What's not to like about Moneymaker? Seems like a decent sort, his win helped catapult poker to its present popularity. Is it because he's not a world class player or something?

I really wonder how any of you people can like Hellmuth, or Matusow, or friedman; these people make their living being azzholes,and are absolutely unlikeable. Can any of you explain this phenomenon?...

[/ QUOTE ]i put no for friedman. i'm less annoyed at mike than before cause i see he does everythin in a more playful manner (unlike tony g who is annoying as hell). and i would of put no for hellmuth but after his 11th, i have way too much respect for him, plus i enjoy watching him for entertainment value.

[diamonddawg]

wtf popularity contest? back to high school ya putzs.

[prohornblower]

Interesting thread. I was correct in my assumption that Greenstein is the most liked well-known pro in poker.

I'm actually surprised 3 people voted no for him. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[kerr]

looks like clownie is the least liked

[New2NL]

How can all you guys like Doyle???

The guy is a crook, a liar and criminal. The fact that anyone likes him is surprising.

[PocketElevens]

Theres a few people I didn't really know anything about.

So naturally I gave them the non-benifit of doubt and voted no.

Stop it. You're killing me! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

The real scary thing is how I could probably answer these pop. poles all day. Keep them coming, I'm game.

Also, I'm shocked Greenstein is 97%:Yes. I know he posts here, and I voted yes also, but still...97%. I don't think that can be beat?

Anyway, back to to the poling stations. Perhaps Shana Hiatt is coming up. She would get a yes from me, if she's there. I'll predict she would get 83% yes, only because there are some very picky people out there.

Love the thread. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Edit: It just hit me. He gives his tournament winnings to charity. Of course he's going to be 0ver 90% Yes.

Although, even if he didn't donate to charity, he'd still probabably get 85%-yes, at least. Go Barry go. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Why the HELL don't people like TJ Cloutier??

[/ QUOTE ]

I've never met T.J. Cloutier, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't a great person (besides, he used to play for the Toronto Argo's in the CFL), it's just that after seeing him so often on tv, I've grown tired of him.

Sometimes I'm voting strictly on whether or not I want to see someone at a televised poker table. Maybe not what the pole is designed for, but once in awhile I'm clicking NO, for that very reason.

However, even though I've seen many of these pros on tv for years, I still vote Yes for them, because for some reason, they haven't lost their appeal yet. It's hard to figure out why some have and some haven't, but anyway, that's why I'm eagerly waiting for even more names in the pole.

Did I mention that I LOVE this thread? Yes, I think I already did! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I liked him on the WPT shows (I've only seen up to Season #4-bloody Canadian tv), but then when I saw him on the NBC Heads-up tourny, scowling or cringing everytime Chad Brown put the beat-down on him (suckouts really test ones character), I just quickly clicked No. It was the first thing that popped into my mind and thus influenced my vote.

Simple. I hate wrestling, but if I were to watch it, I imagine I'd love watching these guys kicking the crap out of everyone until all of a sudden it all turns around and they start getting thrown around the ring like rag dolls.

Adding hot chicks to wrestling isn't going to get me to watch (porn is better), but if I can get the opportunity to watch Matusow or Hellmuth get bitch-slapped in the ring or at the poker table ,then count me in.

Even when these guys win at the poker table, I enjoy it because I feel sorry for them, and want them to get some extra happiness out of life. They may be rich (usually), but I never feel jealous when they do well. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Poker Face]

Geez. Men the Master. He gives me the creeps. Always smiling, but I get a sense that he's the kind of guy that would stab you in the back any chance he got. Especially, if you refused to work for him as one of his cronies, I mean teammates (yes, I think he's crooked).

He's the villain I LOVE to hate. So, I voted Yes, for Men the Master. Even though, whenever I get to see him on tv ,that means he's doing well, I still absolutely LOVE rooting against him, probably the same way Hellmuth haters love watching Phil get crushed on any hand. I'm a Hellmuth fan and of course will always vote Yes for him. Keep whining, Phil, I love it. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

So, I don't always vote No for scumbags because I never have to talk to them in real life anyway. If they entertain me on tv and I'm glued to the tv watching, then I'll usually vote Yes.

Hey, Men the Master, next time you beat your wife (allegedly) make sure the crew from COPS is nearby, filming it all./images/graemlins/grin.gif
