If you were like me and still new to poker during the Moneymaker boom then you watched a shit ton of ESPN WSOP coverage. Back in the day it seemed to highlight more of the characters of the game. Maybe it's because back then there were more fun players vs todays robots.
I loved a lot of those highlighted "characters". Lusk, Havid Kahn, The Mouth, Sam Grizzle, etc. There are some players that I really did not like. I don't keep a list or anything but today I was watching some of 2005's coverage of Joe Haschem's run.
First off I know a lot of people loved Steve Dannenmann. He was goofy and a fun watch but the guy is a complete ding-bat and had more live reads than I can count. But he is not my most disliked WSOP player of all time.
I would like to hear who you dislike the most. But for me...
It's Scott Lazar
Ok I didn't do any background into this guy but I'm sure he's doing just fine. The guy is/a magician so that is the first strike against him. Plus his face has that punch-ability factor a little bit to a lot.
I don't know how many times this guy called on "the Gods" but it must have been in the hundreds during the tournament. I site this hand vs Matusow as the catalyst and shining example of my deep, 20 year distain for this man.
Plus if you remember his terribly loud scream after he drew out on The Mouth. I think it blew out the lapel mic everyone at the table had their ears ringing.
