Why Do Poker Players Love Jonathan Little?

After his third PGT title, a Reddit user named police36d started a conversation about Little’s recent success. This spurred in a few interesting responses that show why the poker community finds Little to be an admirable player:

crawsex: Finally, he had become Jonathan Regular-Sized.

ThatSoSwan: His videos were my gateway into taking Poker seriously. I’m glad to see him take down a title event, and prove that his knowledge and technique are more than just beginner level.

Inori92: What’s little got to prove, he’s got over 9m in live cashes lol

ThatSoSwan: I don’t disagree! But you look around here in this sub and he’s reviled as someone out of touch with the current state of the game.

The_Void_Reaver: People genuinely just don’t like him because he doesn’t look the part. He’s the poker world’s version of the dude who pulls up to play basketball in jeans and a hoodie and cooks you. Nothing gets your average player as riled up as getting embarrassed by someone they consider a dork.

mug3n: And he doesn’t insert himself into poker drama like a certain Poug Dolk or the Solve4Why dorks.

hatemakingnames1: There’s lots of players who won in the past who can’t win anymore. Someone who’s still winning has kept up with the game.

Schmocktails: He himself admits to not being on the same level as the famous tournament crushers.

NateJCAF: I’ve been on his PokerCoaching.com for a few years now and it has totally transformed my game, I actually make a profit now. And his approach is no nonsense, no ego, just good, sound, fundamental poker. Yeah, if there was one complaint I have about pokercoaching… use some of that money and hire a PLO coach, I would really love a cash/tournament masterclass course but built for PLO, with some of the stats breakdowns like in their advanced masterclass. I get like 99% of people play NLHE but throw other people who want to explore a different variant a bone here.

stratola: He’s such a good creator on YouTube. Practical advice every single time.

vollski: People give him crap but he keeps things simple and offers very effective advice for beginners / amateurs to level up. Good to see his recent wins.
