Your favorite poker pro and why!

Im from the old school so I really like Johnny Chan. Doyle still is the tops as far as Im concerned in how he conducts himself at the table. Also his play is great. Watch when he prepares for an aggressive move. Silent but deadly.

I like to watch Sam Farha on tv the most, not sure if that is what being asked her or not. He always makes it exciting on hsp, along with Eli Elazra. I would much rather watch/play cash games than a tournament anyday, seems to be more action and better play. Not to mention it is always cool to see the big million dollar pots.

Don't have a favourite but I absolutely despise Daniel Negreanu.

My favorites are basically the recurring cast of High Stakes Poker.

Additionally, "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Tony G, as he makes for great TV.

pantin007 · Jun 24, 2008

chad bautista and ted forrest.

Doyle. 'nuff said, really.

N.D. · Jun 24, 2008

Favorite's tough to call so my least favorite is Sean Sheikhan. He just creeps me out so bad. Makes my skin crawl. There's something very, very, seedy about the vibe he gives. Yick...

That's saying a lot since I actually like Matusow on account of he makes me laugh.

N.D. · Jun 24, 2008

So I read his Wiki entry and it looks like there's a really good reason for him to creep me out. Could he be any creepier?

boss316 · Jun 24, 2008

Ive always been a fan of Lederer, but also enjoy Negreanu. I love to see Matusaw and Hellmuth go off though, funny stuff.

Makwa · Jun 24, 2008

Me, because I am always learning from everyone listed above etc., and I like myself better.

MrMuckets · Jun 24, 2008

Hellmuth makes my favorite lists and Matusow my most hated list. Go figure.

KyleJRM · Jun 24, 2008

Negreanu. Not for the soulreading, which is cool but somewhat overrated, but for his attitude.

He just seems like a fun-loving, well-grounded guy. Plus, he's Canadian. I wish I was Canadian.

That's like saying you love peanut butter but hate jelly. Or "strawberries are awesome but cream makes me gag". Can't have Hellmuth without Matusow. World could stop turning.

Funny, i'd say focus his one of Ivey's biggest weakness. He even states that sometimes he gets bored playing in tournaments, that he prefers high stakes cash games. So sometimes his focus wanes, but when he is determined, very tough player.

Gus Hansen. Because everyone thinks that he sucks, but actually he is the only live player that plays the correct playing style. Hyper aggressive ..

Many people claims that this style destroys poker....It don`t destroys poker, it just makes poker more difficult.

light65536 · Jun 25, 2008

I have to go with Hellmuth. He's the most entertaining. Second maybe Farha for the same reson.

ambripiotta · Jun 26, 2008

max"the italian pirate" pescatori because is my friend

LeaveMeAlone · Jun 26, 2008

Dude its gotta be Farha. You guys ever watch High Stakes poker on GSN. Its hilarious cause when he's splashing around and bluffing at pots hes all smiles. But right after he gets called on a bluff or re-raise he gets this depressed look on his face...it cracks me up everytime.

unstoppable4 · Jun 26, 2008

Hellmuth because of the ice

chainfire98 · Jun 27, 2008

Hellmuth can be annoying though.

sboilyw · Jun 29, 2008

Negreanu too.

For Canadians - Pokerstars has a freeroll this month for a chance to visit Negreanu at home in Vegas.

RinzaiKensho · Oct 7, 2008

Nam Le is my favorite player. He is a young guy so he is often underestimated by his opponent. He is a strong player in games other than Hold'em and it seems like so many players are stuck as hold'em players. In general he is a fun player to watch.

Negreanu

Daneil Negreanu, He just seems like a likeable guy.
