When watching pros play poker, I guess I can't help but admire the way they play, but there are a few players that actually stick out to me. They would have to be (in this order): Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, and Phill Hellmuth. And yeah yeah, I know. Why Phill Hellmuth? He's a GREAT player, but when he loses its fun watching his reaction. Sounds bad, but hey, I enjoy it. All myother favorite pros just make amazing decisions. How about you guys? Who are your favorite players? If just in case you guys play Full Tilt, my name is Nigguh_Pino in game. I'll play a hand or two with you=).

Something strange? Like what? People have told me that the scripting for online games is messed up but I don't believe it. Can you explain yourself a little more?

I like Phil Hellmuth because he is always trying to get under the other players skin by talking to them and bad mouthing them.

Very valid reasoning. That's also why I enjoy watching him. I just don't like how he allows his emotions to take control of his game and he starts to play "tilted" and starts messing up his game and making careless mistakes that he wouldn't normally make. Other than that, his strategy and game play is pretty good.
But everyone knows that A LOOOOT of poker pros do not like how he plays or his attitude, but Phil doesn't let it get to him since he's still going to rack in a good income.

My dad's favorite player is Daniel Negranu(sp?). I like him, but my favorite is Mike "The Mouth" Matasow. His nickname says it all. He is a great player and, like Hellmuth, trys to get under the skin of the other players to get them to lose or fold or whatever. He also kinda has his own language when he's playing.
I like watching Phill Hellmuth's reactions too, but because of his attitude, I don't really like him. I was watching the other day and watched him cry on his mom's shoulder when he lost. I mean that litterally too. He cried. That's a little immature. He's not called a poker brat for nothing though.
I also like the living legend, Doyal Brunson. He is a poker legend and even though I haven't seen him at a final table lately, he is still a great player.
