Default Re: Top 3 players you\'d prefer to never see on TV again

1) Matasow - too much overplaying his part. Being a mouth is one thing, being an ass is another

2) Chris Bigler - just have an instant dislike for him

3) Humberto Brenes - the whole thing with the shark was way overboard, though he does do that [censored] all the time when there's cameras around. Why do so many players have trouble showing class?

Can't agree with the David Grey hate. I've met him a few times and he's a nice guy, a very good player, and he has a lot of wit. I think he's trying a little too hard to be funny when he's on HSP, though, which is why he's coming off poorly. If he could loosen up and just be himself he would do better.

1. David Grey. Boring as the come.
2. Jerry Buss. Boring as hell.
3. Eli Elezra. Boring as hell and think he's the [censored].

I actually think Zee is interesting to listen to, and I enjoy watching him play. He's had a really interesting life, and I'd rather hear him talk than Matusow being an douchebag. I'm guessing that most people who like David Grey (like me) would agree.

David Gray might be lifeless at times but he had a few good zingers on that one week of HSP and anyone who thinks he needs to get off TV probably isn't thinking too hard.

1) Shiekan is annoying and really witless...how bad is it when you're totally outclassed by Mike Matusow??

2) Annie Duke is a little bitch

3) Scott Fischman (WHY HAS NOBODY MENTIONED THIS GUY)

Grey has definitely had better one-liners in PAD than HSP. He could shut up a bit, but his humor has grown on me the last couple of times I've watched him.

I personally am getting sick and tired of Matusow. Every dang show has to have him on it nowadays.

Others I'd ax: Liebert, Perry Friedman (the guy that thinks the drawn on hand puppet is funny), Tom Franklin (his last PPT appearance annoyed me).

Edit to say if Tom Franklin talks about the penis on back story, I'll put him back on the must-see list.

I don't mind obnoxious jerks on TV. It's fun to root against someone. Villians make things interesting. Would you rather watch Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Jaba the Hutt play poker or child Annakin Skywalker, Jar Jar Binks and an Ewok?

These might be 3 of the best poker players in the world, but they are more boring than test patterns.

1. Phil Ivey
2. Huck Seed
3. Chris Ferguson

(These 3 guys avatars on Full Tilt are programed with a vastly larger assortment of emotions than what they have in real life.)
