Favorite professional poker player and why

[Trillian]

My favorites are Doug Polk and Nathan Williams aka blackrain79. The first because of his history. If you read his very old thread of 2007 on 2+2 "Reaching the end of my rope" and then imagine that this then desperate guy became the best heads up no limit player of the world, you can see how far hard work can bring you in this game.

The second is imho the best teacher for the microstakes, a field that is covered too rarely by teachers and coaches.

I have a problem fathoming why so many people still are so into Daniel "more rake is better" Negreanu. Allthough I like his cheerful and sunny attitude at the felt, he lost me when he betrayed all of us with his BS statement. And I love Polk's response to it.

On a more serious note:

Даниель Нигреану

Даниель Нигреану, он мастер, такое чуство, что он видит сквозь карты и знает, какие карты у его оппонентаи он всегда спокойный, весёлый, любит пошутить, красава.И Том Дван крут Как мастер блефа

I'd have to say Sir Daniel Negreanu.

Man's a genuis lol. Always seems pretty calm, smart, collective, and just solid as hell.

I like Hellmuth a lot but he's the opposite of negreanu on the calm part lol still he's a great player who I've learned a lot from. (Animals) lol

And one of my newer favorites is Johnathan Little. Love the site, even though I'm on the free version lol and his drive.
Especially his calmness.

yep i really like dnegs, and i like jnandez and tom dwan. dwan is so fun to watch and jnandez makes the game look so easy.

 

[fezjones]

i also really like andrew neeme. many famous vloggers strike me as a little more on the entertainer side, and who know if they are actually winning players, but neeme seems to be on another level of wits about the game. definitely a hustler!

 

[marcelo benavidez]

yeap, daniel is for me the best player, its helps his attitude.

 

[nikolaevich87]

certainly they are all cool masters, I think everyone has something to learn, for each player experienced and inexperienced!

Marcin Wydrowski is a great example of the fact that even while living in a country where poker is banned, you can achieve success at large events of international importance.

Daniel Negreanu He's hands down the Best. Plus He's Canadian. Go Team canada. Next Favorite to watch lose Is Phil Helmuth. Hes hilarious when He Gets Beat. Good Luck At The Tables

 

[Klim007]

This is a very good choice for a professional poker pro player. I can also recommend Phil Ivey.

 

[57noona]

I like a lot of them so it's hard to pick just one player. If I had to it would be Phil Hellmuth.
