(3) Humberto Brenes - His crass annoying behaviour is just pathetic.

Phil Hellmuth - I love this guy, he's so funny. People take his antics too seriously. He's harmless.

WTF? I don't like Humberto's behavior either, but at least it's not meant spirited like Hellmuth. Phil is seldom playful when spewing his venom. At least Brenes is trying to have fun and not berating other players.

Annie Duke..I just don't like her vibe. Or any whiny player for that matter.

quack quack paul magriel he it freaking scary with his tounge and his ubcessive compulsive behaviors

[prohornblower]

Voulgaris
Molina
Bellande

Respected pros that I can't stand to watch: Andy Bloch (mainly because of the horrible FT hat he wears), and Ferguson (can't stand how he's always got his fists up covering his mouth like every decision is life or death. Same glasses, hat, and hair every single time you see the guy. I really can't stand it.) I will say that he seems like a classy, nice guy. If I were to meet him I'd probably love to pick his brain, but seeing him on TV w/o the ability to converse with him is just pointless.

(2) Devilfish - The guy is an idiot. He tries to act like a gangster and this bugs me. I can't stand the whole "Lock Stock" mentality which exists amongst some UK poker players. It's ridiculous.

Don't think Devilfish's gangster schtick is an act. He's definitely served time, and his pre-poker-pro profession was pawnbroker, which is just a respectable term for loan shark/fence.

Agree with you about the whole Lock, Stock deal with regard to fake gangsters though.

As for my most hated three, in no particular order:

Humberto Brenes (Just STFU, will you?)
Men the Masturbator ("All you can oink, Pigsy")
Sheikhan the kid-killer.

Honourable mentions go out to:

Micon.
Any and all members of 'The Crew'.

Disliked players that I'd like to see more of:

Tony G.
Pralahd Friedman

WAH!? I think Devilfish has on the whole ditched the suit/glasses and pretty much been jeans and T-shirt when he's been at tournaments these days for some reason (I may be wrong but the last time I saw him on TV at a US event was the PPT).

I don't think many UK players on the US circuit if at allturn up in black coat/suit and act all 'gangster'.
