Tuan Le has Barry Greenstein. David "Dragon" Pham has Men "the Master" Nguyen. Jamie Gold has Johnny Chan... If you could pick any pro poker player to have as your mentor, who would it be?

Harrington I think, my style is more like his, tight aggressive.

Phil Hellmuth was born in 1964 in Madison, Wisconsin, and has won 10 World Series of Poker Bracelets, including a main event win in 1989. He has been at 20 final tables at the World Series of Poker and won over 4 million dollars there.

Hes from Wisconsin...what else can I say

Tough question.

My initial reaction is to respond Howard Lederer though so I guess I'll go with that.

For me it would have to be someone who created legendary status which resulted to them being referred by a single name(like Prince or Madonna). Looking at the requirement it could only be- YELTZEN!!!!!!

Chris Ferguson. Talent, poise, math and icewater for blood.

[Button Potato]

I would want to learn from the best - Phil Ivey.

[abby99]

Great question!

Granted that Phil Hellmuth is the greatest NLHE poker player alive -- just ask him -- and I too am from Wisconsin, but I think that I could learn the most from Daniel Negreanu. I'm sure that I'd have a great time as well.

[jojobinks]

greenstein.

versatility is the key. he's been successful:

1. in the big game
2. in tournies

this description matches others, including doyle, chip reese and johnny chan. but greenstein is my choice.

Although I think Ivey is the "best" player, I don't think he'd be the guy I'd want as a teacher (would be kind of difficult to teach or learn his style of play). I would love to learn from Barry Greenstein.
