Least favorite poker player?
Anybody have a least favorite player? Either in terms of attitude or skill.
I'm gonna go with Sheikhan after watching High Stakes poker.
Actually, i don't see the problem with Brenes either. He seems good-natured.
I'm also definitely NOT a fan of Hellmuth. I get tired of hearing someone talk about no one but himself all day.
Matusow I love. His attitude is so-so, but I think he's a great player and i LOVE Tony G. He's just irreverent and, as Sabes mentioned, he can dish it as well as take it.
Totally agreed with Sabes on Phil Ivey. In many ways I hope SOME DAY i can be half the player he is, both skill and attitude-wise.

attitude: there are plenty, but i think i will take sheikhan as well, he is annoying and an instigator...the most popular answers are going to be mike matusow and phil hellmuth, but i find the both of them to be absolutely hilarious...the other interesting potential answer is tony g, but the difference is that when he gets beat he takes it like a man
skill: i understand she is an excellent player in mixed games, but i'm sorry, annie duke is an extremely overrated no-limit player...and jamie gold should be on everyone's honorable mention list
edit: i can't believe people don't like humberto brenes, he's a great player and while he goes overboard with the whole shark bit it's all in good fun...that's a stark contrast to sheikhan or hellmuth who berate people...and to the person who said they didn't like phil ivey, sorry, but that's the epitome of what a poker player SHOULD be, all class, plus he's only the best in the world...and also, last time i checked todd brunson is a big winner in cash games

Jamie gold. He got so luck on the world series of poker in 2006. I have never seen a person play as many crappy hands and catch. Also I didn't like the way he tried to screw his buddy over with his portionsof the winning. (I don't know if anybody read about that or not). I did enjoy the beating he took on High Stakes poker from Doyle Brunson. That was a classic
To read why his money was froze after winning go to www.cardplayer.com and search the news articles it will explain

I don't like to judge to much, and I respect any player who put his feet under a poker table.
BUT! I can't stand Humberto Brenes...I just can't. I take a Sheikhan, a Matusow and Hellmuth (already did) any day, but Humberto and his shark......That would be a challenge! I played with many pros, but never find myself next to Humberto..Thank god.
That's why I love my Ipod so much sometimes

I have hated Todd Brunson for quite a while now. He is a miserable looking guy and he has very little skill. He has never won any decent tournament that I know of and has lost money in his career on high-stakes poker. He has just been riding his Dad's coattails and using the Brunson name to boost his popularity. If his Dad wasn't Doyle, Todd would be working in a factory somewhere making minimum wage...LOL

I have to agree Sheikhan, is such a turd. The only reason I want to see him on TV is the hope that someone felts him in the most brutal way possible.
He is just such an unlikable person. Even Helmuth isn't so annoying.

Humberto Brenes is a ******* retart, ******, gay *** muthafucka. He is fuuuuucking annoying no joke.
Seriosly Shekihan is nothing compared to Humberto. Omg....i hate that guy so badly its not even funny. Hes even impolite too.

I don't like a Phil Hellmuth because he's too loud and I don't like Phil Ivey because he's too quiet. My favorites are Jennifer Tilly and Daniel Negreanu.
- ♥New Mommy♥Lv 61 decade ago
Humberto Brenass (I have no idea how to spell his name)...he's the annoying one with the shark figuirine. Argh he is terrible.
I also dislike Phil Helmuth simply because he is a baby.
