I don't know if any thread like this has been created before (probably has) but I thought it could be fun to know which pro pokerplayer you like and why?
Personally I like Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, Tom Dwan and an american named Danny Wong. Phil Ivey because he must be the best all-round pokerplayer. I especially admire his ability to read his opponents. Gus Hansen, well I am myself a dane so I kind of had to pick a favourite from my own country.
Tom Dwans play is extremely entertaining though I think he sometimes play "crazy". Lets just say that if he spots a weakness he moves all-in.
I saw Danny Wong play on a live final table (I think it was Bellagio Cup III or maybe not), where Kevin Saul won. He really deserved to win the tournament and I liked his somewhat conservative style. He played very solid poker, which is probably the style that is most similar to my own.
I simply don't have guts to play like Tom Dwan, Gus or Ivey.
If I should mention a player I do not like it would probably be Mike "the mouth" Matusow. I think all his talking is very ennoying. Personally I would tilt in order to try and get him out just to save myself from his endless babbling.
Hi im not a Pro but i like myself i think everyone shout do this because you give your best and youre your own star you got the same cards like Pros and the same Brain so go to get a Pro

Dwan = idiot for me We will see in five years what he has achieved besides having huge swings. All other Pro's are adapting now to his style of play and I bet he will not 5 bet that much anymore with 8-6 offsuit. He makes sick laydowns, no doubt about it If U checked PTRatings from this and last year :s
