Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

(just a parallel post to the Top 3 you wouldn't want to watch) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1.) Daniel Negreanu - great aggressive style, great personality, and provides interesting insights...

2.) Phil Ivey/Barry Greenstein - for their total domination

3.) Tony G/Mike Matusow/Clonie Gowen - for their "entertainment" value...

Michael Gratz, Tuan Le, Gus Hansen.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

1) Evelyn Ng - yeah ok she's overrated, I know. But I like looking at her.

2) Mike Matusow - as mentioned, the entertainment value

3) Hoyt Corkins - cool demeanor at the tables

ivey
cunningham
hansen

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Phil Ivey- cause he is an animal one of if not the best poker player. i have seen him play live many times hes got great reads.

Allen Cunnigham- He is just the man poty in 2005 4th in the wsop and bracelt winner. Although i felt like he was a target when it was the 4 of them left 3 on 1.

Danny Negreanu - I mean 2004 Poty all around nice guy agressive can really turn it on and dominate when he wants to. Talk about reads he is always spot on its amazing.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Laak, Hansen, Soulier

okay Soulier for +hotness EV

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein, Johnny Chan. Close call with guys like Chip Reese, John Juanda, and Allen Cunningham. Honorable mention to Tommy Wang.

I don't need to see guys hamming it up for tv.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

for their play:
gus hansen
phil ivey

for entertainment:
phil hellmuth
mike matusow
phil laak
daniel negreanu (to some degree, sometimes its too much)

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

ivey, hansen and greenstein...i like their styles of play...

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

1. Daniel Negreanu
2. Jennifer Harman
3. Phil Hellmuth

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

1) Barry G
2) Daniel N
2 1/2) Entertaining players: Sam Farha, Laak, Esfandiari, Deeb.
3) Hot players: Rousso, Ng, Lieu, Gowen.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

You guys seriously think Laak is entertaining?

There should be a poll about "Top 3 players you would most like to punch in the face for being a jackass". He would take all three of my spots.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Interesting... no votes for Ted Forrest. I love watching him play.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

1) Chip Reese
2) Barry Greenstein
3) Doyle Brunson

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

1. Nam Lee
2. Chip Jett
3. John Phan

If all players were topless I'd go:
1. Shannon Elizabeth
2. Jenny Tilly
3. Rousso (would have to be muzzled)

All great aggresive styles

Hmm, if topless is a consideration then I would have to go with:

1) Evelyn Ng
2) Jean Gluck
3) Yasmine Bleeth (hey, she played in some tourneys)

I like Shannon Elizabeth, but I've already seen her topless in American Pie.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Forrest
Ivey
Hansen

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein, Chip Reese not particularly in this order.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Ivey, Hansen, Barry

Had way too much TV time for one lifetime: Daniel

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Ivey, Negreanu, Farha, Laak

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Matusow. You never know if he's going to play great or donk off his chips and explode. Tick, tick, tick...

Negreanu. I think I learn more about the game from watching him than any other pro. He can be annoying, and he calls way too much on the river when he knows he's beat, but he's still great to watch.

Moneymaker. Yes, seriously. I love rooting for this guy because he's a class act and much better than people think. He's showing that on Poker After Dark. Say what you will, but his bluff on Farhah is still the greatest move ever pulled in recent main event history.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

3 players that I could always watch are:
1) Brandi Hawbaker
2) Ellix Powers
3) Jimmy Fricke

If we had to pick 3 players to play together it would obviously be:
1) Brandi Hawbaker
2) Tom Franklin
3) Mark Newhouse

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

at NL tournaments I'd go with Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth. Many of the rest just play too inconsistently and poorly for my tastes.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

I have way too many favorites... But because they have hardly been mentioned, I'll pick:

Jennifer Harmon - by far the best woman player on the circuit. I love watching her take the guy's money on HSP.

Kathy Leibert - solid player, but a table bully, and you can just see the steam come out of her ears when she is bullied back.

Cyndi Violette - not as good a player as some others, but I love her philosophy. If only I could be so Zen at the table...

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Erica Schoenberg for eye candy

Ted Forrest because he is just spooky good

There are probably a dozen tied for third but they all fit into that "made for TV" personality mode.

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Ivey, Scotty Nguyen, and Greg Raymer

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Matusow, Hellmuth and Raymer

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Not necessarily in this order:
Isabelle Mercier
Vanessa Rousso
Jennifer Leigh
Honorable Mention: Clonie, Evelyn Ng, Liz Lieu,...
Does skill have anything to do with your question?

Ted Forrest and Phil Ivey for their game
Hellmuth, Matusow and Tony G for entertainment value

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

there will always be clowns to entertain. If I could guarantee 3 players to always be on HSP they would be (in alphabetical order)

Doyle Brunson
Jennifer Harman
Phil Ivey

Negreanu, Hansen, Scotty Nguyen

esfandiari,antonius and sheik

Farha
D.N.

Honorable Mention: Hellmuth

My wacked-out list:
Robert Williamson III
Josh Arieh
Deeb

Re: Top 3 Players You Wouldn\'t Mind Watching All The Time?
 

Doyle
Daniel
Raymer

Honorable Mention: Farha. He could--and this would never happen of course--fold every hand and still be the coolest man in Vegas. Mostly because he always looks like he might call in a hit.
