I personally cant stand Phil Hellmuth. He just seems like a weasel, although hes done quite a bit on the tables.

Mike Matusow, because I've seen him crumble in so many spots when he was ahead. To be honest I don't pay attention to pros all that much.

I'm sure Phil Helmuth's antics these days are tongue in cheek and done for the viewers,hes like the John McEnroe of poker.

I really like Daniel Negreanu, he provide amazing game and skills are incredible. He is the most complete poker player in the world in my opinion. He is one of the best reader's and one of the best sizing player. Hes online earnings are still on the top!
Good luck Daniel Negreanu, wish you all the best buddy!

It was supposed to be the least favorite, but I also like DN and I appreciate your positive attitude, I should have probably gone that route anyway

Yeah I'm sure your right, its for show.

I dont really follow them, I just saw a video of old Phil whining about a bet he made and tried to get back after he threw the chips in so I felt compelled to make the thread to see if there were any other "bad guy" type players people loved to hate.

Just in case some people didn't see, the thread asks who your LEAST favorite poker pro.

Off the top of my head:
Andrew Black
Erick Lindgren
Jamie Gold
Max Steinberg
Jeff Lisandro
Greg Raymer

There is a bunch more for sure, these are just a few who come to mind. Their table personalities annoy me.

I have never liked watching Tom Dwan on TV --- made me nervous to watch him - I can't imagine what it would be like to play at his table...

I beat Raymer this past Monday... heads up with him lasted only about 7 hands.

I enjoyed his table presence... he was up for posing with me when I got knocked off his table.

Hi.
My favorite professional player is Jason Mercier. His style of play is most impressive to me.
Good luck.

Hello.
Olivia "Liv" Boeree is my favorite poker player. I like the successes she has achieved. It deserves respect.

I find Mike Matusow quite annoying, he seems to always be complaining that he never gets good cards, good flops etc..

I had the same opinion, thinking that he uses tons of TV time for self promotion. However I have seen a podcast between Doug Polk and PH jr. and I have to say he doesn't seem that "weaselly". He said that it is the crew that makes the show who only let people see when he explodes and curses and calls people names, but they never show when he congratulates someone on winning, or being cool when he wins himself.

On the other hand, I have started to really hate seeing Doug Polk. Too much talk about rake and stuff, not to mention the continuous beef with DNeg is really annoying. It seems to me that he kinda gave up on poker, and is using it only for promotion and expressing some personal beliefs.

I could see that every TV show does it to get more viewers by having "shocking" content. I really don't hate anyone, I may dislike you but unless you're being a total jerk I'd still grab a drink after the games over and your moneys in my pocket lol.

Doyle Brunson is by far my least favorite poker player. All of his cheesy clichés have taken a toll on me. "Lucks just the door. Ya gotta shneak in through the winder. That's poker folk."
