Re: Where the heck is Negranu
Phil Ivey(best game is stud but one of the best nl also), Layne Flack, Howard Lederer(maybe for just holdem), Scotty N.(i put scotty for his all aorund tournament capabilities) but in no limit while he is successful and certainly capable of taking any tournament down. He does sometimes make mistakes at final tables that you wouldn't expect from a great player.(maybe its the alcohol) But might be one of the best at all around tournaments. Omaha hi-low might be his best event. Eric Seidel for holdem and few others. Eric Lindgen for holdem.

I'd hardly say Stuey is the best around. [/ QUOTE ] maybe you don't know enough about the guy. Here is an interesting article that will hopefully prove my point: stu ungar article

But, he *was* probably the best card player who ever lived, and the guy I'd draft #1 to play in a tournament if my life depended on him winning it. You can keep Gus Hansen.

No, not in my top 10, but in No Limit Hold'em, tournament style, he was undoubtedly the best that ever lived. No one will ever be able to argue with his record."
