I really like Negreanu's charisma, however my reference in poker is Phil Hellmuth, a guy with a great personality, very funny and charismatic and lethal at a poker table... there's a reason he has won 17 bracelets

Who is your poker idol and why do you admire him?
Tom Dwan. When He started playing it was a unique playstyle, He was actually the first with oversized bets which gave him a certain image to this day and to this day he takes advantage of it.
Streaming the PLO Game of the Triton Series right now and Tom is in the final 7 :)

Cool, I know little about Phil Hellmuth but I saw a controversial video of a game against Eric Persson, where initially he seemed to have attitudes that caused some discomfort, including having many negative comments about him on YouTube, so I believe I absorbed that impression, it seems like he's one of those players that you either admire or hate, but he also has a legion of fans, maybe I've only seen a few videos about him, so I don't have an opinion about Phill, just a bad impression about him because of this situation.

my player who is always in my mind and I admire him a lot is adrian mateos, he is a great player and his perseverance in the big tournaments and for many years has made me understand that it is possible to reach that level with a lot of work.

Nobody is perfect, as you say... you admire Phill or you hate him

Hi :)
Jason Mercier is my favorite player. He has an impressive record and I think he is one of the best in the history of poker.
Good luck :)

Maybe it will be banal, but I really like Daniel Negreanu, I really like his style of play, his emotions and his behavior at the table!

I would like to have such an emotional state as he has.

Have a nice day everyone, stay happy :)

The first player I learned about is Daniel Negreanu. I was amazed by the number of titles he had and how he read his opponents' cards.

Doyle Brunson: Known as the "Godfather of Poker," Doyle Brunson is a true icon in the poker world. He's admired for his longevity in the game, his two world series of poker Main Event wins, and his influential poker books like "Super System."

I really like Daniel Negreanu, not only for his skills at the tables, but also for being a charismatic person. His ability to entertain the public and explain the game is incredible to me.

Sia The Bot is really cute, but I much prefer Phil Ivey's playing style.

As a Canadian. I'm a big fan of Danlien N. Maybe not the best at this time, but always an inspiration.
