According to my sources in Stockholm, the nominations for the first Nobel Prize in poker are as follows. Sklansky for the gap principle, Sklansky for "the system", Brunson for his chapter on NLHE in "Super System", Hellmuth for eagles, lions, jackal, mice, and elephants to represent poker players, Hellmuth for the top ten hands, and Hellmuth for the theory of capping preflop with medium pairs in limit holdem.

"Hellmuth for the theory of capping preflop with medium pairs in limit holdem."

If we're judging on how much money each concept has made me, I would say Hellmuth.

Your forgetting Roy Rounder for finding a way to sell $50 .pdf file containing "avanced strategies" you could read for free at RPG and 2+2, and hear on cable TV.

What about the guy that invented chips? Remember that he is a genious.

Bill Fillmaff should be on that list.

I've made billions of dollars value calling with my nuts.
