Who is the Greatest No Limit Holdem Player in the World

Best NL Hold Em tournament player right now.

 

Master P? wait, i did not read the title correctly, sorry.

 

The great Johnny Chan

 

sbrugby gets my vote.

 

I dont know if he is the greatest but I voted for Daniel Negreanu because he is my favorite.

 

no love for the professor..howard lederer?

 

chip reese is just flat out insane.

 

I'm kinda split between johnny chan & Phil Ivey (for tournament). But i'll give Ivey the nod overall, i'm just amaze at Ivey ability to read people & make solid play throughout.

One of my fav......

Doyle Brunson is like the Jack Nicholas of poker.

 

I like that Jesus guy with the hat. Never seen him play, but he looks fun. And I really don't like Phil Helmuth. He's really good but he seems like a total jackass.

 

He gets annoyed at suck outs, I can understand why he is that way, those are frustrating, you trap your opponent and they suck out......just pisses you off.


I like Daniel as the best.

Isn't poker just like other gambling? Luck.

 

Phil Ivey.

No greater poker face in the world then his.

He's just emotionless i dno how he does it

 

Luck's an important part of the game no doubt...but there's a reason why there are people whose sole profession is to play poker.

Many of the same people end up making it to the final rounds of poker tournaments every year, implying there's a lot of skill involved as well.

 

Exacty.

for as great as he is in tournaments, i'm utterly amazed at his inability to adjust to the cash game.

 

Johnny is the best.
I like Phil too but he hasn't won a major yet.
Helmuth is a joke.

 

nope. poker isn't played hand to hand, but rather over many hands. it's not making a read on hand one that will determine your success, but rather picking up on something that you can use later on.

it's more intuition and strategy than luck.

 

yep. btw, would you like join in our weekly poker night?
