Best Tournament Player

[Shumkoolie]

Erik Seidel has been a top player for a long time. He is an old-timer who has been able to adapt his game to the new breed of poker players (young and aggressive).

I voted for Seidel as well. He's been able to remain relevant in a game where all the great players are young.

Since Fedor Holz isn't in the list, I will go with KidPoker as well.

Fedor's not bad for a retired guy.

I like Daniel as well, but I had to vote for Seidel.

Igor Kurganov, his play also likes to me, but best of all is Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu

For me, Daniel Negreanu is an example of how to behave at the table and how a good poker player should play.

 

[VizziVizo]

Phil Ivey is the best, but certainly he shouldnt play craps)

 

[Jester36rus]

Cannot pass thru. He is alive, not such many others. And successful of cause, but his charisma is more than his success.

 

[LifeLab]

I know they're not on the list but my favorites are Chris Ferguson and Adam Cunningham who are more academic but have both done very well. In my opinion Daniel Negreanu is an outstanding player who's very social and is fun to watch. Unfortunately, I just don't have those attributes so I like and appreciate the more theoretical approach.

 

[Marmot66]

Daniel Negreanu is THE best.

here no matter who you love and who is the best
everyone likes someone and has one favorite
It will be good to have friends and know them personally then judge them

 

[ianleel]

kid poker is one of the best but phil hellmuth is number 1

 

[Shrek24]

Man. What a great question. Best tourney player right now I'd say Kid Poker. He is the best I've ever seen besides Stu Unger. Cash games. I gotta go with either Tom Dwan or Phil Ivey.

I like the way Erik Seidel plays in tournaments. And Daniel Negreanu is just a special player.

Where is Annette Obrestad? or Victoria Coren?

You think that they are the best tournament players?

 

[John Bor]

[cheeeer]

You think that they are the best tournament players?

You think not?
Oh right you're talking about tournament kings.

 

[oriole]

In my opinion Phil Ivey is the GOAT cash game and tournament player.

 

[PokerNuts01]

In my opinion Phil Ivey is the GOAT cash game and tournament player.

He's a real gambler

 

[8emaragas]

Jason Mercier for sure!

 

[BigJamo]

Not sure why Jason Mercier didnt make the list...

+1

 

[evaldas]

My vote for Daniel Negreanu

 

[Amdrius]

Kid Poker (Daniel N.) Your opinion please?

Of the proposed candidates Daniel Negreanu personally for me is number one. But in the list I would include one more famous but already virtually forgotten player - Isildur, who proved that a talented person is talented in everything, and won several years ago 2 stingy tournaments in a row for pokerstars, including MainInvent.

I like the way Erik Seidel plays in tournaments. And Daniel Negreanu is just a special player.

I agree with you. I really like the game of Eric Seidel and the behavior at the poker table. Not that Phil Hellmuth ...

 

[vitalicharniak]

Daniel Negreanu
To date, he is the best of the best poker players on the planet.
