Re: top ten players
listened to the Rounders commentaries today - one by the directors, one by the 4 WSOP champions...including Johnny Chan.
in both cases, both Johnny Chan and the directors said this was a bad portryal of Erik Seidel - Phil H. called him one of the most underrated poker players in the world, and even the directors admitted it was rough in the way it portrayed Erik, but they needed that setup of flopping the nut st8 and checking it down all the way as forshadowing of what Matt Damon's character would do later. - so leave Erik in the top 10, you bastard.

Re: top ten players
i think kungfu just meant that if he couldnt think up anything better than erik "seidel" seidel, he should have only had 9 players on the list. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: top ten players
No one complained about Dutch being on the list?

Re: struggling individual
Annie Duke??? thats like perhaps the most preposterous thing ive ever seen posted here since some donkeys on MTT said calling an all-in with AK(uns) on the first hand was "automatic".
She has like one bracelet. And it is in 8 or B a very hard game but also one of only avg popularity and hence competition. Her bluff in last yrs main event was so desperate and misplaced that she got called by ace-high. She just isnt a top 50 NLH player. Nlh is definitely the game of choice and more importantly $$$ these days so.. MY TOP TEN: 1)CHIP REESE 2)DANIEL NEGREANU 3) TED FORREST AND IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER... CHRIS FERGUSON GUS HANSEN DOYLE BRUNSON JOHNNY CHAN Phil hellmuth PHIL IVEY JOHN JUANDA howard lederer (wait thats 11, lol) HONORABLE MENTION-- HARRINGTON,MEN,CHAU GIANG, SCOTTY, NGUYEN,and if yu want a token women JEN HARMON is 30x the player Duke is... |
Re: top ten players
Here's the real list:
no particular order (current, not all-time) Ted Forrest Daniel Negreanu John Juanda Layne Flack Howard Lederer Johnny Chan Phil Hellmuth Gus Hanson Phil Ivey Barry Greenstein Others: Carlos Mortenson, John Hennigan, TJ Cloutier, Annie Duke, Doyle Brunson, Martin Dekniff |
Re: top ten players
My list:
1.TJ Cloutier 2.TJ Cloutier 3.TJ Cloutier 4.TJ Cloutier 5.TJ Cloutier 6.TJ Cloutier 7.TJ Cloutier 8.TJ Cloutier 9.TJ Cloutier TJ Cloutier has the perfect combination of luck and skill. Howard Lederer has enough skill, but not enough luck to win as a 5-1 favorite. Johnny Chan also a man with mad skills but suffers mad suckouts too often. Gus Hanson, Phil Ivey are still rookies, still needing to perfect the art of avoiding suckouts. Doyle and Chip used up too much of their luck in the old days and don't have enough left to avoid critical suckouts today. Barry Greenstein will make the list when he learns to look befuddled while holding the nuts. Seidel gets on my list when he learns to walk and talk like a Texan. |
Re: top ten players
Where has Paul Phillips been lately? Probably soaking it up in some sunny place with his millions of dollars, (Lucky F'ER!). Yes I am jealous.
The point of my post, uh why isn't he on the top ten currently? He's had a good two years, no bracelet yet, but he will one day. It looks like I am waxing his car, but I think he is a top ten player currently... |
Re: top ten players
Paul Phillips??
That rich guy who had a few solid WPT showings?? Are you joking>>?? If he is top 10 does that mean that jerkoff Ron "ive been successfull at everything blah blah blah Rose" is top 20 in your book?? Um lets at least make the guy have 1 bracelet until he is considered top 10 OK!! Phillips would get killed in a cash game with Doyle, Chip, Barry and Forrest..He knows it and even if you asked him he would tell you he isnt really that close to the ELITE of the sport; who coincidentally might play the WSOP and some WPT tourneys, but concentrate on side games at Bellagio where they can make 10x as much $$ swindling dumb Texan enron execs and SNL bankers who swindled the public....seems like divine justice too me. |
Re: top ten players
Gus Hansen and TJ seem to be missing.

Re: top ten players
I have no personal problem with Mr. Boyd. He actually gave me some no-limit lessons many months ago (via hand histories and e-mail). He was very cool about it and gave me some solid advice. I'm just trying to be honest here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think Strangelove9's list pretty much hits the nail on the head. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: top ten players
It's pretty stupid to nickname him "chip" then. It's not like there's a lack of chips in the poker world.

Re: top ten players
Why are guys like Chau Giang and David Gray always left off these lists?
And come on... Phil Hellmuth? Layne Flack? Martin Dekniff? You're joking, right? ~D |

Give me a break. well seeing how everyone has expressed who they believe to be the 10 best players in poker, I shall do the same. My top 10 players... 1) Phil Hellmuth [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] 2) Doyle Brunson 3) Chip Reese 4) Johnny Chan 5) Berry Greenstein 6) Ted Forrest 7) Phil Ivey 8) Howard Lederer 9) Men "The Master" 10) Gus Hansen Others: Chau Giang, Marcel Luske, Layne Flack, Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Scotty Nguyen, Dan Harrignton, Chris Ferguson, and for the ladies... Jennifer Harmon who I believe to be the BEST lady poker player. Sorry Annie. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |
Re: top ten players
Chau should be on everyones list. He has quietly done great in the biggest cash game around.

Re: top ten players
Thanks for being the only enlightened soul that I saw that acknowledges T.J.'s superiority. He is the best poker player on Earth. I can't vouch for his luck, but his skill is unbelievable.
|
Re: top ten players
Heh. Dutch Boyd?
My top ten, in no particular order. Phil Hellmuth Daniel Negreanu Howard Lederer Phil Ivey Chip Reese Barry Greenstein Johnny Chan Ted Forrest Doyle Brunson John Juanda Others: Dan Harrington, Marcel Luske, Devilfish Ulliot, T.J. Cloutier, Julian Gardner. |

[/ QUOTE ] The 1 person I forgot to mention (which is pretty pathetic because Cloutier is such a great poker player), however I wouldn't go as far as saying "he's the best poker player on Earth". Cloutier is definitaly in my top 15. [ QUOTE ] Others: Dan Harrington, Marcel Luske, Devilfish Ulliot, T.J. Cloutier, JULIAN GARDNER. [/ QUOTE ] Everyone is entitled to there own opinions, but do you really believe Gardner to be a notable mention? |
Re: top ten players
Agree about Chau. He and Chip Reece are guys who could be amazingly successful in tournaments but they decide to make the real bucks in the Big Game.
My list is divided into three parts. Cash Gamers Chau Giang Chip Reece Tournament Players Phil Hellmuth Dan Harrington Howard Lederer All Around Johnny Chan John Juanda Daniel Negreanu Doyle Brunson Ted Forrest Honorable mention: Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and Layne Flack |
Re: top ten players
Honestly, I think that we never have heard of, and never will hear of the top ten best poker players in the world, probably because they want it that way. I mean, of course, the heavy hitters like doyle brunson, chip reese and johnny chan we all know, but if you've read Negranu's site, one of the things he says is that a lot of these "big names" you see on tv tournaments are broke and getting staked. If you want to find the best poker players in the world, I think you're gonna find them in the Bellagio, or in some of the big games in Europe making real money, not spending 3 days in a tournament trying to win half the money they could in big cash games.

[/ QUOTE ] Aside from Gardner's (obvious) 2nd place finish in WSOP 2002's Main Event, he has cashed every year he's played in the Main Event, has numerous European titles, and many top five cashes between 2000 and 2002. Plus, he's young -- full of potential. And I just love his play. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just a note - add Carlos Mortensen to my list, as well. |
