Me personally I played poker since I was young. I first started playing 5 card draw. But the 3 most influential professional player that got me interested in Holden was Phil hellmuth, Doyle brunson, and tj cloutier

I'm a big fan of Phil Ivey.
He inspires me-thanks to him I started playing poker

I think I wanted to play poker just because I fancied it and because it uses a good deal of Maths which I live rather than starting because of a particular player - that being said, my favourite player is Daniel.

I believe that Doyle Brunson was the most influenical because of his books and not 10 2 as a good hand.:five:

Hi

I like a lot of poker players enjoy watching the pros play the game. I have always like to watch Ivey and kid poker play the game.

peter eastgate. When he won the main event, I didn't know the rules of poker, but I liked his demeanor at the table, not over celebrating a suckout.

Phil Ivey's way of achieving his goal is playing poker. Losing the bankroll, he arranged for any work and returned to the cloth. Gradually improving his skills has achieved the greatest results:

wsop - world series of poker
Bracelets 10
Final tables 31
Prize money 55
Best result

(Main Event) 7, 2009
WPT - World Poker Tour
Victory 1
Final tables 9

Prize money 13

EPT - European Poker Tour Victory No
Final tables 1
Trophies 3

Haha actually the person who got me started wasn't a poker pro. It's a twitch streamer by the name reckful. Just made me think hey, poker is interesting. I always wondered how this game worked. And that was like 15 months ago

I'm also inspired by the beginning of Chris Moneymaker's career. I always follow the news about poker and professional level players. I like the players Tom Dwan and Vitaly Lunkin.
And now there are many successful players. New format

actually, I started playing with all the things i found here on CC.
Came for the freerolls, did my qualified posts, and for that you have to read some stuff. Yesterday i watched KidPoker Doku, really imressive. Well Daniel is the most recent succesful player, but I love this german stone guy Holtz. (I hope) he is sooooo cool and neither Daniel can read him.

I'm going to answer this in two ways. The way I go into it was Moneymaker. I figured that anyone could get there if you put the time in. Later I found out this was somewhat true. I takes tons of time between studying, watching coaching videos and live play and of course playing yourself. I stopped for playing for about the last 4 years and the player who got me back into is was Doug Polk's youtube videos

The professional poker player that first inspired me to play was actually a fictional character, Maverick (from the original 1960’s TV show). Bret more than Bart, of course. Guess that makes me kinda old.

"Poker According to Maverick" was the first poker book I ever read. It included some age-old advice such as, “Never play poker with women.” :icon_stud

Hello.
Olivia "Liv" Boeree. First of all, I was interested in her story of success and poker victory. This is obviously the result of hard work. I realized that if I work hard, I will also be able to achieve a lot in poker.

I watched the 2003 WSOP but Greg Raymer really got me motivated the next two years to start playing. I didn't really idolize him but watching him crush the competition two years in a row really ignited my poker passion.

For a long time I did not know any professional players, I saw how people play poker and I liked this game, but later I saw how Daniel Negreanu plays and I like watching games with his presence!
