Top 10 Professional Poker Players of All Time

[acidburnfx]

People have carried different perspectives on the topic. It's hard measure a poker player by their speed, strength, or stamina. You have to measure them through their wit and how they make their decisions. So, with that in mind, take skill into consideration, as well as a few other factors including reputation, bankroll management and money won to create your list of the top 10 professional poker players of all time.

Let’s get started! Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein, Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, John Juanda, Phil Hellmuth and Johnny Chan.

If I made a list, then the names of the pros would be the same as yours. It's really 10 of the greatest players. But the eleventh player, I would add Dan Harrington. This is a man whose books taught a whole generation of players.

But generally speaking for tournament players, here’s my top 10:

1. Phil Ivey
2. Daniel Negreanu
3. Fedor Holz
4. Justin Bonomo
5. Erik Seidel
6. Phil Hellmuth
7. Chris Ferguson
8. Dan Colman
9. Doyle Brunson
10. Johnny Chan

You did say ALL TIME, right?
If so, leaving out Stu Ungar is unforgiveable.

Oops. Yes, how STUpid of me to leave Ungar off my list.

He’s definitely top 3. It’s a shame he couldn’t stay away from the nose candy. Woulda been cool seeing him compete during the poker on TV era.

 

[Whaevoz]

Johnny Moss would probably edge out a few of the previously mentioned players as well.

I remember that Chris Moneymaker and Sam Farha had a very strong image. Chris, for being the first online poker player to win a world championship, in addition to promoting poker worldwide and Sam that used a cigarette erased in the mouth during the game and did not smoke.
