The Risk of it all

i grew up in portland oregon till i was 15 then moved to Reno, NV where i really started to learn the game as a teenager. if you had money and u new people u could play. the rule was dont be a punk kid and talk trash. be respectful and have class. at that time in reno Stu Unger was living there. as a young teenager who was sheltered till he moved to reno i was given a quick education on things you cant learn in school. living there and being around that way of life (pool halls out all hours of the night). but you always heard the name stu unger, doyle brunson. To me Stu Unger was the purest and most instinctive player that has or ever will play the game.
he choose to live the fast life and on the edge and somethimes he would sway over the edge. NO one can say they won three time and i beleive he was never beaten in the main event he played 3 times and won 3 times. To me thats what its means to do something and be the best at it.
So tell me who for favorite player is and why

Stu... He lived the maniac life and I can appreciate it lol

my idol poker is Daniel Negreanu! it is excellent "reads" the card opponent and won 6 bracelets.

I like playing as Vanessa Rousso. And besides, she is also pretty =)

I like to watch the man Doyle Brunson...he doesn't holly wood or beat around the bush, he plays the game the way it suppose to be played.

Stu is one of my idols, I also like Negreanu, Hellmuth and Ivey as I like seeing young players that dominate from a young age. I enjoy watching the old time masters like Brunson and Amarillo Slim as well, as they were the guys who started the whole poker movement and brought the game to the masses. I studying how the different players have styles that sometimes are similar but sometimes are very different but how they all have been very successfull at the same game.

Try all and you will be the best, and they tried to believe in themselves !!!!

I like the style of play Antonio esfondiari , I believe that he is playing very well and he's got a lot to learn
