Best Poker Player Without A WSOP Bracelet?

[KramerTM]

Gazes? Laak? Esfandiari? D'Agostino? Cassidy? Discuss amongst yourselves.

[DDH]

Esfandiari has a bracelet.

[BlackAces]

Marcel Luske or Gus Hansen.

[TomHimself]

hansen 1st person that comes to mind

[/ QUOTE ]

Luske is a good choice. Did not realize he did not have a bracelet. I was more impressed with this guy's play than anyone else's in the 2004 broadcast.

You deserve a bracelet for figuring out who this is supposed to be.

Never would have guessed he doesn't have one. Kind of shocked. He certainly is up there.

[Python49]

The answer is Marcel Luske, do you see why?

Though I do like your answer.

Chau Giang has like three, doesn't he?

Gus Hansen would be #2 on my list, but for the #1 best player who hasn't won a WSOP bracelet, there is only one name:

Him (http://billfillmaff.planetstacked.gamespy.com/worldwidechamp.shtml)


Barron Vangor Toth

Does Erick Lindgren? He has to be really considered, as he has had great success on the WPT and in some cash games.

Thanks. Very helpful. I love posts in threads with zero contribution.

Not only was "Discuss amongst yourselves." annoying and cliché, it was also a bald faced lie, as you are taking part in the discussion. Do you see why?

Ok, so you don't have a bracelet. That's about 23,567 players less that can be El Diablo. I'm getting close to know who you are.

This guy is it! (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=22401)

Prahlad won a bracelet in 2003.

Wow, this guy has been on a tear lately. Very impressive. Someone needs to teach him how to play short-handed though. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Ulysses]

This guy is a close second to me. He has one of the top major tourney in-the-money percentages in the world.

Best tourney player? (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=29364)

You think if we sent in a cropped hot tub picture that they'd post it up there?

I was only counting players who were of age to play in the WSOP. If you included everyone, of course JB would be #1.

[ QUOTE ]
Gazes? Laak? Esfandiari? D'Agostino? Cassidy? Discuss amongst yourselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ugh, limited to this group? I think Esfandiari has a bracelet but my order of best to worst would be:

Cassidy - D'Agostino - Esfandiari - Gazes - Laak

Making Laak an option here is like rating William "Refrigerator" Perry as a running back. And yes, I know he played running back on several occasions. Just as Laak has been known to play poker on several occasions.

[That guy]

Vince Van Patten and it's not close

[A_Junglen]

Phil Gordon

[MDBLakers]

Most of the good players have been mentioned but here are some more.

Alan Goehring
Andy Bloch
Paul Phillips
Chris Bigler
Julian Gardner
Paul Malgriel

[Quicksilvre]

I forgot all about him. He's pretty good.

[Quicksilvre]

Don't know, but Hansen, Phil Gordon, Paul Phillips, Erick Lindgren, David Oppenheim, and Marcel Luske are my top six (no order). At first I wanted to add Paul Darden, but he has one already (http://www.pokerpages.com/tournament/result1730.htm).

Interestingly, many of the players who would be on this list--Violette, Annie Duke, Greenstein, Liebert--won bracelets all at once last year.

[BillFranklin]

Eli Elezra, one of the best players around.

[TheBlueMonster]

none of the above.

[MegaBet]

I'm sure if stanzee was here, he'd say it was him /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Ed Miller.

I'd like to cast my vote for "nobody who has participated in this discussion is in any way qualified to give an opinion on the origional question". There should be a forum where people simply post long strings of WPT players names, rather than go through all the effort of putting together sentences.

Does Lederer have a bracelet?

I thought he didn't have any...am I wrong?

If so, when did he win them and in what event?

2000 Omaha8
2001 Deuce to Seven Draw

[burningyen]

I vote Paluka.

Wait, you're not implying that Mr. Gazes is suddenly being listed based on the fact that he was on television a few weeks ago are you? Surely he only got put on the lists after careful consideration of his all-around game.
