Most Hated Poker Players Part II
In the last post, I took at look at some of the poker players who everyone loves to hate. So far, Layne Flack, Annie Duke, Todd Brunson, Dave “Devilfish” Ulliot, and Scotty Nguyen have made the list. However, the top 5 most hated poker players have yet to be revealed. With that in mind, let’s finish out the list!
5. Men Nguyen
This is the second Nguyen to make the list, and for good reason too. Whether Men “The Master” Nguyen is starting a verbal fight at the table or being accused of training other Vietnamese poker players to help him rig games, Men is definitely not a liked man in the poker community.
4. Mike Matusow
Not only does The Mouth have major money management issues, but he has also battled drug problems throughout his entire poker career which may explain his abrasive personality. His awful segment on CardPlayer.com hasn’t helped his image much either.
3. Tony “G” Gouga
Tony G is always an entertaining person at the table, however, a lot of the players can’t stand him. He constantly gives other players advice while berating them at the same time during big hands. Tony’s rants have even become YouTube sensations over the years.
2. Phil Hellmuth
Many consider Hellmuth to be the most annoying poker player alive, and he certainly backs this billing up at the table with his over-the-top rants directed at other players. The only reason Hellmuth doesn’t make number one on this list is because most of his rants seem fake these days and are only a means of self promotion.
1. Sean Sheikhan
From getting busted for messing around with underage girls to taunting poker legends like Doyle Brunson for no reason, there is little to like about Sheikhan. About the only thing cool about Sheikhan is that he has had some great verbal fights with Matusow.
