Who is your favorite poker pro to watch, and what's the biggest lesson you've learned from them?

Marcel "the Flying Dutchman" Luske absolute legend taught me to take your losses and wins in stride.

Players like him are awesome and good promotion for poker. Especially after seeing some players in the wsop Main event 2025 behaving absolutely sickening at the table.

At the moment it's Punnat Punsri. I used to play live cash games with him back in the day so it's always nice to see him running deep in tournaments

Well I always look forward to watch Dnegs
play not because of his gameplay but also because of his bubbly personality,speechplay.

If you prefer live cash games, you'll probably be inspired by Tom "Durrrr" Dwan's great bluffs and sixth sense.

I've always been inspired to play poker by Doyle Brunson, who was a great player.

Patrik Antonius. Definitely my favorite poker player. Although, by objective criteria, I don’t think he would be in the top 5 best players, I just like him overall as a personality in the poker world. I’m drawn to his quietness and calm demeanor.

Well Chris Moneymaker did inspire me to take the game back up, but while I do enjoy & admire watching several of the players, not really where I look for inspiration.

It’s definitely changed over the years, right now it’s Adrian Moteos, I really love watching his YouTube videos “Inside the mind of a pro”

My inspiration for poker is not a pro, but my mother...she was a very good poker player...in fact, I was born after my mother went into labour at a poker game, so you might say I was born into poker. Every year, on the anniversary of the day she passed away, I play live poker at a local casino before going to visit my parents in the cemetery. As far as poker pros go, I enjoy watching some of the players I met when I was part of the Cardschat team at the 2019 WSOP Colossus event...DNegs, Moneymaker, Erik Seidel, Barry Greenstein, Huck Seed, Scott Seiver, Pat Lyons, especially former New England Patriots' all-star defensive lineman, Richard Seymour, who turned poker pro after he retired from football, since he was kind enough to double me up during the 2019 Colossus.

Dan Harrington.I read his books and it leveled up my game.

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

The ones that made it to the top without any kind of Sponsorship: Llinuslove or Lena990 for example

Least inspiring: Daniel "more rake is better" Negreanu.

 

[Rmi]

Adrian Mateos will always be one of the best

 

[GrannySmit77]

I enjoy watching D. Negreanu's vlogs. I don't know that he's the most inspiring but I admire the amount of dedication he has for the game, during a long stretch of time. And his vlogs expose new players to poker and inspire another generation to be interested in the game.

 

[woraphatman]

its D. Negreanu's
the best

Zeros poker, I really like his content, I would say that I've seen all the videos on his channel and I'm looking forward to the next video, I'm recreational so I don't always play seriously, but what I learned the most with him was to have the courage to go all in bluff.
