well here's my 5:
1. Irexes
2. Tenbob
Both of these are the same reason, I know they're good and I have been totally outplayed by both of them in CC tourneys, but I sucked out on Irexes
.
3. AG
Haven't actually played a ton of tourneys with him but considering he's always winning the buy-in leaderboard I figure he must be a decent player
.
4. Combu
Haven't seen him play but he shows an extremely deep understanding of tournament play in his posts here.
5. jaketrevvor
Hasn't been around the forums in a while, but one of the few who has out-LAGed me in a CC event. I'm pretty sure I knew he was on air with his 4-bet all-in but I wasn't calling with my 9 high
. But although a $3k cash doesn't in itself prove someone is amazing, he consistently did well in the CC events that I saw and plays a unique style really really well.
Honorable Mention: ChuckTs
Practically unexploitable. Seems in any situation he is able to instinctively know the best line to take no matter what the other guy does.
