Answer 3

I like Daniel Negreanu personally, he's very talented player.

Answer 4

Money Maker use to be the greatest, but now I would say Daniel Negreanu

Answer 5

Ted Forest is really amazing - it's uncanny how good he is at reading other players.  I also really like Eli Elezra and you've got to give props to Doyle.  Tony G is unbelievably obnoxious but I do respect his play and think you've got to hand it to a guy who enjoys a bad beat as much as he does.  Lastly, Gus is one cool customer and I've always enjoyed his willingness to play any two cards and take it all the way.  He's one tough nut to crack and I think he'd be d**n near impossible to read.

Answer 6

My favorite professional poker player is one that not many people know about. Unfortunately he recently died.  Chip Reese, he was considered by most of the well known professional players to be the best all round poker player alive.  He was mainly a cash player, and did not play in many tournaments, however, he won the first 50k buy in HORSE tournament (known as the professional's tournament) at the WSOP year before last.  Doyle Brunson considered him one of the best in the world.

In interviews with professionals about who is the best, his name was always at the top of the list, in a profession that is ego driven, that says alot.  He was soft spoken and was good at all varieties of poker.

There is one other, had he lived, would have been the best tournament nlhe player in the world, Stu Ungar.  he played in only 4 WSOP main events and he won three.  He developed the style known as loose aggresive, long before Gus Hanson or any of those well known aggresive players were ever heard of.  Strange, both of my choices are now not with us, what a shame because the poker world lost two of the best players that ever lived.

Answer 7

Daniel Negreanu  he's awesome one of the best hands down.

But Gus is cool too!

Answer 8

Negreanu, Ivey and Lederer.

Answer 9

Gotta go with Chris Ferguson

Answer 10

I like Ivey...he's very good and he seems like just about the only poker player, or I should say the only *male* poker player, that I'd actually wanna hang out with...he seems...normal.

All the other poker players either look like complete retards/dorks, or they are just...weird...personality-wise.  Well, I guess Hansen is pretty normal too, but alot of those other guys are just strange.  Even Negranu (ugh, not sure how that is spelled)...he's probably the best out there, or very close...but the guy is just kinda...weird...
