The Official "MY FAVORITE PRO POKER PLAYER(S)" Thread

[Sully]

I was a pretty big fan of Gus Hansen, but I've grown awfully sick of his girly t-shirts and flexed bicep. He seems awfully impressed with himself.

My guys are: Phil Ivey, Sam Grizzle, and Sammy Farha

[John Tesh]

If I could buy Sam Farha for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth I would make a fortune.

This guy isn't half as good a player as he believes he is.

Gotta be Grizzle. And, I bet he'd be alot of fun to have a beer with after the game.

High-stakes gambling pros

This is hard

Favorites:
Phil Ivey (hes young, and changes gears better then any1, but never seen a more unlucky player seems to always be ahead in a hand till the river)

Doyle (Super System all i need to say)

Scotty Nyguen (hes got balls never afriad to make a move)

Gus Haneson (smart mathematical player whose still willing to gamble given the right pot odds)

Hellmuth (I love his complaining almost as much as his great reading ability,plus hes got 9 bracelets)

Doyle Brunson: An icon. One of the most prolific figures in the game, regardless of how he holds up against other pros at the table. A delegate of the old school, but also the godfather of the Poker Pedagogy movement.

Bob Ciaffone: My personal favorite author. A fine teacher.

Daniel Negreanu: A good poker role-model. Excellent all-around skills, demonstrates a good mind for the game, and seems to be a decent guy (although I've never met him).

Gus Hansen: IMO, one of the most intimidating NL tourney players I've seen. In NL tourneys, unpredictability is key; he nails it.

Two guys I met and played with on the PPMIII cruise. Scotty Nguyen and Daniel Negreanu. Great players and very friendly guys.

[Bob T.]

I can second that, they were fun to play with, and gracious with their time.
