Who is your favorite poker pro?

As the title says, which poker player do you look up to the most, or aspire to be like?

Mine would have to be Guy Laliberte... not such a huge poker player, but he has billions in the bank, and he seems like a really cool guy. He let Beyamine off bigtime in this hand:

  • Does anyone on this forum actually play poker anymore or is this site just for shilling affiliate/rakeback and linking youtube videos?

    First of all, wtf are you talking about? Shilling rakeback and affiliate deals... please explain? I try and do this as little as possible, but it has nothing to do with this thread so why the fuck are you bringing it up now? Sure there are some affiliate things, but unless you want to pay the $250 a month that it requires to run this site, it is necessary. Also, most of the "affiliate deals" that you speak about have been set up in a way to benefit the members of this site. Granted, the auto-linker can be a little annoying and I will work on reducing the amount it links, but that is supposed to be something that happens in the background. As for rakeback, I may have mentioned it in 2 threads, so I think you have a bigger issue. I could put one big paypal donate button, but I guarantee you won't be donating. Is there a problem with linking a video? Honestly you need to get the pickle out your ass cuz all you do is bitch bitch bitch... its pretty sad.

    All I have to say is GET COUNSELLING! I have been paying the hosting out of my own pocket for the last few months so this is really bad timing on a sensitive subject. I really hate to take this approach, and I would never say this to anyone else on the site, but if you don't like it, leave. Stop being such a whiny baby.
  • Hey don't get too concerned about GTA, he has always had that negative approach around here, not sure if he is always like that in real life as well. I'm sure he has no idea of the cost or work involved in maintaining/running a site like this.
    As for favorite poker pro, obviously Daniel Negreanu, since he is the most well known Canadian. Also I have spent quite a bit of time on his FCP site and enjoy it as well. I also really like Antonio Estafardi, he just seems to be a cool laid back kinda guy who always seems to get sucked out on, something that I can relate to....

    gta is always bitching. don't listen to him.

    favorite pro is such a hard question. i like E-Dog, Hansen, Ivey, Huck Seed and a few others. i hate helmuth (for his constant bitching) and negreanu (because he just never shuts up).
  • My favourite would be Phil Ivey. He is one of the first players I remember watching and I think he is an awesome player. Plays every hand like he has pocket aces.

    Don't forget that this site also has advice about what do in the with your gf and a strap-on...
  • Yeah, but keep her away from Coolblue's computer . . .


    Favourite player would have to be Ivey. Sammy Farha comes in second. Love Sammy's whole image. Very "rat-pack", imo. Love it. How good an overall pro he is, who cares?
  • why ty:)

  • ok ok
    kidding aside, obv going with ivey(wait thats meeeeeeeeee), but he more into golf now then poker.

    daniel negreanu as he is laid back, but ya i guess it can be annoying his chatter.

    mr horse champion scottie has a good attitude so throw him in there.
  • SHAME!!! Poor Graham..

    Yes, right after he borrowed Ms. InsaneGuy's strap on.
  • Why would Mark need a strap on? Hmmmmmm. We want to know all about his shortcomings, Kristy . . . :D
  • I dunno, maybe his girl is into 2xP?
  • Hey Graham,
    I'm sure I speak for many when I say that all the hard work you put into the site is much appreciated.
    Oh, and I like Negreanu, Esfandiari, and Farha:)

    I second that!
  • Thank you guys, appreciate that a lot!
  • Basically hate all the celebs, with the exception of Fergusson and maybe Greenstien and Scotty Nguyn. Would rather see the better players like Timex, Sir Watts, David Ross, the guy from Ottawa and a few others win.
  • Danny N. He has great reading skills.
  • I love to see Negreanu win just as much as I like to see Mike Weir win on the PGA. I am also a fan of Lindgren...glad to see him win his first bracelet. I also enjoy watching Eli Elezera on High Stakes Poker.
  • i like mike the mouth,phil hellmuth,ivy,kenny tran,johnny chan,eric lindgrin favorite is probly ivy the jay-z of poker
