I really don't admire poker players however I think you could say Barry Greenstein is admirable for his donations to charity and Cliff Josephy (JohnnyBax) has been very willing to put money back into poker through successful staking. So i think those would be good choices to emulate.

I've always been a fan of Joseph Cheong, even before is awesome 3rd place finish at the 2010 wsop ME. Fan of his aggressive style and his calm demeanor.

Also a fan of Adam Junglen, but I don't think he's really played a lot in the last couple years. At least not live. Another great, aggressive player with just a cool presence at the tables.

My favourite poker players:
Daniel Negreanu (amazing reads), Tom Dwan (epic bluffs), Viktor Blom (aggressive and exciting), Phil Laak (cool personality), Tony G (hilarious guy).

My least favourite:
Phil Ivey (complete degen), Phil Hellmuth (whiny brat), Brian Hastings (cheater, dishonourable)

I admire Daniel Negreanu a lot. He is a great spokesman for poker as well as a fun person to watch. He always seems to be happy go lucky an'd he is always polite to the other players. He doesn't use negatives and although he is serious when playing a hand he is also not a sore loser. I also like Antonio Esfandiari. He also has a good sense of humor and I think that is needed when facing the odds of playing poker.

I like Negreanu just because he puts a lot of focus on making the game entertaining for viewers, whereas a lot of people dont seem to care about it.

Even though the personalities are fun to watch, I think the most exciting tournament player to watch is Michael Mizrachi. He makes great decisions and really tough spots and is not afraid to trust his gut, great player

The one and only, current all time money list leader :D
Daniel Negreanu for his style, his speaking at every table, being great person and having amazing reading abilities for sure.
Next would be Dan Colman because of his style, especially the way he won Big One For One Drop in 2014 for over $15M, and his age.
Last one would be Durrr. :)

I like Negreanu too and It would be really cool to play a round of golf with him too cos he's a keen golfer I believe...

I admire Tom Dwan also cos he shows a lot of guts with his wild bluffs !
