Daniel Negreanu, Sammy Farha and Jamie Gold. I also like Gus Hanson, and Karate Mike as well.

i would say Ivey or Brunson are the best all-around players.

All the best current players play each other all the time at Full Tilt. Ivey, Townsend and Antonius are pretty much afraid of nobody in hold em and play eachother HU from time to time but they prefer to play weaker players. One of the three is probably the best NL holdem player in the world today but tough to say which one.

Stu Ungar. Any old pro that played against him will often say the same. Doyle and Chip have more than once paid him the highest compliments.

In the past : Stu Unger
Now: Daniel Negreanu

I like watching Negreanu play. His ability to read the cards is great. Always has been one of my favorites to watch.

How about a player for the future. One name I think will be mentioned alot in the new few years will be Gavin Griffin. He just won the EPT Grand final at Monte Carlo.
