I think Tiffany Williamson will soon be more disliked, unless ESPN avoids showing her sloooooow play.

[Greg (FossilMan)]

Of people who are involved in the poker world, Dutch is probably #1 on the hate list, because of his thievery.

However, amongst the general public who only know what they see on TV, Matusow probably is the correct answer. Certainly, if anybody says anything negative about another player to me, they only mention Mike or Josh Arieh. Of course, I would not expect other well known players to hear about those two anywhere near as much as I do. So, I don't know about whom people talk negatively when they run into Jesus in the airport, or Phil Hellmuth at the grocery store, but I can't imagine who else besides Mike would get more mention. While Mike is a very entertaining person, and really does not mean to hurt anybody, he comes across very poorly on TV, and at this point in time plays into that persona because it buys him camera time. Thus, he should expect to be hated much more than liked by the general public.

Personally, I'm getting sick of the nerdy guy with the stupid sunglasses. He's everywhere! Commercials, WSOP reruns....
