For me, the poker star Daniel Negreanu. The holder of 6 bracelets of the world series of poker, a two-time winner of the World Poker Tour. . Player of the Year by versions of the magazine "Card Player" and the wsop in 2004 and 2013. "Player of the Decade" by GPI version. Member of the Hall of Fame poker since 2014.:icon_thum:congrats:
Stu Ungar was perhaps the greatest mind to have played the game. Drugs did him in however. A lot of these guys mentioned just work hard. It's not like they have some extreme talent outside of poker. They just play people who are worse than them most of the time.
Doyle Brunson . Branson is still considered one of the best cash games in the world and comfortably feels at the table for any kind of poker. Doyle's 'SuperSystem' is a basic tool for players.
I think that the best poker player is its creator! I'm sorry, I do not know his name! With great pleasure I would have shaken his hand! Well, from those who can be seen behind the television tables of the best tournaments of the planet, I would choose Vanessa Selbst! I believe that she is one of the best players of all time!
Phil Ivey for me,he proved that he can dominate in multiple games and he is really good,also Phill Hellmuth is very good but he doesnt have respect for other players so Ivey is best for me
my opinion that each time can to find out player which can beat better player and then he will become the best ,on this I think that there is no permanent best players
I think what era it is or was, changes every thing. I don't know that much about Unger but have read some articles on him and would have to put him in the top three. Others in top three would be Hellmuth and Negreanu. Also it would matter whether it was tournament or cash.
