Poker and type

[StrawMan]

Any poker players here?

Some typings I've seen:
Phil Ivey (probably the best player overall atm): ISTP, sometimes INTP
Negreanu: ENxP
Matusow: ESTP
Hellmuth: ExTJ

In my opinion:
Phil Galfond ("OMGClayAiken"): INTP
Tom Dwan ("Durrrrr"): ENTP?

Some thoughts about functions:
Ti: probably the most useful function for poker. In my opinion Ti-users are inclined to improving their own playing style (their system), and also the system of reading other peoples hands, and altering their play accordingly etc.

Ni: probably good for thinking of new concepts, improving one's playing style.

Ne, Se: good for reading betting patterns, playing style and opponents' tells in live games.

Te: Probably quite similar than Ti when it comes to poker. Might be more inclined to specific situations and hands than long-term "perfected" systems thinking.

So what do you think are the best-fit types for poker?
How do different functions, and their strength, manifest in poker skills and playing style?
Types of popular poker players?


There was a poker thread in the archives, but it was mostly about Phil Hellmuth.

I have a bad habit of making all people I think are smart N's lol, I'm sorry S's, I don't mean it like that .

From your list:

Negreanu: ENFP. He's a real F if you think about it. He talks about vibes, he's always nice to people and doesn't say something just because it's true.

Matusow: EXTP. I was gonna say ENTP, but I'm not sure he has the logical practicality so many NT's have. I remember ESPN saying that he blew all his winnings on drugs and he didn't even have any. He was just trying to throw a good party. Enneagram type 7 I think.

Ivey: IXTP. lol I don't think he says enough for me to make an informed decision. I haven't seen much Ne from him though so I'm going to say ISTP.

Hellmuth: ENTJ. I think it's quite obvious actually, he has all the signs, even down to the anger issues

Galfond: Looks like an NF to me, I'll say INFP.

Sounds like an ENTP.

Negreanu- ENTP
Phil Hellmuth- I'd actually say ENFP.

No idea about the others.
