Poker players who play the style they advocate...

[xPRODIGYx]

I just thought I would throw this question out there...

From reading books/watching dvd's and then watching the player on television, what players do you think play the closest to the style they teach?

[mrdeeds]

I would say Phil Gordon (Little Green Book) and Dan Harrington (HOH trilogy) play exactly the style they teach. Both do not hold back in describing there play and strategies

I've seen TJ Cloutier make plays that are the opposite of what is written in the various McEvoy/Cloutier books, but he has probably never read those books [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

doesn't harrington take advantage of his very tight reputation to semi-bluff/bluff alot? i can't remember how much of that is in the book. i don't remember much of that subject...

one thing that all books seem disappointing on is tougher situations, which is much of the time i think we say the players don't play by their own book... OTOH, only so much of that which can be fleshed out in a book.

Tom McAvoy, although I think he recently started opening up his game more.

Howard Lederer seems to play pretty close to the style he teaches. His pre-flop play (especially early and middle) seems very similar and a lot of the nuances he suggests, he does seem to incorporate in his game.

I saw him chatting on Full Tilt a while back and he said something about how a lot of players have started to play him differently, since his dvd's came out.

I would add Jim Brier to this list.
