Sammy Farha - old school gambling man.When I watch him I see from where poker developed.
One of the gratest moments when he got cold deck in HSP season 2 i think, agains greenstein.He is on KK
Greenstein AAJust before the flop - Im the favorite like always!
aNd he got K on flop. Then he offered grenstein to run it twice.He turned to Sheiky and said You gotta gamble to win!!
Sammy is the man!!!!!
Sammi and Eli Elezra on the same table is always great fun to watch ♦
And the best poker commentators imo. Those guys are so funny. HSP season 1 & 2 were the nuts! Season 5 is coming ...
On a related note I don't get why people rate Negreanu's reading ability so highly. IMO he only seems to get more good reads than other players because he likes to guess every hand loudly... the vast majority of the time he's off by a mile and ends up making some stupid calls. I can name 3 players off the top of my head whom I consider to have much better instinct than Negreanu: Esfandiari, Cunningham, and Ted Forrest.
Idols: Stu Ungar, Chip Reese, Doyle Brunson.
The ones i really like: Barry Greenstein, Tony G, Phil Hellmuth, Dan Harrington, Johnny Chan.
Dislike: Jamie Gold, Phil Laak, Tom Dwan these makes me tilt just from watching at them.
And i agree with nafar84.
I like a lot of different players for different reasons.
I like Hansen because I have no idea what the hell he's doing.
Hellmuth is a goof but 11 bracelets have to mean something.
Ungar would have crushed everyone had he not been Ungar.
Barry Greenstein because he has the attitude I wish more celebrities/athletes had.
My All Time Fav Has to Be Daniel "KidPoker" Negrenau
This was the first poker book i ever read..and his thought process is pretty solid, also because he learnt how to play poker in dingey saloon kinda joints against older guys i like to think i cacn model myself on him - and hopefully one day be as good ♦
there is a reason why commentators are saying - "Daniel Negreanu could tell me what I had for breakfast last Tuesday"
[x] Thread revival!!!
Lol i like quite a few. Daniel Negreanu has to be one of my favourites though lol. Only because of HSP tho ;).
I heard someone say that they disliked Tom "durrrr" Dwan. I dont mind him, i think hes a very good player. Probably the best on the internet right now. Also his cockyness is so funny. I remember watching somethin over here in england and him going: "Ive never sat at a table were i feel someones better than me. Im feel im always the best." I was just like wow. That guys got balls! Then he issued the challenge!!
Ummm i like Sammy Farha as well, he is funny.
Jennifer Harman has to be fav female.
IngolPoker ranks somewhere on my list as well ♦ ![]()
Phil Laak is good, funny. I like him.
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow is like Tom Dwan without the skills or $$$ ♦
Johnny Chan because he is just the nuts!
Thats about it lol. Good list i think
Barry Greenstein!! A great personality and overall an excellent poker player.
Gus Hansen: The MadMan another excellent poker player, you don't know what the hell he's going to do next
Negreanu has a nice attitude, although i'm not really a big fan of him
And Helmuth is a piece of trash i don't respect him a single bit
Gus Hansen. I know his loose playing gets shunned by some people, but it works out for him when he gets great cards.
Daniel Negreanu. Amazing reads.
Daniel Negreanu, love him ♦ ! Phil Hellmuth is really funny when he gets frustrated
...
JC tran or Ivey i like and i also like Hellmuth he is abit of a loser but he plays a very good game i hate dwan think he should stop having a 50% bet frequency all the time FOLD GOD DAM IT
My role model : Chris Furgerson
Best poker face : Phil Ivey
Best entertainer : Phil Hellmuth
Best card reader : Danial Negreanu
Donkey : Jamie Gold
Best Gambler : Sammy Farha
The man : Stu Ungar
One player I forgot to mention is Huck Seed. He's just the coolest poker player ever... love his laid-back, don't-give-a-fuck attitude ♦
Ivey - the complete player
Devilfish - great reads, great bullying, great lay downs, top table talk.
Neil Channing - best poker player in Europe right now
Daniel Negreanu - quality
John Tabatabai - young aggressive but knows when to slow down
Over-rated -
Tom Dwan, Annette Obrestad, ultra aggressive dont know when to stop.
TONY G IS THE WORST ''Get on ya bike'' STOP SAYING THAT! He makes some weird calls
