Which pro would you want to learn poker from?

DawgBones · Dec 15, 2008

Well my first choice would be Jennifer Tilly but that probably wouldn't work out cause even if she did have anything worth teaching it would probably go in one ear and out the other.Too much eye candy

So my real choice would be Eric Lindgren. Gotta be doing something right to win player of the year.

For nlhe Phil Gordon
For all other poker Daniel Negreaneua

disishtokie · Dec 16, 2008

I would choose Daniel Negreanu because of his overall style of play, (not too L-AG but not afraid to take a few risks) and his great reading ability.

One9Design · Dec 16, 2008

Ivey or maybe Brunson. Tough choice.

Doyle has probably played more hands than the rest combined. He also does not have a style. He is very difficult to read.

I bet doyle hasn't played even close to as many hands combined unless you're not including online poker. If you're including online poker, then Matusow alone has probably played more hands than Brunson. Matusow plays so much online poker, he says that even when he was in prison he wouldn't have minded being there at all if he had online poker. lol

Ahem .. 3 time WSOP main event champion (2 years back to back)...

and a hell of a party guy!!!

Cant understand why a certain pro isn't on this hypothetical list!!!

Probably not on list because he is dead. Sad but true, a dead man is not going to teach you much about poker and unless he's Bernie probably not much fun at parties.
By the way I picked Danny N., his reads are sick.

naruto_miu · Dec 16, 2008

Patrik Antonuis, would be my pick personally, the guys stone cold bluff face when he does bluff, his reading abilities, not to mention he just seems like an overall, well rounded person, who can stay focused easily

BelgoSuisse · Dec 16, 2008

I'd actually go with CTS, stoxtrader or leatherass. I'm pretty sure their experience is a hell of a lot more applicable to the kind of stakes that i could consider beating.

Yeah but its a hypothetical list!!!

This isn't a competition you know, the best answer dosnt actually win a day out with his favorite pro.

So hypothetically speaking.......

Dan Herrington; observed that one of his bootcamp students is fairing very nicely after taking his training

KDS63 · Dec 16, 2008

I am always amazed by Negreanu's ability to read people - but in thinking more about it, I'm not sure he's the one I would want as a teacher. Question is, can he teach his reading ability or is he more of a natural/instinct player?

yankeenut23 · Dec 16, 2008

other...

I would love to learn from Dan Harrigton. I love his game and image!:icon_sant

evilbughead · Dec 16, 2008

Pro teacher

I would have to say hands down Daniel Kid Poker Negreanu.

Bill_Hollorian · Dec 16, 2008

Ted Forrest.

I have had the opportunity to play with him only once. I have sweated him on several occasions. He is just scary good. They call him professor backwards, his style can not be described.

Ted if your out there Teach me to play like you!

raxmus · Dec 16, 2008

Tony G. don't ask me why, I just like the guy.

robertvgomez2 · Dec 16, 2008

I definitely say Phil Ivey. He may be a loose cannon sometimes but he knows what the hell he is doing!

toss88 · Dec 16, 2008

i would pick the unibomber aka phil laak because i think he's the greatest. Hes a funny guy so I don't think i'll will be bored while he teaches me, and I really like the way he plays and how he thinks.

Deltafrost · Dec 16, 2008

leatherass, stosh, alan jackson, basically any of the really good midstakes grinders. Id rather have them coach me because those stakes are way closer to beatable. Plus most pros are very live oriented, where my game will be focused on the online game.

left52side · Dec 16, 2008

I would love to learn poker strategy from "action"dan harrington.
to me he is one of the best there is.
although my style and his are quite dirrerent.

piper_p · Dec 16, 2008

i would probly pick doyle brunson because hes been playing for a very long time and hes a really good cash player and thats what i like playing.

learn from which pro?

phil ivey his demanor always cool at the tables analyzes everything most consistent player on the tour!

davejs1671@yahoo.com · Dec 18, 2008

Chip Reese would be number one on my list. I would love to be able to learn a little from a few different payers. Negraneau for his reading ability. Gus Hansen just to know what hes thinking when he plays and how he makes his style work. Doyle for all his vast knowledge of all the games. Eric Lindgren because of his style and aggression. Ivey for how he processes hands and how he reads other players.

zhutzler · Dec 18, 2008

I would like to learn from Evelyn Ng because she is the best looking professional and is a intelligent player.
