I was wondering who's your favorite poker player to watch? and if you have had the pleasure to play against him/her ?
Mine is Daniel Negréanu , although i would hate to play against him in a serious setting cuz he just talks too much , but what can i say he is so much fun to watch i guess!
I was fortunate to watch Doyle Brunson at a game in the early 90s. He is and will always be my favorite player. I have never had a chance to play him as that day I was a simple Marine Lance Corporal who could not afford the table he was at. He is amazing and much better at understanding the game than almost any player I watch today.
Jonathan Little would be my number 2. He is amazing at making others better while being great at the game. I want to get a chance to play against him so I will have to find where he is once.
The one I find to be amusing, though not a fan of his actual style is Jeff Boski. I want to play him, which is why I am building a bankroll on ACR. He is not to the level of Brunson or Little, but I think he is a good ambassador to the sport.
Many, and I knew this before I opened the thread, talk about Negranieu. I have never been more than a passing fan of his. He is a great ambassador for poker, which gains my respect. That said, people I know who have dealt with him have a few stories that I will not share that make me just shrug at anything about him. Would I play him? Ohh yes I would. He has his weaknesses and I am not in awe of him. Then again, I am not in awe of many of the players today. Any person can win, some by sheer dumb luck. It is about wanting to experience what you can do, not what others can.
