Hold’em with Holloway, Vol. 69: Is Your Favorite Poker Pro Left- or Right-Handed?

Be forewarned, this week’s Hold’em with Holloway has nothing to do with poker strategy. Instead, I’m using the column to share some completely meaningless information with you regarding some of your favorite poker players.

Over the course of my six years live reporting for PokerNews, I would occasionally take note of which poker pros were left-handed versus right-handed. I’d simply turn over my notepad and jot their name down in one of two columns as they bagged and tagged their chips at the end of the night.

Part boredom, part curiosity led to this lengthy list, which I thought I’d share with you today. As you’ll see, there were many more righties than lefties, though arguably the world’s most popular poker pro, Daniel Negreanu, was in the latter category.

Who knows, maybe one day there will be some sort of scientific correlation between being a successful poker player and one’s dominant hand? In the meantime, enjoy the novelty of my lists. Oh, for the record, the lists don’t take into account any of the players being ambidextrous.
