扑克之星有不同的体型大小，有些脾气很粗，有的哭起来像婴儿，有的则是令人毛骨悚然。即使他们在各地的扑克桌上显得可疑滑稽，但是你又不能对他们帮助，对于这些家伙只能是又爱又恨，他们有能力赢得大量的奖金。

　　托尼G。

　　G先生是粗鲁，小气，傲慢，肥胖和丑陋的家伙。这些特质，使人们很难想象他的母亲还会爱这个儿子。看着他滥用另一个无端的种族主义攻击的扑克玩家，这实在有点让人吃不消，尤其是当他是那样明目张胆的，拿着一块硬币在那边翻转。

　　迈克·马图索

　　麦克马图索有多个心脏，这是其他的扑克高手都这么认为的。他是那样的多心，其实，他无法历经在WSOP磨难之后控制他的不好情绪。 他在镜头前，他把AK看成了AQ，输掉了比赛。然后他就像一个婴儿那样放声大哭。如果扑克使你如此失落了，那么，也许你应该考虑成为成为一名专业的水暖工。

　　然而，很多人喜欢迈克。但没有人喜欢在所有沙赫拉姆的Sheikhan。他以一所学校的学生的名义参加WSOP的比赛，在比赛中的他是个大嘴巴，而这是扑克历史的最珍贵的时刻之一。

　　菲尔Hellmuth

　　从长远来看，他是会使你赢得的玩家。而这没有任何一个场景的需要。

　　菲尔自身的光彩和上帝赐予的阅读能力是不争的事实，他看起来像髋河马，在鼻子旁边有一颗筹码大小的痣，每次下注的时候都发脾气，而最后他失去了筹码。尽管他戴有许多手镯，还有整齐的发型，但是，菲尔Hellmuth的形象不能不说是扑克界的尴尬。

　　杰米金

　　这些天来，打世界扑克系列赛跟购买彩票没有什么不同。杰米金不是一个好的扑克玩家。而现在面临的是各种各样的人都可获取加入“高赌注的扑克”比赛，如保罗Wasicka和丹尼尔Negreanu。

　　然而，看着杰米金·谨萨米Farha停止投注后才意识到这是KK。机管局认为这是职业扑克的最美丽，最可耻的时刻之一。即使Doyle Brunson的爷爷，一定以为现在是137年后的扑克打法，他看到这一切，是不好意思与WSOP冠军在同一房间。

　　汤姆Dwan

　　花了几个小时在黑暗的房间里，在电脑前的一个巨大的锅耙在线，汤姆Dwan剃光头，令人毛骨悚然的眼睛闪着兴奋，作为扑克英雄收取通行费。愉快的采访和友好戏谑证明，Dwan比起圣诞节时的社会技能已经略显不足。

　　其实，也没有必要无缘无故的恨“durrrr”。只是他似乎不够好，我们看到他的口袋里藏着一大堆的子弹。我们很可能只是嫉妒，一个21岁的神童，还没长出胡子，他却打扑克赢得了数百万。

　　5 Poker Stars We Love to Hate

　　Poker stars come in all different shapes and sizes, some have short tempers, some cry like babies, others are just plain creepy. Even though they have questionable antics around the poker table, you can’t help but love hating these guys and their ability to win big.

　　Tony G.

　　Mr. G is rude, mean-spirited, arrogant, obese and ugly. These are the qualities that make it hard for even a mother to love a son. Watching him hurl abuse at another poker player in an unprovoked racist attack is a bit much, especially when it is clear that the hand was a coin-flip.

　　Mike Matusow

　　So Mike Matusow has a lot of heart. This is what other poker pros seem to think. He has so much heart, in fact, that he couldn’t keep his emotions in after suffering a bad beat at the WSOP. ‘The Mouth’ blubbered like a baby in front of the cameras after his AK got donked by AQ. If poker makes you sadsies, Mikey, maybe you should consider becoming a professional plumber.

　　However, a lot of people like Mike. But nobody at all likes Shahram Sheikhan. Nobody. The two big mouths involved in a school boy name-calling fight at the WSOP has to be one of the most precious moments in poker history.

　　Phil Hellmuth

　　The players that occasionally suck out on you are the players that cause you to win in the long run. There is no need for a scene.

　　Phil’s self-proclaimed brilliance and god-given reading abilities don’t compensate for the fact that he looks like a pasty hippo trying to be hip, has a bigger ego than Lars Ulrich, sports a pot-sized mole next to his nose and throws a tantrum every time he loses a pot. Despite his numerous bracelets and neat haircut, Phil Hellmuth is an embarrassment to poker.

　　Jamie Gold

　　These days, playing the World Series of Poker is not that different to buying a lottery ticket. Jamie Gold is not a good poker player. And now the ass-faced weasel gets to join real pros like Paul Wasicka and Daniel Negreanu on ‘High Stakes Poker’。

　　However, watching Jamie Gold beg Sammy Farha to stop betting after realizing it was KK vs. AA must have been one of the most beautiful and shameful moments for professional poker. Even Grandpa Doyle Brunson, who must have thought he’d seen it all by now after 137 years of playing poker, was embarrassed to be in the same room as the former WSOP winner.

　　Tom Dwan

　　All the hours spent in a dark room in front of a computer raking in huge pots online have taken their toll on our unnervingly clean-shaven and creepy-eyed poker hero. Delightful interviews and friendly table banter have proved that Dwan has slightly less social skill than an overcooked Christmas.

　　Actually, there is no reason to hate ‘durrrr’。  He seems nice enough and it was great to see his pocket tens cracked Hellmuth’s bullets at the National Heads Up Poker. We’re probably just jealous that a 21 year old whiz kid who can’t grow a moustache has made his millions playing poker.
