Ivey is clearly the best player in the world. He's amazing at reading
hands and he can play any game you want. Omaha(no problem) Stud(pfft) Stud hi/lo(if you want to) Omaha hi/lo(go for it) NLHE(set your money on fire) PLHE(a slow burn) Mixed games(lose it 1 bet at time) Chinese poker(might as wear a blindfold). Ivey is clearly in a different class.
If it were just PLO or NLHE, I could say that durrr is probably just a behind ivey. I would love to see them in a
bankroll match. $50million buy in. Take it to the felt. blnids $2.5k/5k. That would be worth spending $50 on ppv to watch. What i think would give durrr some trouble is ivey can be just as reckless and has no fear.
While I love Gus Hansen and his super aggro style, he seems to tighten up quite a bit when playing nosebleed stakes especially on tv.
Hellmuth is probably the best NLHE tourney player. He takes more than his fair share of bad beats. Although since people are always trying to donk him, he can build huge stacks early.
Brunson it's really a shame he's pushing 80, I love seeing him smack these young guns around with the nuts lol.
Negrenau tremendous player although he can become a bit of a calling station.
