My personal favorites are Tom Dwan and Daniel Negreanu. On terms of the best in the world though, I've got to give it to Phil Ivey. He's just unbelievable.

The brat does enough bragging about himself, don't no body need to help him sweel his already giant ego. Saw him last night in this years WSOP Day 3 and he was just spewing away his chips, and trying to bluff like a madman and getting cought. He finally got busted jj vs his 1010 by a player he said he was going to for sure beat for 100k in chips, bah. I mean yes the guy has 13 wsop bracelets, that is aswome and on paper sure could be considered the best (perhaps nl) player in the world. However he just puts on too much of a show for my liking, granted I love to watch his blowing up and ranting when he gets beat lol.

I'd say my fav is def the kid, danial negreanu especially because he is canadian and got some great strategy in that head of his. I enjoy watching high stakes on the television all the time, wish they had a station of nothing but poker. That would be aswome, and not be nitpicky with the hands it shows but actually run full day events through the day. I think the channel would never be off on my tv.

There are certainly alot of the greats out there, and perhaps many greats not known yet that could be part of this cc community grinding the tables everyday, just takes one big tourny win to get things going (since luck is part of poker, it could happen to anyone).

as of right now negreneau has had lots of success, especially this year he has done real well. Ivey is also another and also I would have to say Antonius. Those three guys are my top 3 that I would put on a allstar team. My poker idol on the other hand would be phil ivey, and my all time favourite gambler Archie Karas. Google him if you have no idea who he is. This guy is the definition of having balls and not letting money be an object. just an awesome down to earth guy to. probably GONNA START AN aRCHIE THREAD NOW

Definitely not the best player, but my idol would probably be Phil Galfond, I just love the philosophical approach he takes to poker. It is the exact opposite as how I think and I find seeing him play/listening to him think, really helps me in areas I struggle in.

Daniel Negreanu. I also like watching pretty much any of the shit talkers or guys that blow up when they lose.

I got to stick with Doyle, some of my favorite poker reads are from his experiences. If you haven't read it I highly recommend "poker wisdom of a champion" also previously entitled "according to Doyle" It is a poker book, that doesn't speak about how to play hands, or specific betting strategies. By far the best read up on poker I have ever experienced. NOT TO MENTION, we may not have the game of NLHE that we know today without Doyle, Amarillo Slim, and the rest of that little gang that really brought poker to its humble beginnings forty+ years ago when they started "the big game": what we now know as the WSOP.

The best player is Phil Ivey, even though i think his eyes are very strange.
Fav players are Doyle and Gus.
Cant stand Hellmuch, although his results speak for themselves so does he, sadly..
Tony G is just a foul mouthed bully who makes me feel sick every time he opens his mouth.

My favorite poker player is Daniel Negreanu so far. Not just because he is one of the best, but he also seems like very nice guy and his playing style seems pretty similar to mine (ofcourse much more better :D)

Then its Phil Ivey. This guy has gift from god. I dont even know how to call it, its just gift in so many ways.

Over all tournament play I guess I'd go with Ivey. NL Hold'em Tournaments for sure Hellmuth. Cash player ? There are quite a few good ones, don't think I could pick a certain one.

Who is your poker idol ?? Who is the best player on the world ??

I've got alot of respect for sam trickett I think he is one of the best players in the world. very different to ivy or hellmuth.
but he is fearless I've never seen anyone as fearless on a poker table than sam trickett...
he has the most WSOP cashes in one series to record - and on his way to becoming the richest ever poker player in history (or most winnings)

apart from that crazy gambling guy who made 40 million. lol

Ivey has proved to be the best holdem player, he just needs the no limit bracelet to confirm it, if he won the main event he would be the best in almost everyones eyes. My favourite is negreanu and dwan, which explained my 1st online name: kid.durr :)
