phil hellmuth is a funny guy. i like his on youtube where he goes on tilt and busts. probably his poker tips are not very up-to-date and his playing-style is more kind of the "feeling player".

for your question of what type of player i am: depends very much on what kind of table i sit.;)

The Eagle: The eagle is a bird in extinction and it may be that you never touch view any of them at the poker tables, because it is one of the best 100 players in the world. You are going to find the eagle in the high stakes tables. Flies and notes and then falls over to eat all your chips for a snack when you are hungry.
Practice the observation, logic and reasoning when you play, pay attention to what your opponents, after 3 or 4 rounds, you're going to have information available on their lifestyles and you'll be able to take the shotgun, remembers being the hunter, not the hunted.

Interesting question and it is difficult for me to answer specifically. Depending on the situation, I think my roles are constantly changing.

Hello.
I do not associate myself with animals. I consider myself a beginner, with good potential. :D

Not if you keep shoving 2.5K chips into a 45 chip pot on the river, very very early in a tournament like you did today, look up what a "Value Bet" is, then you may have good potential. ;)

I'm a Jackal playing to many free rolls between the days business. I spent years as a vegetarian but would like to become a Lion.

I think my type changes depending on the circumstances. Usually, my type is something in between the mouse and the lion. But sometimes I can be a big pig.

PS - you can take the quiz so you can see which 'animal' your play suggests you are.

according to a test i took, i'm an eagle. but i think we can all agree that's a lie and the test was probably rigged.

i'd probably classify myself as an amoeba of the poker world.

I play like a mouse near the bubble or a lion with the chip lead. Otherwise strive to be an eagle but not getting there.

I can be any of those animals to compare when I play, it all depends on my hand, the position, my chips and the opponents I face. The closest to my style of play is León's.:ciao:

hahhaa I have the DVD where he explains the poker animals..good stuff. I mean, for the time, it made perfect sense! And it worked for him, hell the dude has 20 million and won many championships, and is respected at any casino he walks into (even though his brat act is clearly an act) he loves the game and has some logic to his idea.

BTW I am looking to give my DVDS I will never watch again for free (bought them all super cheap off eBay) to whoever has that much free time to watch lol..a lot of the info is outdated, but a lot is just entertaining as hell, the only thing I ask is if you are done watching them all, you send them/ship or give them to someone else that wants to learn poker. I have about 10dvds that, many are outdated, but will ship for free to whoever cares to watch them haha ..I will ship slow media mail..but last time I tried to ship media mail it was ransacked by a postal employee (bunch of old music cds) So..doubtful it would even arrive. DM me if you really care to watch them lol

The Daniel Negrueanu dvd is really good and the all in movie is fantastic, you can watch that on prime which I highly recommend.

Didn’t even watch the blackjack dvd, too busy to bother with gambling crapola, use as a coaster once you get it :)

Before, it was an elephant that only made call and never raised. With time and practice I learned to play more aggressive, climb and raise constantly. I think I am on the right track to become an eagle, although I need to adjust some details that will make me a winning player. I hope to fly soon and be recognized for an aggressive and efficient game.

phill hasn't adjusted to the way poker is being played in this generation

I play like a mouse near the bubble or a lion with the chip lead. Otherwise strive to be an eagle but not getting there.

the most unpredictable animal is an elephant:D
