Who is your poker idol?

szwajar1979 · Nov 19, 2025

Hello. Who do you think is the best poker player in the world? Daniel Negreanu?? How about Patrick Antonius? For me, the best is Viktor Malinowski!

I was inspired to play poker by Chris Moneymaker's achievement in 2003. I don't have a poker idol. I like Phil Ivey's game.

Can’t choose between Daniel Negreanu & Phil Ivey! 😁

Daniel Negreanu is known among poker players. He is a Poker Hall of Fame inductee, an idol, and a poker legend.Not only is he a true professional, he's also a very open, friendly person with an excellent sense of humor and self-deprecation, which undoubtedly endears him to people. When Negreanu is at the table or in the commentary booth during a live poker tournament broadcast, it's practically impossible to tear yourself away from the screen.

For me, a great player is Zeros Poker. Since I’m Argentinian, I watch a lot of poker content in Spanish, and he’s a major reference when it comes to GTO.

For me, Fortuna is the goddess, I love her the most. It's a pity that she doesn't love me.

Right now I don't have any idols—I've only been playing for 8 months.

I know that this is the most Cliche answer possible, but Daniel Negreanu is simply my favorite player. He might not be the best player, and sure, sometimes his reads are wrong (or right, but he still makes the wrong call anyway, lol). But what i truly like about him is how he always steals the spotlight, and not in an annoying way like other pros such as Tony G or even Phil Hellmuth.... He is honestly charming and very fun.

Also, seeing his streams when he plays online poker is one of the wildest things ever, because he behaves 180° different as he does on live poker... because on live poker he behaves professionally, gentlemanly... but online he cusses, talks crazy talk, gets tilted, throws stuff around... kinda like me lol. Hes just great.

If I had to pick a poker “idol,” I’d go with Fedor Holz.
Not just because he crushed the high-roller scene at a ridiculously young age, but because of the way he did it.

John Juanda has always been my biggest inspiration in playing poker.

No idols but I like the 3 Phil's(Helmuth, Ivey and Galfond) a lot. If I had to choose just one of them it would Galfond as he's one of the most respected amongst his peers, great player in all poker variations and is really knowledgeable and smart not just at poker but at business and in real life off the table. He also one of the most honest poker players you'll find.

Cheers!!!

My poker idol is Daniel Negreanu. His ability to read opponents, stay positive, and constantly adapt to the modern game is impressive. He shows that personality and strategy can go hand in hand.

anbu210 · Nov 21, 2025

It has been Dnegs always... But as coaching I would say "Jonathan Little".

Mag_P1e · Nov 21, 2025

I can't call this man my idol, but I always find Phill Hellmuth fascinating to watch. The way he loses control is pure joy.

Pure rage and raw trash talk.

The best player in the world, the player I admire and respect immensely, is me. I am definitely the best of the best, even though I regularly lose my bankroll.
