2. Phil Ivey
3. Daniel Neganeau
4. Johnny Chan
5. Howard Lederer

Player I dont like/ root against
1. Phil Hellmuth
2. Sam Farha
3. Mark Seif
4. Mike Matasou
5. Anyone else who feels the need to yell, scream or otherwise act like a jackass while winning or losing a pot.

Cannot tolerate Kathy Liebert, the so smug she's nearly crosseyed grin decimates my sanity.

Mike Sexton and his endless Stu Ungar hype bores the hell out of me.

Two for the thumbs down column.

Also, while not technically a professional poker player, Jesse May get the double thumbs up from me, he's the best at writing about poker, his WSOP was good, the book he wrote I'd recommend (seems very autobiographical) and his commentary, while maybe an acquired taste, I enjoy.

What about the Unabomber - Phil Laak?

His antics at the table are inexcusable. I know ESPN likes him because it makes for good TV but he is an embarrasement to gentlemen like Brunson and Raymer.
