Who is your poker idol ?? Who is the best player on the world ??
I dont know , it would be nice to know any years earnings from the tables. That would let you know some what. as far as WSOP goes, it would be both Phils up top, Helmuth then Ivey. As far as who is my idol. I dont like the splashy players like Durr,Hanson amd so on. My favs would be Negranue(sp?) and Mcevoy.
Phil Helmuth, because he is so entertaining to watch.
Anyone who cashes often and stays ahead of the rake
kind of a silly question, don't ya think? duhh its meee, TimmysTrappoker
no no no I was only kidding, I believe the best poker player in the world is Michael Sanchez
I hate Phil Helmuth I hope he finished dead last in next years wsop lmao
personally i like daniel nagraneu , i enjoy watching him play cuz i love his style
I'd have to say, in terms of best tournament player in the world, Phil Hellmuth, the whole way.
i am going with daniel nagraneu or however you spell his name, lol. he is my favorite to watch i really like his personality and the way he carries himself at the poker table.
phillip mfing ivey!!!!! who else??? nobody comes close i would take him over any internet wizard anyday... and he didnt have billions of hands to get good he started from the bottom and grinded to the top.. the way it should be
Phil Ivey, he just spews quiet confidence at the table
Stu Unger would be first by a mile. Then, Ivey and Mikey Matusow. I tend to like the train wrecks like Stuey and Mikey, because they are most like me.
Doyle Brunson. Guy will win the WSOP after he passes on, that's how good he is.
Daniel Negraneau is my poker idol but I think that Phil Ivey is a close 2nd and the best player in the world. Daniel is more friendly though but they are both great players.
Actually, I think Tom Dwan is the best player - the only reason he looks at his cards is so the other players will think he cares what he has. He plays the table, not his cards.
His name was Pokey McPokeypoke. He played in the Seven Kingdoms. Awesome.
my idol is michael the grinder mizrachithen i also like phil ivey hellmuth and of course doyle brunson i have a bunch of faves and like them all they are all good in there own ways
I favor "Action Dan" Harrington. Tight, collected, and dangerous as heck.
Probably quite biased, being from the same town as him, as well as seeing him at various events prior to the WSOP successes of his, but I always have a little smirk when I read something about Jonathan Duhamel...
very superstitiiioussss ritings on the walll im naked in my bedddd hell yaaaa baby............... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i said verrry suuupeerrrsitttious wriitings on the wallllll
I dont like the splashy players like Durr,Hanson amd so on. Phil Hellmuth, the whole way. thanks
i prefer players like dwan and negraneu, both take any edge they get and arent afraid to make big calls or bets if they think theyre ahead.
Hands down my poker idol has to me tom dwan. He started from a single $50 dollar deposit online years and years ago and was able to parlay that into being a top regular and contender at the highest of the high stakes games and has been a serious winner even though he is playing the best in the world at the most nose bleed stakes out there. Also he is doing this not only at NL Holdem but also at several other games out there as well and its for those reasons listed above that Tom Dwan hands down is my poker idol and quite possibly the best all around player in the world at this time.
Tom Dwan 'durrr' i need more points, like 15 ;_)
there is really no one they all play the same and it all comes down to luck
ansd i know you guys know its way mostly about luck if you dont have it your toast in this game.
Joseph Cheong, Jason Mercier and Mike Mizrachi are hands down the best tourney players on the planet right now.
clay alken is without a doubt the best player, thinker, I have ever watched... most pro's play the hand ABC style, not this mo fucker.... I love watching his online commentarys on youtube etc.
hes my top favorite as well. His bday is on jan 16... 4 days away from mine.. i wonder if having the same zodiac sign has an effect on the reasons why i think hes a talented player. maybe i can just understand him real well or maybe we aquarians think real similiar
phil hellmuth is my poker idol, he is my inspiratio for success in this game
me obv!!! no i have a friend who deposited 50 on pp bak in tha way day and hes a milly goat these days
I sort of think the poker brat is a great player. Despite his attitude and rants, he seems like someone I would like to get to kno
I think phil ivey is the best poker player out there...there are some really good players but phil ivey is consistent and never seems to tilt....he is very calm and collective... but as for my idol I would say anyone that plays for a living and makes really good money....they are all my idols lol.
doyle brunson is everyones idol.. Im starting to like greg merson also
i am going with daniel nagraneu or however you spell his name, lol. he is my favorite to watch i really like his personality and the way he carries himself at the poker table.
Hellmuth was once the BITW, but has been left behind by the boom in online poker, you cant fault his bracelet count but I feel he now thinks he's better than he actually is.
As for my idol, it has to be Negreanu or even Victor Blom, both for vastly different reasons. Negreanu simply for his reading abilities, and Blom for his aggressive/effective style.
Chris ferguson use to be my idol, when he was able to start at 0 on full tilt and work it up to almot 20,000, it showed me with disclipline you can do it too.
no phil hellmuth is my idol because he is the best
