Who are your 3 favorite poker players and why??? If possible, make a detail.

For example my ranking is:

1st. Phil Hellmuth: A great game analysis player. In a tournament he is truly fearsome. He would be the player I least wanted to play at a tournament table with. The point against him is that he is very horny, although I think it is also part of his show. NOT for nothing he has 16 bracelets won. A monster.

2nd. Daniel Negreanu: From kid poker he is the son-in-law that any father would like to have for his daughter. He recreates any table, as well as being a great game analyst. If I would be at a table with Negreanu I would have a lot of fun, but beware that he also uses his sympathy a lot to study the rivals in question.

3rd. Joe Hachem: He was an anonym until he won the 2005 world series. At that time in my country argentina I had the opportunity to see the tournament on a cable TV signal and I was really delighted with his game. A player with many variants, he plays very steady both when he has good hands and when he bluffs as well as having a very good control of when to fold. A very complete player

Interesting choice of words, I didn't think he was such a monster.

Hello brother
Thanks for your nice answer.
Here in Argentina we call someone very big, or very successful in what he does, "a monster".
For example Messi or Maradona or Pele, Michael Jordan, Muhamad Ali, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer etc for us they would be "monsters" hahahaha
A big hug

Negreanu cos he's a genius, Tony G cos he's funny, Stu Ungar because he is the GOAT

Hello brother
I agree with you, Tony G also makes Phil very angry hahahaha they put on a nice show
I didn't know Stu's story, what a pity that he died so young. From what you can see he was a great player although later in his life it seems that the compulsiveness of the game took him to such a high level of adrenaline that it cost him his life. What a great loss for poker lovers

Zoobeast and MyIQis55 are my 2 major influences (they both play on the Chico network).

They are both "monsters" and are both perfect model players for consistent income from online poker.

I look up to both these players and have learned much from playing with them.

Hello brother
First of all thank you very much for your answer.
In truth, I did not know these players to whom you refer, it is more when I referred to the best players it was for the so-called television or live players.
I think that in online poker there are a lot of players with a very good style and it is even more so if you have had the opportunity to play with them you really learn a lot.
Oddly enough, in particular, I see online poker as very similar to playing live, what's more, there are many online players who reach very good positions and even win important live events.
I think that many experienced players often underestimate new players who play online and are going to play live tables for the 1st time, but these have shown them that they have come a long way.
It is my humble opinion, and I thank you for sharing the online players of your choice so I can search and follow them to continue learning from this exciting game.

Daniel Negreanu. Because he is just very popular and famous poker player and my poker way started with one of shows with him.
Mike McDonald. Because sometimes his face during the game is really "poker-face". No emotions. I like this and i would like to have this skill too.
And Nikolay Pobol. Man who twice won Main Event EPT. And he is from Belarus like me.

1. Daniel Negreanu. Watching him play the World Series and the European Poker Tour, I became interested in playing poker, I watched him play and always wanted to grow to the same level of play.
2. Phil Ivey. I also watched him play, watched a lot of videos, learned from his hands, and I liked how he read the game and his opponents.
3. Gus Hansen. His playstyle and composure, so unusual over the years, watched his games with interest and eagerness to learn.

Look, I didn't put Phil Ivey in the top 3 because he really is my idol. As you say, he has a very good reading of the game and his pulse doesn't tremble when it comes to betting. He has a temperate aggressiveness and is not shaky when it comes to folding if necessary.
As for Gus, I had really forgotten about him, because there are so many great players that it is often difficult to choose or make the right choice. What makes me sick about poor Gus, many times he has so much bad luck in his moves that sometimes I think...how is this poor man still playing poker!!! hahahaha great player
Another one that I follow and I like a lot is Jason Mercier, his gestures, when he loses he greets everyone at the table, it's not much to get angry, I really like him a lot too

Well with Daniel aka Kid Poker we almost all agree hahaha
Mc Donald has a very aggressive style, I like it, although that bad boy face that he puts on when he plays hahaha and many took their time, they are not so afraid of him
As for Makalai, uuufff, a very nice player, your compatriot is undoubtedly one of my favorites, although I would not like to face him at a table because he has the face of a serial killer, hahahaha, he gives me some fear. A joke, he is a great player and a great person, I understand.
