Howard L. Just seems like a good guy, and smart as hell. I really enjoy watching him play.

It's just plain hard not to respect Greenstein

Same for Gus Hansen and Dan Harrington, but for different reasons.

Watching Hellmuth play is entertaining for like 25 different reasons.

I don't really have anybody I root for beyond 2+2ers, mostly I like watching players who are either good (Harrington) or entertaining (Farha).

#1 - Gus Hansen. He's the player I would least like at my table.

#2 - Phil Ivey. He plays online, and even though he's only 24, he's playing in the 2k/4k games. I guess I'm kind of aspiring to be like him (yes, the odds are stacked against me, i know.)

Hey Zee, you are playing in some of the biggest buy-in SNGs at Party ($200 + $15s) right? i'd say that a good performer in these would constitute a winning player at, say, 30-60 holdem? you'll get there.

Johnny Boom Boom. Fresh out of college and doing the New York City poker circuit. I don't care what Joe Tall says about him.

BOOM BOOM!

man, if he reraises you preflop and you don't get it all in w/QQ, you should be steamed. Remember what one of my favorites always says, "It feels better IN!" But if you follow Mr. Preston's advice and lose to 53o, well...take it like Texas Dolly, T.J. "No More Perm Thank God!" Cloutier, and Ol' Slim. They are my superheroes, the Bugs Bunny to my Daffy.

Now i also love Phil Hellmuth cuz he's a lot more like me & Daffy Duck--but a much better poker player obviously.
