I'm guessing I'll probably hear some famous names in this thread (that's cool), but as for myself, I've never even played poker in a casino (yet!). In the meantime, I'm honored to say that my toughest opponents so far are our cardschat regulars in the Poker Leagues and cardschat Platinum freerolls :)

I once played in a home game with a guy who was at one-time a fixture/commentator on 'Windy City Poker' during the poker boom. He was a friend of one of our regulars. That's about it.

Cheers!

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to play against any top player, not even from my country :)

I sat at a online final table with Ole Schemion in 2010, back then when he was already known in german online community but not as a live player, at least not for me. Every time I see him play now, it still reminds me of that day :)

Chino Rheem played a medium buyin ($200 or so) tournament by me about 11 years ago. He seemed like a formidable opponent, I remember he had a huge stack at final table.

I've played with dozens, online mostly before Black Friday, and offline. The one I remember most was an afternoon/evening with Annie Duke. Amazing mother of four.

I used to be a poker dealer, so I've dealt to many. I would usually befriend the obvious beast at the table and pick their brain on a break. :)

Back in the full tilt poker days, Chris Ferguson. I said to him, (Your M is getting low), he said, (what is M?).

I don't know, I don't follow the pros, and there is no one with whom I would like to play.

I played live against 3 Hungarian wsop champions in club tournaments (Zappa).
Péter Traply (Bélabácsi)
Ákos Kwaysser Valdemar (Luigi)
Péter Gelencsér (Iteopepe)

All three are exceptional talents, especially Luigi.
