who do you think best poker players?

[smpolak]

I think the best poker players are the ones who stand the test of time. The younger players today have new skills that the older ones have not. Gary Unger is my hero though.

It's interesting that people still think that Tom Dwan is the best player. Maybe he was the best NL holdem and Omaha cash player, but not in 2017.

Best NLHE HU player: OTBRedbaron/Ben Sulsky
Best Online NLHE 6-max player: Otbredbaron
Best live tournament player: Fedor Holz among others
Best allaround player: Phil Ivey
Best allaroung online player: Viktor Blom

don't discount phil

Fedor Holz is a well-rounded poker player, heads-up, cash games and tournaments, he has it all at a young age. But he's retiring gradually from the poker scene.

Legends like Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu are great obviously. I have some doubts on Phil Helmuth lol, even with all the bracelets, I would say he's good not great.

Honorable mentions to Dan Coleman (tournaments) and Doug Polk (cash games)

all are good but you can't deny tje bracelets Phil has they don't come in cracker jack boxws
