As poker hit the mainstream harder than ever in 2010, we saw an influx of televised poker bringing more big names to your nearest screen. Some players brought entertainment and a certain pizzaz to the tables, some were duller than dishwater.
Who do you like to watch the most? Let us know in our last weekly vote of 2010.
hard choice. It's very fun to see Tony G needle Phil helmuth. But my vote goes to Tom Dwan. Really world class player even when he loses hundred thousands of dollars due to a suckout he'll say "nh"
Tony G is always entertaining to watch, but my vote will go to Tom Dwan, only just ahead of Phil Ivey.
Phil Hellmuth, if he is on TV someone starts needling him and he barks back and it is fun even if there is not much poker action, this guy is aware what is good for TV and he plays his "Poker Brat" role perfectly. Judging by his last appearances he is changing his play style and mixes it up, so he can't be accused of being "dinosaur".
More ore less decent play + showmanship = gg.
Players like Helmouth and Tony G i funny to watch but its not because of their play. Players like Dwan, Ivey, Galfond and Antonius are funny to watch because they are some of the best players in the world, and they make some fantastic calls and laydowns.
I would like to see Galfond play in the big shows instead of players like Helmouth that just brags all the time because he loose.
scott seiver. scott seiver is awesome. especially when coupled with negreanu. in the same vein: lex veldhuis (i just love the big game).
proof (watch from about 2:30):
Oh yea, Farha FTW, plays laggy and has this cool gamblers table image as opposed to durrrrs "awkward homosexual alien nerd" image.

Oh yeah, he's got some great lines. ♦ Like "I have never seen a guy squeeze after he announces that this is a good spot to squeeze in 15 years of playing cards" or "I'm gonna straddle, as long as i'm not the first one to do it".
If you add Esfandiari, maybe even put them in consecutive seats the show is deffo gonna be fun!
