Who do you think is the most annoying player to watch on TV?

To me, the most annoying player to watch is Chris Ferguson. He plays tight and takes so long to act no matter what the situation. Even when you are 100% sure he's folding, you have to watch him sit there in silence for like 3 minutes before acting. I understand that he wants to put on a show and make it look like he has a big hand he is considering, but come on, players know you don't always have a big hand Jesus. No shame in getting caught once in a while. He likes to take the same amount of time no matter what because he thinks that makes him harder to read, but what difference does it make if you're folding anyway how long it takes you to fold? He barely ever talks and he takes way too long to act.

Chris Ferguson does not play slowly and deliberately just to pretend like he has a big hand every time or to put on a show and get more TV time. Instead, he goes through exactly the same motions and routine for each hand so that other players can not tell if he has a big hand or rags. Same routine means NO tells based on his motions or movements. His behavior is based on logic, not ego.

WHOS THE BEST----------------------
MIKE "THEMOUTH" MATUSOW

hahaa

daniel negreanu hands down

Scotty Nguyen. The "baby" stuff is cool for like 5 minutes, then I want to punch him. He might be worse than Matusow.

I agree with trooper, its Scotty who is the most annoying guy.

Phil Hellmuth is by far the most annoying thing on televised poker. If imma watching a poker show, it's because I want to watch poker, not prettyboy primadonna flipping out whenever he loses a hand. He's got the talent, but he need to get some personal pride in how he carries himself in public. If he wants to be known for his poker ability, he needs to suck it up and stfu!!

...Chris Ferguson, He plays tight and takes so long to act no matter what the situation ?????

dont agree. and probably was with CF i learned more about to be at a poker table.....

in my opinion it's Daniel N. cause his not only funny but also one of the best poker players in the world and his reads are out of space!!!
Phil Helmuth is also funny due to he is pushing himself every time^^

How can anyone not choose either Humberto Brenes or Hellmuth? Both are unbelievably annoying and I'd find it so so hard to play at a table with either of them on. Can you imagine playing on a table with BOTH of them lol?

i personally hate the nygens,scotty in particular....freddy deeb,general losers like that,and bob stupaek is a charity case.....and whats wrong with the mouth?...did u guys see him in this years world series?he was the bomb man...hes entertaining and plays well (most of the time,anyway)....the magician esfandiari and phil laak are always good for a laugh too...so i guess they would be my favs....laak is irish too....

I get tired of Hellmuth`s crybaby antics too, but I gotta admit it`s entertaining as hell when he blows a fuse. I love watching Sammy Farha, he`ll play any damm two cards, and look real convincing doing it too! I`d love to have that skill.

If I was at a table with Chris Ferguson I think I would be annoyed by his slow and unreadable play. Exactly what he wants.

I gotta go with "the mouth". Hellmuth is just too funny when he's ranting and raving. I just wait to see him go off on someone, because they just took a big part of his stack!

Humberto Brenes hands down. The shark thing is ridiculously annoying and pointless.

It's a toss up between Tony G and a drunk Scotty N

Sucks watching someone like Allan Cunningham who rarely says a word, or Mike Sexton, who should never consider saying a word. Tony G just makes me sick.

The ideal table to watch would be Hellmuth, The Mouth, Negreanu, Ivey, Doyle, Laak, and a naked Vanessa Rousso.

phil hellmuth nearly makes me turn off the tv when i see him in the game, but i keep watching because i know he's getting knocked out sometime soon and that always makes me feel better. lol!

I hate watching Humberto, he just annoys me playing about with his card protector and the way he acts.

Humberto being the one that was swinging his arms acting like a monkey everytime he won a hand then yes i couldnt stand him at all! i was hopin someone would knock him out good lord

but im surprised no one has said Phil Hellmuth omg i hate him. he is the best poker player there is no question but the way he acts when he gets beat just calling people out..calling them names to their face on national tv is terrible! i wish someone would seirously punch him in the freakin face when they beat him..he annoys the crap outta me and tries to bring too much show to the poker room entering with those girls and the uniforms thats so dumb to me! i cannot stand him.

there are by far a few players who are the worst to watch. kahn in the word series last year was awful. helmuth and his whining. brenes and the shark awful. but i do enjoy watching ivey, david williams, and antonius. all 3 great players and proven winners. mostly like their aggressive play and great reads

I cannot stand Greg "Fossilman" Raymer. He's not really in the spotlight anymore, but he drove me crazy!

Tiffany Michelle by tops. Her ridiculous hat, rings, attitude and antics are terrible. Shame on Ultimate Bet for having a rep like her.

If he flashed that light at me, I would be on the plane with you. LOL

Phil F*ckin Hellmuth! No doubt, no competition. He is by far the most annoying, although at the same time is great LOL tv.
