Poker Pros: New Breed of Entertainers

Poker as a game has gone from a mere recreational activity to being a spectator sport which is much watched and contested the world over. After the poker tournaments started, the game no longer remained the same. Poker is now a game which is played and watched by millions the world over. Thus, poker players have now become celebrities whose moves are watched and admired by zillions of fans. Nowadays, the professional poker players are not known for their poker faces but exactly the opposite – their animated personalities and the way they handle their moves.

Mike Matusow is a professional poker player whose characteristic playing habit is by constantly talking. He is known as the “mouth” and from the time he sits at the full tilt poker table, he talks continuously; he became famous after saying the F word five times and having to leave the tournament table for an hour due to that, as penalty. But he is usually good natured and entertaining to watch.

Phil Hellmuth is known as “Poker Brat” for his ability to taunt other players by speaking in third person. Hence, when he says that others do not know how to spell poker even, he bristles some hides but no one can nail him since he never directly accuses anyone. When he implodes and plays the game, his moves in the game become interesting.

Jennifer Tilly is a woman poker player whose moves are fun to watch as is her low down shirts at times. The television shows where she plays often become livelier with her jokes and the way she flirts with the players during the rounds.

Daniel Negreanu is one of the toughest poker star players around. He has the gift of gab, perception as well as persuasion which he uses to make amazing reads about his players’ moves in the table and uses to his advantage when he plays his hand.

Scotty Nguyen is a world class poker player who is known to punctuate almost all of his lines with “baby” as he did when he won the World Series of Poker Championship, Main Event in 1998.

Phil Laak, also known as the “Unabomber” is called so for his trademark hooded sweatshirt which is his signature look at every table. He is known seldom to be sitting around; he gets up in between hands and performs push ups as well.

Marcel Luske is a fashionable poker player who is seen wearing impeccable, expensive suits to each game. His trademark is upside down sunglasses which he wears on the forehead. He is a talkative and charming player and he loves the game which is evident from the way he plays it.

Gavin Smith is a Canadian poker player who is someone you would not wish were seated against you in a Full Tilt Poker.net table. He is known to be a great strategizer and can pull apart his opponents. Humberto Brenes is one of the most entertaining poker players to date. He dances, sings around in between hands and runs around with a rubber shark to gobble up his opponents’ bets. He is definitely the most fun to watch.
