Default Re: WSOP All-Time Player Rankings

[ QUOTE ]
I think Jesus is the number 1 WSOP player in the first 5 years of the 21st centuary, which should be enough to put him higher.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't disagree with him being the best player of the last 5 years, but his overall career is not as impressive as the players above him. Not as many bracelets, not as many top 3 finishes, not as many final tables in the championship.

Jay Heimowitz won his last two bracelts in Senior events, if I'm not mistaken. He shouldn't be that high.

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. Only one of his bracelets is a Seniors bracelet. Heimowitz also has a very impressive record in the championship event, making back to back final tables in 80 and 81. He also has 12 top 3 finishes. He is very accomplished, and IMO, has a better overall career than Jesus.

[ QUOTE ]
Top 8, IMO, should be Hellmuth, Chan, Stuey, Brunson, Ferguson, Seidel, Men, Johnston.

It's really hard to judge the likes of Moss and Baxter.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree on both counts. It is VERY difficult to place Moss. It looks like we have an identical top ten players, we just place them a little differently.
