Cash- Doyle Brunson (Awesome reads and bluffs w 60+ years experience)
Tournament- Phil Helmuth (Goes deep lots, plays ICM, sucks at cash)
Online- Tom Dwan (Still money leader?? Getting good at live cash also...)
Overall- Doyle Brunson (Wins big in WPT as well as cash) :adore:
Fun- Mike Matusow/Phil Laak (Sad and happy clowns) and Scotty Baby!!! :D
Like Me- Dan Harrington (TAG MTT patient player, no fun, thinker and winner)
Favorite- Phil Ivey (Scary stare, unpredictable, fearless, but no patience for tourneys)

Phil Ivey for all of them except for most fun to watch (any number of players could take that one IMO - Dwan, Laak, Veldhuis and sometimes even Barry Greenstein) and plays most like me (I've got no idea) and favourite player (that one goes to Doyle).

Best Cash Player - Ivey
Best Tournament Player - That's pretty tough, it's probably one of the online guys like Sumpas, Siola, moorman1, djk123 or Jovial Gent. They're all, and a bunch more, far better than someone like Hellmuth. If it's primarily on live though it's probably Mercier or Negreanu
Best Online Player - Dwan or isildur for no limit and probably ziigy for plo
Best Overall Player - Ivey
Most Fun to Watch - Dwan
Player's Style Most Like Yours - Anyone who is a bad micro reg, but I'd like to be similar to someone like dogishead
Favorite Players - Dwan, Ivey, Galfond and ziigy
