who's ur favorite player?

i know it's been asked tons of times, but who's your favorite player, and why?

mine is daniel negreanu because he reads people like street signs

Negreanu and Greenstein.. Because of their reading abilities..



OH and Sammy Farha because he is a ****ing badass.

Phil Helmuth purely for entertainment value

i got 3 favorites Mike Matusow,Daniel negreanu and Phil ivy none of them are similar too each other in their playin style, thats why i think cause watching each one of them learning new things

Jen Harman, because it's what I always answer.

Negreanu by far for me, even though I do believe he needs a hair cut.

Chip Reese, Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Phil Ivey, TJ Cloutier etc etc

My answer changes every time I answer this type of thread.

Truthfully though the Evelyn Ngs, Clonie Gowens, Isabel Merciers, and Vanessa Russos of the poker world get more than one part of the anatomy's attention.

Mike Sexton and Doyle, old school all the way.

Nagreanu, Ivey, Hanson, and Lindgren for me. I love their super aggressive styles and their ability to read.

For other reasons I have to add: Clonie Gowen, Evelyn NG.

my favorite 3 or matasou daniel N and tony G I love dainel the best cause he is sick the way he reads people and the other 2 I love for there charecter especially tony g its funny at times the way he goes on tantrums ripping players would be tourture to put up with that at a table and that is what makes him so deadly another I do like alot and is rising on my list very fast is Ivey he is going to be something special

My thoughts exactly. Hes amazing!!!

Favourite Poker Player?

Myself of course ! lol

Nah just joking...uhm Jennifer Harman is nice to watch since she's quite attractive

favorite is a hard decision.

my favorite stud H/L player is Doyle's son Todd, I read his section in Doyles supersystem 2 and it was amazing.

the best consistent tourney players are Phil Hellmuth and Negranu (spelled that wrong sorry Daniel), love Phil or hate him he is very very good.

Phil Ivey is amazing player just because he does not react no matter what hand he makes.

Doyle of course is amazing not only as a player but a person, his life story is amazing and his struggles with Cancer really hit home for me with my son passing from cancer. Doyle is a inspiration for knowing what you want and fighting for it, Thank you again Doyle.

There are alot of good players out there that have done alot for poker and I could list them all but it would take too long.

oh oh oh Mike Caro is the best poker annalist there is, I read his section in SS2 and was amazed, alot might not know who he is but he is a terrific player.

Just in case these things get confusing: My vote on Harman has nothing to do with her looks at all. I just happen to think that she's one of the best all around players in the world today, and she doesn't really get a lot of credit for anything else than her looks, which must kinda suck.

Jennifer Harman is my favorite next to Daniel Negreanu (ok, and Gus Hansen --roundcat will know what I'm talking about). I like her because she's just there to play poker--and she's good at it. I've seen her throw some Daniel-esque reads on people. I really admire her.

You hit me right on the button Daniel Negreanu is the worlds best player,He is a god of poker, he can read any player any day and is nearly unbeatable heads up.

Actually, I think that it's us amateur players who don't give Jennifer alot of credit. Most of the sites I've read she's fairly high up on the list of the best.

On the other hand, I'm betting that she could care less that anyone thinks she's better eye candy than a poker player. Wouldn't you hope that, while sitting at the poker table, someone is thinking they want to get you in the sack instead of sacking you at the table.

I don't really have a favorite, but if I had to choose it would be..........hmmm..........I cannot pick just one. Johnny Chan, bracelets, do I need to say anything else? Except for great looking shirts. And who cannot like to watch Mike Matusow (for his mouth) and Gus Hansen ( so unpredictable). I like Chris Furguson because he never does anything fast, he really thinks about everything. I like Antonio Esfandiari because he's just fun to watch. Oh! I do have 2 favorites, Tilly and Harman because they are WOMEN!! hehe

Definitly hard to choose a fav. Mike Matasou and his never ending comments. Obviously Daniel N. has a great game. Johny Chan being the biggest bully the pro circut has ever seen. And of course the ladies are always fun to watch. Yet if I had to pick a fav I would have to pick phil Ivey. Bluff no bluff got it or don't his fave never changes. Well except for one time Jen Harmon made 'em laugh.

my favorite is the one who gives me all of their chips

My lawyers have instructed me to say Evelyn Ng because she is from Canada, and what Bodog claims is "stacked" in more than one way. I agree.

Old School? Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson

New School? Phil Ivey

mine's gotta be john juanda without a doubt.

My favourite player is Tony G because of his super aggressive style, and his trash talk is hilarious

"Sk Out On Me" at FTP is an awesome player, doesn't get a lot of credit because he plays mostly low stakes, but i've seen him turn $1.26 into $60 in 3 days, without playing like a complete idiot. Next to that, Marcel Luske, great player, and is very comedic.

LEE WATKINSON...........................no,just kidding

I think Phil Ivey is the best player right now,just because....well,he has SKILLS.

Scotty Nguyen all the way. His mouth has won him a wpt and a wsop main event. (Same can be said about Jamie Gold to a certain extent, even though being the luckiest person in a room filled with people one week straight helped him out a little...)

Seeing the question is who's your favorite and not who do you think is the best. My answer is Phil Hellmuth. If I'm starting a game he's on the top of the invite list. You know it will have a few laughs.

Here are my favs and why :

Ivey b/c of his balls and poker face

Negrenau b/c of his reading skills and charisma

Helmuth b/c he is the 'poker brat' and I have his luck

Harrington b/c his book made me what I am, a good poker player

J Hartman b/c she looks good , I said it


There u have it!

i would have to say Phil Ivey, incredible ability to read a situation, and is the youngest to have gotten to 5 bracelets.

#1 favorite: Daniel Negrenau (awesome attituda and fun to watch)
#2 favorite: Phil Ivey (just a stone cold great player)
#3 favorite: Chris Ferguson (a legend)
#4 favorite: Moneymaker (not the best player, but he opened the floodgates for poker)

The Worst Players Ever

#1 Phil Hellmuth (biggest brat and poorest loser I've ever seen in my life)
#2 Mike Matisow<spelling?> (same as Phil, but not as bad, and actually sometimes entertaining to watch)

Daniel Negreanu is my fave because of his good attitude. Even in defeat he keeps his composure and pride intact.

Favorite player Sam Farha
Here is a link about him Sam Farha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

he doesn't have the best resume, but if you have ever watched him on high stakes poker you'd love him. If not here is a link where you can watch the whole series just do a search.

two pages and no respect for the late great 3 peat WSOP champion?
I'm not going to mention name, but most know who I'm talking about.
If he was still around it would have been nice to see him go up against Daniel N. both great table readers.
