Title: Who is your favourite....
Post by: Scottish Dave on August 09, 2005, 01:55:31 PM
Who is your favourite...."professional" poker player, currently playing today?

when i say professional, i mean, they solely play poker for a living (house hold poker names etc)

and reason for your admiration?

Mine has got to be Phil Ivey...clearly the man/boy is just fearless, he is only 27!

Please add yours below?

I think yous are missing the point here, i saud house hold name.

Is it just me or is there an unbreakable bias towards BRITS (I shiver just typing that) on this board?

Ivey for the sheer class at the table

Gus Hansen. I know it's obvious but i am jealous of his ridiculous aggressive style. To have the cahunas to play like that again again again is amazing.

(the best players are the most aggresive players).

unfortunately this has meant he is, uh, ridiculously short of the readies........... ::)

gus hansen is short of a few quid? Where did you hear that?


Title: Re: Who is your favourite....
Post by: TightEnd on August 10, 2005, 01:04:33 PM
widely rumoured, obviously I have no corroboration!


Title: Re: Who is your favourite....
Post by: Robert HM on August 10, 2005, 02:29:13 PM
I heard the rumour as well, so it must be right  ;D

Apparantly he lost wads of folding stuff in very, very (etc etc ) high stakes stuff in the lead up to and during the WSOP.

He did lose a shed load, but the 2 weeks after the WSOP he went on a rush in the 4k-8k game and won a fair bit back.

As PLAYERS?

Dave Colclough. I  know, I'm his partner in blonde, da de da de da, but I thought that before I was involved in blonde with him.

Marcel. LOVE his game, & his personna.

Shipley.

Raymer.

As "people", off the table.

Dave.

John Gale.

Actually, I don't know why I am replying to this - there are far too many to mention.

Does The Boy Thewy qualify as a "household name" in your mind? If so, add him to both lists.
