I would go with Daniel Negreanu. I like his game and demeaner. And I think he could teach me alot about reading and information gathering. Also, we grew up in the same neighborhood in Toronto and share the same sick misfortune of being die-hard leafs fans.
I'd pick Jamie Gold, and the first time he said something wise, I'd punch him in the mouth, then I'd start slapping him with a deck of cards and show everyone else "This is how you win the WSOP!"
Then I'd go ask Phil Ivey real nice if he had a few pointers.
Evil you crack me up -- I can't stop laughing -- I keep visualizing you punching Gold and slapping him...ahhhh!
I would like mind meld with John Juanda -- he seems to have an amazing ability to read people and stay cool no matter what.
Id have to say phil helmuth, at least from a NL holdem standpoint. All of his bracelets were in holdem and he's a package player. he can do it all and has played against the old school players of Brunson and the new school players as well and always had success. He just knows so much about the game but not so much class. I wouldnt mind John Juanda if I could understand him better .
