Title: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: DaveShoelace on August 28, 2007, 05:21:14 PM Ok, we started this on the High Stakes Poker thread but lets give it its own dicussion. Who, out of the well known pros, is the hardest poker player?
My initial musings include: Hellmuth - total weiner but is huge and must have a decent punch to have got away with acting like a nob to so many for so long Surinder Sunar - Black Belt in Karate, I think Gavin Smith - just a weight advantage really Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: kinboshi on August 28, 2007, 05:22:07 PM Flushy - he'd chop you in half....

Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: Sark79 on August 28, 2007, 05:30:21 PM I am not sure of his name, he played a pot on LNP years ago with Helmuth . Helmuth complained that he did not have him covered. French guy? On first sight he may seem unfit, slightly slow and ageing, however he looks like he could have handled himself well a few years ago in a bar fight . It is always the guys who seem non threatening( sp? ) who are the dangerous ones.
Apart from him, perhaps Lindgren .

Not sure of his name either but i remember it, I think Korosh was in the hand aswel. I think the French blokes nickname is "le dangerous" or something. I'd say Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi can look after himself and Martin Wendt looks like a tough nut...I reckon Jeff Lisandro packs a punch. Pity it didnt happen during the World Series!

Robert Cohen He threw Helmuth because Helmuth's mind games didn't work as Cohen spoke in French and claimed he couldn't understand English Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: Tonji on August 28, 2007, 06:48:33 PM Chris Ferguson is a Ninja Warrior

There's always one who brings down the thread down into the gutter!! normally its me but for once i'm quite willing to let a lady take responsibility for this one............ unless its cold and we're talking hard female poker players.......... ;whistle; Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: TheChipPrince on August 28, 2007, 07:22:34 PM Doyle & Big Daddy - Seperated at birth...

There would be a conflict of interest here. You could hardly be allowed to be the cause and the judge of your own results.Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: The_nun on August 28, 2007, 07:38:36 PM I wish Robert, my age must really be showing now as whilst on a full tube on saturday a mid 20's female offered ME her seat next to her mom. How sick did I feel..

Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: colipoo on August 28, 2007, 09:03:01 PM On the WSOP main event coverage from about 3 years ago there was some serious needle between Helmuth and sam grizzle. Apparently this all stemmed from a previous fall out where it was decided to settle it in the car park of a casino. For the record the story says that Grizzle flattened helmuth.

Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: WarBwastard on August 29, 2007, 01:02:36 AM The French guy from LNP who beat Hellmuth was Robert Cohen. Not sure he'd be much use in a fist fight; looks more of a dueling kinda guy to me. On the beach at dawn sort of thing.

If not, James Bond must be the right answer.

We should have a poll.
Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: kinboshi on August 29, 2007, 10:52:28 AM I think bolt is way harder than James Bond. We should have a poll. Good point. Tantrum is the hardest poker player. Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: RED-DOG on August 29, 2007, 11:04:31 AM .

Tantrum is the hardest poker player. She is quite hard. She also seems to have the affect of making other players at her table appear pretty hard too. Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: MAF on August 29, 2007, 02:13:36 PM Jean-Robert Bellande looks quite intimidating.

Title: Re: Who is the hardest poker player Post by: Div on September 01, 2007, 02:56:29 PM Just caught up with this thread, and my mind immediately went to an old post by Big Dave D...
http://internetpokerpro.blogspot.com/2005/09/harmonica.html Quote I was going to make the main focus the amusing story of when a player drove across country to confront a well known poker contributor, occasional funny man, and often hard nut. This confrontation was principally around a pick axe handle, brought just for the occasion. On seeing his interlocutor, stepping out of a car with the said debating tool poised for questioning, our comedian said, quietly, coolly "Is that all you've got?" Which if it had been me, would have provoked a fast rewind of existence so far, back into the car, reverse out of the street, Keystone Cops-style, and getting the **** out of Dodge. This did not happen. The next day I saw our jovial friend, still jovial, and as unblemished as he ever could be. Our misguided friend, however, was bundled up like a decade early audition for The Mummy.
