Which player are you like?

roryc

Which pro would you say you are most like, or which player do you aspire to be like?

Obviously everyone has their own style of play, but which pro do you think you are most like, in the way you play and the attitude you have towards poker.

I reckon I am most like the infamous Phil Hellmuth, for obvious reasons… I play a lot of flops in the hope that I can outplay people, I think that reading people is probably my best skill (IMO), and as most people know, I’m a moany fcuker when I get a bad beat… especially from a bad player

Oh, and from all accounts… I suck at cash games…


Not something that I’m especially proud of, but I can’t really see any other player which I could be compared to!

Lets see if we have any Phil Ivey’s or Andy Blacks out there

ntlbell

Gus hansen or layne flack.

and tbh, I'm sick of watching them try to pull the same moves as me, they really need to concentrate on they're own style.

I haven't played with you much, twice before i knew you were 'roryc'

and once at the bsop and I have to agree, you're ability to read people really impressed me.

cheers just need to work on the rest of my game now...

Are you trying to say you're funny?

I'd say i'm like Simon Trumper, not very good but full of confidence.

Sinfonia

my strongest point is reading people, i think and theorise about poker far more than i would say is healthy, i'm a bit strange, and i like to talk at the table, so (wishful thinking) maybe Mike Caro

i'm not very good at online poker as my "strongest" point is out of effect, so i just bet all the time - so online, maybe more like Brunson (again, wishful thinking)

Ohoh! Relax Dom...he's a hero of mine and its a gag.

5starpool

No I won't relax. I am so angry I can't sleep, so there.

It'll keep me awake for at least 3 mins. I don't know about you but I do all my moral buying at Outrage'R'Us these days, and I think it is value for money.
