Title: Who is your favorite Poker Player?
Post by: memehunter on March 26, 2025, 10:56:00 PM
My favorite poker player is Phill Helmuth Jr. I really like the disciplined style of his. IMO media has wrongly portrayed him as a crybaby. He is always well-behaved at the tables. His record of most WSOP bracelets speaks for itself.
Who is your favorite poker player? and why do you like him/her?

Is he not? Or would you rather call him a sore loser? Nobody can take away what he has achieved in poker but it's his actions after some bad beats that made people call him that. Anyway, that's still way better than cheating I guess (like Ivey - allegedly).

For my favorite, I don't really have one but I like the tough characters that some players are portraying. It's fun to watch.

HAHA,
You are right, but categorizing Phil Ivey in such a manner would be too judgmental (although I agree with the proposition lol).
Any way it seems you are interested in poker as a sport. Feel free to check my signature here  ;D

Wrongly? Seriously?
I believe there are multiple video compilations of Phil's meltdowns. He was well behaved until things were not going his way.
I've got nothing against him though. He would always bring some entertainment.

I had only a short period in my life when I was following professional poker, so not very familiar with all the big names, but I'd say Daniel Negreanu would be high on my list. A level-headed guy with good analytical skills and a good sense of humour.
