HollywoodAFD 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Who's your favorite pros and why?Mine:1) Phil Ivey -- Seems like a real classy guy. Not real hard to read and doesn't seem too reckless. He does this thing with his eyes when he has a big hand. Almost looks like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.2) Daniel Negreanu -- Would be fun to have him at a table. Talks too much for his own good at times...but would be interesting.3) Phil Hellmuth -- just love to watch him cry. I understand most of his complaining-- there's nothing more frustrating than playing your hand right and having an amateur call you when he shouldn't and then river out. But I love to see him cry.4) Mike the mouth -- another one that's fun to watch. Probably the one I would least like to play against. Not because of the intimidation of his mouth... but he's a very dangerous and reckless player. Not an easy read at all.5) Annie Duke -- in my opinion the best female player. Very hard to read...very methodical. But I would love to play against her.Those are my top 5.... who are yours? Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Id like to play 3 handed with Eskimo and Vinnie Vinh. The aroma would be excellent, and its also fun playing while one of the players can drop dead at any second. What an adrenaline rush!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 1. Daniel Negreanu cause he's really good and the charter membership thing2. David Grey cause old jewish guys are always the funniest people3. Lane Flack before he got the teeth implants, now I can't take him serious4. Jen Harmon cause she's way too cute and sweet and cute5. Doyle cause he plays the role of elder statesman for the game well6. Christ Moneymaker cause I like John Daly7. Phil Ivey cause he was sitting next to the handicap dude at a final table and would stack his chips for him and he's Phil Ivey and didn't see any problem with helping a guy out. And he gives away every hand with his eyes and I can't believe no other player has noticed this and felted him completely so when I have a big enough bankroll I will be able to play him and win all the money really fast since he gives away the strength of his hand so easy.8.

psujohn 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 In terms of poker ability and overall likabilityBG - one of the smartest, most well spoken guys playing the game. Looks like he's about 105 years old in real life though. Jen Harman - for all the reasons BG (the other BG) said plus she's really cuteKirk Morrison - seems like an easy guy to spend time withWassicka - respect his game a lot and also seems like a really good guyAs far as fun to watch on TVEli, Sammy - for wild reckless abandonHellmuth, Matusow - for pure comedy stylingsScotty - you call it gonna be all over, babyAs for who I'd like sitting across the table from meLance Funston - Mr. I'll raise you two purple + two orange, and btw does three of a kind beat two pairTiffany Williamson - KJo is a monster and I'm not sure I can lay it downHellmuth - because he'll let me bluff him 3000 times waiting to set a trap and whine like a baby when I bust him Link to post Share on other sites

PrtyPSux 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 meh I started to make a list then I realized I wouldnt finish...There are a ton of cool dudes in poker....A lot of them aren't that well known to the general public like Steve Sung, Danny Wong, and most of my other friends that aren't extremely well known are good guys. I never like having ANY pro at my table but if I think of people who I've enjoyed playing with it's usually talkative dudes who don't go nuts on bad beats or take sht too seriously. Bill Edler, Kirk, Shaniac, Tmay, Shannon Shorr, Kenna James, Imperium, Apestyles (and a ton of other online players) Dave Daneshgar, Sebok, Gavin Smith, are just the first names that popped in my head, there are a ton more. If I had to name my two favorite pro's I've ever gotten to play with it would be Barry and Doyle. Barry is the nuts, the dude talks about everything super openly and gets into a lot of conversations at the table. I also sat to Doyle's immediate right and I was in awe. He didn't acknowledge me too much which is obv understandable but when he did he was super nice, the sick thing is that if you're at his table long enough you'll get to hear some awesome stories, if he speaks you should definitely listen. Same goes for Barry. Link to post Share on other sites
