If you could take lessons from ONE pro, who would it be?

[Penguinfan]

You only get to pick one and could never learn from another pro, who would you want to teach you their entire game?

I hate to say it becasue i just dislike the guy so much, but for me it would have to be Mike Matusow. He can flat out play.

Yours?

Daniel Negranu, spelled last name wrong but that would be mine.


Not only can he play but he seems like real nice guy so I think he would be a great teacher.

Phil Ivey...

He is one of the best young players around (5 WSOP bracelets) and he is only 28 and already plays the biggest cash games around.

He also has almost no pulse at the table... he could lose a million dollar pot (cash or tourney) and not even show any emotion whatsoever.

Gus Hansen
I need to work on my ability to play any two cards and winning.
(I guess Daniel Negranu might work too.)

Mike Matusow really impressed me with his "You have AK right? And you just folded an Ace right? BOOM 60%" analysis at the WSOP.

I'd still want lessons though from a player who is aggressive but not insane. As much as you have to respect players such as Gus Hanson, Antonio Esfandiari and Lane Flack, I simply wouldnt want to learn from them... they are flat out too reckless (the worst is Todo Leonidas [sp] ) which is why they are all over the place, have huge swings, and are generally inconsistant.

I'd much rather learn from Phil Ivey (who is very aggressive but not crazy) or Daniel Negreanu, who is probably the best person in the world at reading hands and making correct decisions.

i would defenitely take lessons from dan harrington, he is a great player with great knowledge and has no probl;em tackling anyone or re raising and he knows how to get respect on any table
