Doyle-Maybe back in the day he was really aggro and gambly. But nowadays he's just a nit
Negreanu-Pretty loose and aggressive. He's excellent at reading people and therefore willing to play many hands because of his postflop play. Harrington-A rock. Very very situational and is capable of adapting very quickly to anything. Very solid play both practically and theoretically Hansen-Same as Negreanu, but he's more aggressive and doesn't call as often Ferguson-Same as Harrington it seems |

Aren't they pros because they can change their styles at anytime to suit the table they're playing at? It's like that Gus Hansen commercial from FTP.
"I'm always mixing up my play to keep people guessing. Who will I be this hand? Trapping Gus who check raises your chips away. Aggressive Gus who plays every hand no matter what. How I play is up to you." |

Doyle - depends on the game, but I think Emperor's on the right track. He plays a lot tighter nowadays than he used to.
Negreanu - he calls his style smallball. Whether he's loose-passive or loose-aggressive depends on the game from what I've seen of his play on TV. Harrington - definitely a nit. Hansen - loose-aggressive. He was kinda the poster boy for the style until guys like Durrrr came along. Ferguson - tight-aggressive. I wouldn't say he's as nitty as someone like Harrington, but he's not getting out of line too often. |
