The best of all time without a doubt Doyle Brunson. Multiplayer cash game and tournament player, Daniel Negreanu once said that Doyle is the link between old poker and new poker. A player who has written many books about his experiences at the tables. He is the author of the great phrase "there were players at a table that you could beat them without looking at your cards".
The best of today and the one I identify with the most is Erik Seidel. A player with a very low profile but who has more than 100 wsop cashes and 9 bracelets.
Someone you see at a table and say "this skinny guy is going to beat me", and not only does he beat you, but he leaves you bare.
He has an incredible read of the game just like Phil Ivey, and he behaves like the chameleon, he knows when to be aggressive, when to be passive, when to double up, when to fold. If you see in general the last tournaments in very difficult that you do not see Erik in the 3 final tables.
And well on this I can not stop citing Ivey, Hellmuth and Negreanu. Although for achievements worldwide the best is undoubtedly Hellmuth, followed by Ivey and then Seidel. Negreanu comes a little behind in achievements but it happens that his charisma makes him a player that you want to always win at a table, in addition to being a great player.
Then there is a very low-profile player who is Scotty Nguyen, very little named and a great player.
And the one I love is Sam Farha, the typical player with a cigarette in his mouth, he has the face of a player who knows everything at a table, a lot of experience, a great player.
Of the newer players, the one that I liked the most and who decided to leave poker to prioritize his family after having had great profits is Jason Mercier.
Of my Argentine compatriots, the one I like the most and I consider the best is Ivan Luca better known as "Negrin", a very cold and very patient player, his style for me is similar to that of Erik Seidel. A great game analyst who can sit down and play as equals at a table with the best in the world.
Likewise, I also believe that the great players are those who manage to stay active over the years. There are many players who manage to win big tournaments but then for many reasons they disappear.

Justin Bonomo, Negreanu, Ivey, Hellmuth, are some famous names in poker. But who is your favorite, and what does he do that catches your eye?
I've already answered this in other topics but I don't get tired of telling myself the only one, the best is the unequaled Daniel Negreanu, the guy is a beast, charismatic, he knows how to read his opponents like no one else, with that little conversation of his, I don't know him personally, I would like one day to have this opportunity, I wouldn't understand anything he says, but it doesn't matter, just being next to such a beast would be a prize.:)(y)

I kind of like a player at the moment that I watch on YouTube called easywithaces Fenton hand I think his name is but don’t quote me on the spelling lol he’s just a pokerstars pro but I really do rate the way he plays and he seems to reach the FT a lot! I also rate lex veldhaus probably spelled wrong aswell but those are my favourites I just enjoy their style of play

❤️🙏

I've played with someone nicknamed Hellmuth, he was beatable. I think I'm going to WSOP next year.

I'm not a fan of these hold'em savants.

Poker is not just holdem in my book. The people that can play multiple games very well always get my vote over the holdem savants.

David Peters , Jason Koon, , Stephen Chidwik, Addomo Bonomo, Kenny and Ivey have to be in my top players list. There’s a few Big tournaments that these guys haven’t crushed.

I think Phil Ivey is one of the biggest ever, D. Negs, and Tom Dwan is a great talent, P. Hellmuth's score list just needs to be viewed.
Alex Foxen is the hottest lately. Online Chris Moorman is one of the biggest legends.

Today, in my subjective opinion, Viktor Malinovsky or "limitless", under this nickname he plays online.

There is no best poker players. It just depends on luck . But there is popular poker players , because of amazing personality. I love Daniel Negreanu(y)(y)

Hi, Everybody! In this World, as and in Poker, the all is relatively, I think... Hence, by my opinion, impossible to call only an one Best player...
Because, I'm repeating one time more, the all is relatively!..

Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan for me, i like them cause they are the most aggressive players ever.
Tom Dwan put the craziest bluffs at High Stakes Poker tv show as well.
