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. |

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. |

Daniel N. No question. I think he is right up there with the other top players (who all would be good to learn from), but I think getting insight into his reading abilities and the fact that he would make it fun to learn, put him at the top of the list IMO.

For just all around solid play - i might go with Howard Ledered - although i dont think he makes too many fancy moves or mixes it up like the other guys do - he obviously knows how to play
My second choice would be Phil Ivey - once i was more advanced and ready to mix it up a bit.

You don't give Toto enough respect.

Probably true... and he has a track record so you have to. I personally think Phil Helmouth's assessment of him was 100% correct though. He does not consistently make finals tables because he is simply too reckless.... not taking anything away from his playing ability -- just not really my style
