Nobody/ I like to wach some people playing, for example Negreanu, Ivey or Kachalov. But I can't say that someone can be called "mu idol". Poker is the game where everybody can beat anyone. There is no place for idols.

LOL Hey buddy!

My idols in poker are those who don't need recognition. The ones who have survived through the years and are still winning.

When I read the thread title, I came here to answer no one was my poker idol, but I was thinking of Negreanu as a good player with a good personality. It seems he is Cardschats #1 favorite and I can see why.

10 years ago, I would have answered Sammy Farha. I've seen more clips of him now, and he is very entertaining. He's kind of a turd sometimes and that bothers me. Winning Sammy is fun.

Also, since I didn't see much mention, a few I like:

Doyle Brunson
Johnny Chan
Carlos Mortenson

André Akkari

Not only by the person who is at the tables , but mostly by the person who is away from the table

 

[radu florin]

Negreanu !

My idol Daniel Negreanu. I think he's the best. He's a great tactician and psychologist

[Doh123]

I'm surprised noone mentioned Stu Ungar. For me, it's him !

 

[lovemiscou]

My poker idol is Daniel Negreanu, he is one of the best players and he is good for poker all around.

 

[CincyTim83]

If I would say my favorite for maximizing his value in a poker life is Helmuth, Now if it was one person's life I idol in poker it would be Esfandari

My Poker Idol

Which player you admire most in poker ?

Ok I'll say it, I'm in love with Daniel Negreanu. I hear he's gay but I can open his eyes lol. Well he's the cutest but Durr absolutely scares me so I'm torn between cuteness & skill. Who am I kidding I'd take any of them even either of the Phil's because I foresee poker for a living in the future.

 

[paulinhlt]

akkari, negreanu, hellmuth, bedias

 

[KarolisTisk]

i think i admire phil ivey, for his high level of play and skill... he is mature btw not like 80% of poker players
