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.

Daniel Negreanu is a good and professional player for me, I like his playing style and since he behaves at the gaming table, he is always cheerful and can cheer up the whole table, and I also like the female player Liv Boeree - but I like her just like a woman not as a player

In the present time my most favorite professional poker player is Daniel " jungleman12" Cates: his last superhero fold against Paul Phua at the Poker Triton Tournament confirmed this one more time. The BEAST INTUITION!..:cool::cool::cool:

My favorite poker player is Tony G. It's entertaining watching him insulting other players. Tony G making fun of Phil Hellmuth is very funny to watch.

Christopher Philip Ferguson. Born back in 1963. Christopher started playing poker at the age of 10. The idols from which Chris copied his style of play were the best poker players of the time. The College was followed by a game on play chips via IRC. In 1994 he took part in the local California tournament for the first time. The following year he participated in the World series. After another 5 years won the main victory in the WS tournament and received two wsop bracelets.
In 2004, he became an active participant in the launch of the full tilt poker project. He is still a member of the eponymous team. In the period from 2005 to 2006 he became a silver medalist of 1 on 1 tournaments. He won this tournament in 2008. Despite his pronounced atheism, poker players nicknamed Chris "Jesus" for his appearance.

Mine is Vanessa Selbst. Pure poker beast very aggressive at the point where if she did not have that deep analysis of opponents ranges it will look wreckless.

Love all the players who have big mouths and talk a lot! Even the annoying ones! Helmuth calling people idiots while getting dumped out of tournaments is a personal favourite. Love the Isildur1 story, the idea of some newbie coming along and smashing the nosebleed tables is epic. Tom Dwan for such aggressive play.

First and foremost, I think the coolest player in recent times is Ole Schemion- swag to the max.


In terms of great demeanors, I like the style of two pretty chilled guys, Steffen Sontheimer as a European and Jake Schindler as an American. Both appear always in control of their game - seldom putting a foot wrong, seldom if ever making a silly or speculative play.

Daniel Negreanu. I already wrote a lot about this, he knows everything in poker, he controls the game, he knows how to bluff and play carefully, if necessary. I often watched his games on TV and I liked his behavior at the table and his attitude to other players.

the best Daniel Negreanu: We are probably facing the best poker player in the world in tournament mode. Noted for his great reading ability, he already accumulates some 15 million in prizes.the worst Gas Hansen, too talkative

I think you can learn a lot from various Players - my fav 3 are Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey and obviously DNegs. I also do like Patrick Antonius!

Phil & Daniel have Incredible reads on their opponents, their metagame is on a completely different Level, it's like they are not only playing with the Cards, but taking in all the scenary around them. Nevertheless, both have a different Approach as to how they Play. Daniel likes to be prepared and set his "personal" Limits beforehands (which hands do I call / raise / re-raise preflop? which Hands do I fold?), meanwhile Phil is a much more chill guy who prefers to Play without preset personal limits and to decide how to Play from Moment to Moment.

Tom's style is unique as well - I like what he said during one live game - "from folding you don't win any Money". Of Course, this is risky and obviously he's lost some games. But i think you Need also to take the Risk sometimes and let your opponents now that they should be scared of you, regardless if the flop Comes AKQ or 27Q.

Ivey for his composure, mannerisms and balls. Negreanu for his demeanor, reading ability and the entertainment factor.

Chris Ferguson, Daniel Negreanu.

When I started playing poker, the advice I got on FullTilt from Chris Ferguson articles helped me a lot, now I see a lot of the videos from Daniel Negreanu's YouTube channel.
