best "staredown eyes" in poker?

In the 'John Juanda' profile Daniel put up not too long ago there was a discussion about whether it was more intimidating to be stared down by Juanda or Ivey. Daniel took the side of Juanda, while many other posts with Ivey.Here are two pictures, was curious to see the results...

I know that of course it is Juanda's decision, but I always wonder why he wears sunglasses at final tables. His stare is so awesome, why the heck would you want to cover it up?

It's probably a tossup, but in another thread Daniel made a good argument for JuandaIvey is more of a quiet intensity, while Juanda is simply fiercer looking (lol)

if I lay my nutz down on the table it would stop them from staring

Ivey would be scary.But Juanda I think would really make me wonder if I really wanted to do what I thought I wanted to do.

You mean 7 8 on the 6 9 10 board?

Wow, you really nailed it on the head.

That's a perfect description of Juanda's stare. I'd be afraid to bluff him because his staredown really makes it look like he can read everything you are thinking.

I am aware that it will not be a popular choice on this forum, but I would choose Howard Lederer over both these guys.

LOLI think I'd be scared to piss by either one. I'd lay down pretty much everything looking at that.

I actually prefer the first one as far as scariness goes.

Juanda can make a look like he wants to cut you with a knife sometimes when he stares at you

Juanda's stare is just sick, Its much more intimidating than Iveys.Phil's stare is just an icy glare that looks cool but just doesnt do anything for meAnd the poster that said Howard's stare is even worse almost hit that one perfect....watch some clips from the 2003 WSOP for that one

I'm gonna have to write in a vote here and go with Carlos Mortensen. Watching him on TV made me want to deal myself a hand and then fold it. Don't get me wrong, Juanda and Ivey would scare the bejeezus out of me too, but Carlos just looks more crazy when he stares.

Raymer wins

[MapleLeafs 142]

Dan Harrington's stare is icy.

wow.. does that make me gay for looking at another mans eyes for longer than 2 seconds? lolAnd Howard wins, hands down.

I agree with Juanda and Ivey being more intimidating, but I would feel really uncomfortable with lederer's stare. Juanda and Phil stare at you really intense, but Howard just rests his head in his hand and looks at you. It's like Juanda and Phil are really trying to intimidate you but Howard is actually reading you and it makes you afraid to move at all.

Remember, Juanda started playing cards in America before he learned English. What an absolutely fantastic way to learn to read people. His handicap of not knowing the language made him rely entirely on external signals, and I would wager that he is the absolute best at extracting information from a stare down.

I agree that Howard's stare is more intimidating especially when you consider his size as compared with JJ and Ivey. Does anyone remember the guy hiding in his hood when Howard was trying to decide whether to call a raise or not?
