Best poker player.

Who do you think is the best poker player? I think it will have too be between Phil Ivey, or Daniel Negreanu.

I like O'Leary, he played a tremnedous game @ 2007 wsop awesome.
i remeber watching the tourney on t.v, it was just great.

Yeah i was watching that today, where he came back too winning and he was shortstacked. You go to TxTech? I live in Texas too.

nope srry, its short for texas technician, i work IT.(network tech)

if this is based on opinions...

Tuan Le.

ohhh ok sorry about that txtech.

I agree with Daniel Negreanu he is certainly inspirational at times!

Yeah he is very good at reading what people have, and makes great laydowns as well.

Barry Greenstein cuz he has been in more final tables than any other and gives money to lots of chrities
and overral Phil Ivey cuz he seems hes always making calculations and loking for tells or otherwise he enjoys moving hes eyes alot

Ivey and Negreanu

AG followed by Phil Ivey

Allen Cunningham

Because I got here ahead of Baby Humvee, Gus Hansen. Otherwise, I WOULD have said Allen Cunningham.

How about JC Tran?

V,
Got picks on Rush St.P v. Kos, and Hederson v. Rampage?

Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Patrik Antonius, Brian Townsend

i go w/daniel negraneau. i am always impressed when i watch him on tv, and he stares at someone to read them. starts talking, and eventually, rattles off what 2 cards they have...and he is right so often.

I Think Helmuth has more bracelets than all those guys added up? Not my favorite player but, none-the-less the most proficient at WSOP.

Well yeah hellmuth has alot more bracelets, but hes actually played longer too. Hellmuth is good, but i dont think hes as good as everyone says he is. Anyone can get 10 bracelets if they have played for a long time like him.

Well, if ANYONE can win 10 bracelets, why have only Johny Chan, and Texas Dolly matched that, esp. since they've been playing longer the Hellmuth?(actually, a lot longer) Chan was who Phil beat HU for his 1st, and at the time Chan was going for a 3peat. BTW, Hellmuth now has 11, out front all by himself.

^^this. Not only does he have the most bracelets, he holds the all time record for cashes in WSOP events.

GSP and Rampage at the moment. Kind of biased this time though.

ROFL i don't think so buddy msg back when you've played for as long as he has and see if you've even got in a tournament for 1.

I'll take the other side if you want to put five bucks on each (?)

I'll get back to you on this soon.

NEGREANU for meeeeeeee........

He also holds the record for final tables. It's like 58 or something insane.

Currently its Jerry 'Jerry Jerry' Yang

ever wise... it's stu ungar hands down... head and shoulders above the rest, man woulda loved to seen him playing with these guys today

Well the best poker player alive would have to be Phil Hellmuth. I mean look at what he has accomplished so far and how long he has left to build to those accomplishments. You could argue that several other players are just as good and you would be correct! Poker is not a sport such as Basketball or Baseball where skill dominates! Poker is a game that involves luck. Which means any donkey with no clue how to play can beat the best at anytime. With this being considered I am the best! LOL!! No wait you are the best!!! Okay we all are the best! Good enough answer for you I surely hope so! Good luck at the tables Ladies and Gents.

my fav gus hansen, phil ivey and allan cunningham a goos question should be most exciting

The best no limit tourney player of alltime was stuey ungar, in cash games its chip reese, its pretty simple..Tj has 59 major wins(respect) stuey was a phenom though,as far for hellmouth I cant respect a guy who cries over evey bad beat thats not a champion thats a punk, ungar 3 wsop Me titles, reese 30 yrs cash game king.......

you do realize when Stu won those titles the fields were just a tiny bit smaller. The question is the best player not if you like him or not because he cries. Now if Stu would of lived then yes maybe he would be better tourney player then Hellmuth now but right now as it stands Hellmuth is the best tourney player hands down. HELLLLLLO 11 braclets, Most final table, Most cashes.....

Phill Hellmuth hands down, 11 bracelets??? craziness

but as for my favorite???

ALLEN CUNNINGHAM

I like Allen also,


so favorite hmmm.

I would say mkind is my favorite and yes I know most of you have no idea who this is so I will share.
