when i'm at work i watch poker at pokerstars, i don't get to play cause i can't concentrate on what i'm doing and start making bonehead plays, i like to watch if i can to see what it is i'm doing wrong and what others are doing right, but who should i be watching should i watch the players at the level i am currently playing at (which is pretty much as low as you can go, lol) or should i watch the tables being played at the higher levels.

H@££INGGOL is probably the best ring game player and also probably the most entertaining one to watch. Hes very loose and VERY GOOD.

You can see him at 10/20 NL on stars.

If your more looking to learn, you might watch tigther players like rekrul, curzdog, bet2win, and some more. xxTheJokerxx is also very good player(but hes looser).

Another player i love is JERRRY, hes less known but damnit i never see this guy loosing.

Basicelly even if you watch HALLIN all day, that wont make you read as well as him. But i believe it shows well from what position to play etc.

maybe it's just me, but...as good as he is, I think trying to watch h@llingol or any loose player would do more harm than good for a newer player.

That is very possible. I'm sure Gus Hansen inspired many fish to play every hands.

But i still love watching hallingol. I think watching him might have helped me read better.

yea i watch them from time to time to time but mostly for entertainment, not really doing it to improve my game.

there was the funniest headsup match last night h@l vs some guy I've never heard of named tak-47....after h@l put a couple beats on him he tilted so bad lol

edit - btw someone mentioned nestegg, im pretty sure he's a good player.
and someone mentioned jerrry, no idea but he got 6th in the wcoop main event which gave him like 160k+

I watched him during his 160K win.

I am watching H@LL right now. I finally caught him online. Let's see what he does.

He raises PF, some guy reraises almost 3x his raise. H@LL calls. Flop comes ace high, the raiser was in the blinds so he bets, but he bets LESS than the amount of the preflop raise. H@LL reraises and takes the pot. The guy goes "can't win with kings against you"
