Who is the most likable poker pro in your opinion?

I've attempted to include all the players that I think are generally considered decent and likable and personable.

Please feel free to write-in any that I may have missed.

I've intentionally left out non pros like Dannenmann.

Shana Hiatt

Why?

Because she can make any poker pro likeable...when she is talking to them.

Right off the top of my head, I'd say Jen Harman. Look at the way she handled Jean Robert and Doug Kim. Who wouldn't have blown up when that guy slow rolled her with the straight flush?

Daniel Negreanu...seems easly going and not a lot of trash talking...

Sorry for the delay getting the poll up - it took forever and I didn't realize that I was limited to only 20 selections. I also wanted to alphabetize them to make it a bit easier to respond and that definitely took some time since they were just written on a legal pad. I already see a mistake in that regard, but won't point it out until you guys pick up on it. ;>

For the record - I had several others in contention to be included in the poll.

Among them:
Hasan Habib
Layne Flack
Scott Nguyen
John Juanda
Ron Rose
John Hennigan
Paul Darden Jr.
Gus Hansen

I had the idea for this poll today at the gym pondering my last few home games that are basically just social affairs.

In my opinion, being likable and easy going at the table can really work to one's advantage in getting action when it's wanted.

What....................no Phil H

using just the names on the list, i would have to say Kenna James. Met him in Aruba in 05, he was to my immediate left in the main event. super nice guy. we talked for most of the time i was at that table. When cardplayer came over to get chip counts, he spoke right up and gave them my first and last name to make sure to get my chip count. was really cool. Then I ran into him again in Vegas over the WSOP this past summer. I was surprised he remembered me. He actually came up to me and asked how things were going. Told him i was watching my wife in the ladies event, so he looked in for a bit. Wish they were all like that.

That's great to hear smt as Kenna gets my vote as well. I think he's a really genuine guy and a heckuva solid player.

Actually, he did not slow roll her at all from what I've read over the past two years about that incident.

It was a toss-up between Phil G. and Hoyt for me.

It came down to, "Who would you rather go on a bender with in Vegas?"

It was still real close.
