who just take up space on the TV screen, those with no personality, like.....????? Well, I can't name any cause they are totally unremarkable!

Hey dj! Wassup?

My least favorite is probably Annie Duke! For screwing up UBs schedule!

I agree... Humberto

He gets so damn annoying with that little toy shark. I keep waiting on someone to cram it down his throat.

Ahhahaa the first two people that came to my mind were Hellmuth, then Tilly.

But I'd rather watch Tilly, because even when she's getting cold cards I can keep from getting bored. :top:

Poker should follow football's lead and have more wardrobe malfunctions.

Humberto can get a little annoying but overall I still like watching him play, however Hellmuth gets on my nerves more than any othe player without a doubt. I get so tired of his constant self promotion, not to mention him telling everyone else how bad they play everytime he looses a hand. You would think the guy would be happy everyone is so bad and just take advantage of that and keep his mouth shut. Half the time I think he just does it so that they will not make moves on him just so they don't have to hear him go off again. It is just sick that he is supposedly the top player and can't conduct himself like a true professional.

Hellmuth. There's a great video on PokerSavvy of a guy playing $5k NL6max on UB with commentary by one of their pros "Dani" where he says "...watching Hellmuth play NL cash is like watching retarded monkeys throwing shit at eachother..."

Hmmm hard decision, I probably would take Eric Seidel since he is so boring at the tables.

I prefer Pro's who do a bit more action & are talkative, because when I watch Poker I want to be entertained a bit as well and not just stare at the cards.

BlackFish2 · Aug 6, 2008

Humberto and Hellmuth are at the top of my list.

Humberto: can't stand that shark, he is very annoying

Hellmuth: cries to much

IronMonkey · Aug 6, 2008

Without a question no one is more annoying than Jamie Gold

jokish123 · Aug 6, 2008

Jamie Gold ( he sucks at poker)
Hevad Khan (a loadmouth loser...needs to grow up some)
Hellmuth (Cries to much when he is hit with a bad beat)

jhnnyfckfce · Aug 6, 2008

I totally agree with Hellmuth. I was really surprised to see how many people posted him as their fav in the other thread. Every time he freaks out for losing a hand he puts me on life tilt.

brewdawg69 · Aug 6, 2008

What was that kids name that finished 3rd or so in the wsop main event a couple of years back? Josh Areya or something. What a total azz.

cheezepoker · Aug 6, 2008

Hellmuth and Mike the Mouth. Everyone gets mad when they get beat, but to let everyone in the poker room, or thats watching on T.V. know how you are feeling is an absolute insanity. Keep it to your self, just like you do when you are the one who gave the bad beat.

The Shrog · Aug 6, 2008

Leibert. I just can't stand her...although she is hot...

shammalamma · Aug 6, 2008

It's gotta be Hellmuth without a doubt. Although I can identify with some of his anger on bad-beats and suckouts, whining like he does is just bad for the game.

NewHill · Aug 6, 2008

So many to choose from

Well there's so many idiots now it's hard to choose,but I think it's between Shawn Shekan and Tony G.Both are some of the biggest pieces of trash you would ever have the pleasure of sitting down with.

lightning36 · Aug 6, 2008

Humberto. My wife, who knows little about poker, knows who he is and can't stand him either. I guess his act is just a big play for the cameras, but I don't like how poker seems to promote guys who show poor sportsmanship. Good for the ratings, I guess.

Makwa · Aug 6, 2008

Humberto, Sheiky, Freddy Deeb (also tied to the UB scandal)... but Antonio the magician is real creepy also. Hmmm...

lol it was hilarious on PAD when Tilly checked down her (I think nut) full house on the river because she thought the other guy had quads! Phil Ivey's face was brilliant.
