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.

Quote:

Ciarin O'Leary faced off against almost 3000 other professionals, and at the end of this massive slugfest, was the last man standing. After three days the game was becoming one of grueling attrition, where stamina was becoming as much a factor as luck or talent. In the end the 24 year old O'Leary only had to overcome Paul Evans to take the third bracelet of the 2007 campaign. (2007 WSOP Event 3 - No Limit Holdem $1,500)

ohhh ok sorry about that txtech.

#7 16th July 2007, 12:56 PM

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

#8 16th July 2007, 12:58 PM

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

#9 16th July 2007, 8:52 PM

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

#10 16th July 2007, 9:06 PM

Ivey and Negreanu

#11 16th July 2007, 9:07 PM

Allen Cunningham

#14 16th July 2007, 11:14 PM

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?

#16 16th July 2007, 11:23 PM

Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Patrik Antonius, Brian Townsend

#17 16th July 2007, 11:28 PM

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.

#18 16th July 2007, 11:31 PM

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.

#19 17th July 2007, 3:43 AM

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.

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

#23 17th July 2007, 2:14 PM

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.

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

Currently its Jerry 'Jerry Jerry' Yang

#29 18th July 2007, 5:14 PM

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

#30 18th July 2007, 5:31 PM

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.

#31 18th July 2007, 7:01 PM

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

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.....
