[Closed] Which professional poker player do you like the most?

agree with sneakyhand haha.. laak's playstyle is so boring though. 100% rocktight.

off-topic: vladnz, do you play any live tournaments in auckland? if so, where? i want to get into the poker scene here !

i cant play im only 18 i have to be 20 ,in Skycity its full of tournaments and of fish super fish

by the way you from Auckland ?

Where is Barry G on the list?

From the list: PA by far.

i like brian townsend most.

and mr lol donkaments barry greenstein is missing!

I voted for Daniel Negreanu , because of his origins and his unique style of play and his insane reads. But I like Phil Laak and Sam Farha too. Oh and forgot about Phil Ivey and Matusow :))))

Daniel Negreanu and Annette Obrestad ♦ !

wtf thats sickkkkkkk 57+13 omg

Daniel Negreanu, hands down :). I very much enjoy watching him play, such a nice and social style and very often make very good reads etc.

obviously doyle brunson. when i started watching pokershows i saw him at a wpt final table and he just dominated and literally killed all the players there.
also it´s very impressive how calm he stays no matter what. another reason is his life story which he described in super system... very impressive

i like most players who are listed here but my favourites (beside brunson) are negreanu, harrington, reese and greenstein. unfortunately reese and harrington don´t get too much tv time

players i can´t stand:
gold ! he gets just killed every time he plays at a table with REAL pokerplayers, sucks out 2 or 3 times, still loses nearly all his money (at the table), bluffs 95% of the hands, gets caught about 90% of the time and if a stupid bluff finally works once in a year he talks about "being best bluffer in the world" -.-
and before someone else can say it: of course i´m envious because of his 12 mio win ^^

hellmuth ;(
maybe he really is the best hold´em player in the world but his stupid attitude just gets me on tilt. at hsp season 4 he just got owned and totally outplayed by an amateur called baxter (?) and after that he cried about 2 hours... which is "ok"... but it wasn´t ok to offend this guy. and looks like he is doing this all the time... at the wsop horse event he insulted about half of the players there -.-
matusow got a 30 or 40 minutes penalty for saying the f-word 3 or 4 times and mr. hellmuth is allowed to call anybody an idiot, a moron etc...

i also like laak and esfandiari because of their "i bet you" thing ^^. was quite funny... but one day i noticed that laak is married to jennifer tilly... so fuck him

Haha! I got a really wide smile here when I read "but one day i noticed that laak is married to jennifer tilly... so fuck him haha ;).

I like a lot of players, Negranu for his good reads, but I think I like Gus Hansen's play the most, just top notch.

Barry Greenstein

Voted Hellmuth because of unique tournament strategy.

From online players I would vote Jon "PearlJammer" Turner

omg, i shouldn't have voted for negreanu.

Scotty Nguyen!

Yeah, baby! If you call it's all over, baby! ♦

I'm pretty sure that tuff_fish is the voice in the Saw movies. Gotta love it when he hits a bad-beat...

[x] others

-> Phil Laak

Antonius rulez both live and online both in tourneys as well as cash games.Hes probably best in the world except possibly Ivey.Hes my choice.
