Hevad Khan

Is an obnoxious idiot. One guy at least called him out and told him to "just act normal"... That's not what I would have said, I would have told him to try having a little friggin dignity and class. I can't stand people who celebrate like that. Yippee, you won the pot. The entire western hemisphere doesn't need to know about it, just stack your chips and sit the hell down.

Personally I prefer Daniel Negraneu, Gus Hansen, and Annie Duke. Gus because he actually has the class I mentioned earlier, that and he's just really effin good. Daniel and Annie because I like watching them get inside people's heads, like the way they call out what their opponent is holding before they make their play. On one of the televised events I saw Annie just completely shrink this guy and not only did she know what he had, she made him believe she had something he could beat. And then the hand was over, you could see in his face he was just like "How did she do that?!" and the announcer was like "Well, she does have a degree in psychology."

Love that stuff

Is an obnoxious idiot.

I'm just saying he's makes for good television.

If you're after actualy good poker players in terms of skill, I'm a bit of a fan of Prahlad Friedman's online stuff. Dunno what he's up to these days though, but he used to kill the online tables.

When I started out playing poker it was Ferguson, but I don't see him enough. Now I would say #1 Gus Hansen, at every table I see him in on tv it seems he's the guy everyone is worried about. # 2 Phil Laak, he has a great way of talking about poker while playing. And #3 Daniel Negreanu, can't really say why, he just makes me want to see how he's going to play his hand. Still like Ferguson just never see him play.

I played at the same table as Gus Hanson at the Borgata open 500.00 buy in and had a chance to chat with him on breaks. I would say Gus and Negrano are my favorites. Both strong players!!!

It looks like what he was trying to do got to you, too. Its pretty obvious Hevad was trying to annoy/get into the heads of the other people at the table. Every pot he won was a big celebration and you can see the irritated looks in the opponents faces. I wouldnt be surprised if some players made some bad calls or moves trying to bust him (so he would shut up) and they just kept feeding him chips.

Its similar to how Tony G plays, except Tony G likes to trash talk and Hevad Khan likes annoy players through celebration and dance. All mind games and psych jobs. If its annoying you, then he doing something right.

for entertainment purposes i just watch high stakes poker where you can see all of the best at one table, and sheikan losing 150K or so in about 30 minutes....or something like that

hellmuth and matusow are priceless together.

4aces07 got it spot on for me. Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu and Sami Farha are 3 of my favourites. Hellmuth is just pure entertainment, winning or losing he comes out with the funniest things. Negreanu makes some amazing reads...for some reason he always seems to call even though he knows he's beat. And Farha's aggressive play is genius, especially when he hits a great flop!

Entertainment, would have to be Mike Matasow.

If I want to watch real poker, I watch Chris Ferguson.
I gotta agree on Mike. He does bring the entertainment factor but there are many greats other than Chris Ferguson that I would choose for watching real poker.

I like Ted Forrest. He's maybe not that "entertaining" to most people, but I like his calm, introverted manner. (Probably 'cause I'm very introverted myself.) Just sitting back with a smile on his face, letting the others do the entertaining, while he does the winning. And I've always liked Jen Tilly, both as an actress and a poker player.

Ted Forrest, Ferguson, Phil Gordon, Chad Brown, Doyle Brunson, The Professor all great players and worthy of watching. Chan is awesome and who doesnt like Daniel N.

Entertainment value no-one can beat Phil Hellmuth. For skill level I think Daniel Nograneu is unsurpassed with his reading abilities. And Gus Hansen just because you dont know what he is going to do next.

Gus Hanson
1. He is an awsome player
2. He's hot

Jennifer Harman
1. Good player
2. Closest to equalizing poker between men and women
3. Usually not refered to as the one with the nice rack. Meaning that she does not need to distract the men with her body to win.
