Itg sounds like your asking tournament superstars as everybody is picking tourney guys. So for tournaments i will say Phil Ivey, Layne Flack, Eric Seidel. Honerable mention Eric Lindgren, Freddy Deeb(nobody ever mentions him but he seems to always be there in big nl events usually for 2nd or 3rd). I don't know what he does but he does somthing right. He doesn't seem very likeable though. But you can't deny his results.

I like Phil Hellmuth & Gus Hansen. Both of these players have the ability to read others incredibly well. Phil's special is making huge laydowns (usually the right ones) and Gus' is making huge calls with little (again, he's usually ahead or has odds to do so, most other players just don't follow through).

He has to be a little likeable--his ex-wives are always in the audience when he makes the final table.

I did mean tourney players who are "super stars"--not strictly Poker Superstars--sorry.

Also, can I change my vote to Gabe Kaplan, too?

Negreanu, Hansen, Flack, Unger, Esfandiari and even Tuan Le. Anybody who wins with unorthodox LAGgy play, and mediocre hole cards. Their style is similar to mine, so these are the guys I try to learn from.

Barry Greensteins...He was a computer/math wizard and when his wife and daughter became very ill he confidently told his insurance company that he'd pay his own way. Thus playing highstakes poker fulltime!
