Daniel Negreanu - Because of how awesome he is taking bad beats and even getting trolled on once in a while. His attitude during bad runs is something I want to develop.
Doyle Brunson - Nothing seems to faze this seasoned veteran. Like the time Daniel Negreanu correctly read Doyle on a set of 3s on a flop from a televised high stakes poker game and he used it to his advantage for value. Wow! Masterclass
Phil Helmuth - Yes, he whines and his ego is probably unmatched but he makes the toughest folds time after time in tournament poker (even while whining about it and later blowing up). Despite how high his emotions run that doesn't seems to get in the way of making the correct play as often as us it does for us mere mortals.
Phil Laak - Because he's crazy! He's eccentric and doesn't take himself too seriously! How he does that is nuts! He's an awesome guy to have at the poker table it seems.
Scott Siever - For his table talk. He's does a really good job sizing up play from his table talk, without getting on anyone's nerves. Keeps everyone entertained.
Negreanu , Ivey , Helmuth most of all , are the big names I am fan more and that they inspired me to play , I might forget some names now . Also Devilfish
I'm interested in watching the playing of my compatriot Vladimir Troyanovsky and the play of Eugene Kachalov from Ukraine, but for some reason the latter was rarely seen
Tom Dwan is my favorite poker player, I just love his play style and the way he manages to out bluff people on his table. Although his career is at a pause (according to some of his friends like Lex Veldhuis apaprently he wont be coming back to the professional poker scene which I totally respect), lot's of other legends out there though like Daniel Negreanu/Phil Ivey/Antonio Esfandiari etc.
I watched more than one video with the recording of the game Negreanu and even a documentary about his poker career. I like his behavior at the table. A little bit of humor and simple chatter is always lacking at the poker table to relieve excess tension. He's good at it.
