Who loves themselves the most?

[BeerMoney]

There seems to be a few people around here who think a lot of themselves. We know DSklansky thinks highly of himself, but I think Paul Phillips is starting to show him what's up.

What do you guys think?

You're not going to take this lying down, are you david?

I suspect both david and I would acknowledge his superiority in this arena.

David may actually love himself more than you love yourself, Paul, but when it comes to just being plain tickled pink over your own brilliance, I'd have to give you the edge there.

Perfectly characterized; I am bound to accept.

I recently posted a question on rgp asking who has the biggest ego as far as their opinion of themselves regarding poker related thinking. I believe I named myself, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Weideman, Gary Carson, Russ Georgiev, Howard Lederer, Mike Caro, and a few others. But a glaring omission was Paul Phillips. So I correct that now. Remember I am not defining ego to be the difference between their opinion of themselves and the truth (By that standard, I would obviously come in last, leaving the epic battle between Russ and Phil.) Rather I want you to rate the absolute value of their opinion of themselves, regardless of it's accuracy.

I wish I could speak highly of myself, but of course I can't without lying.

without a doubt...I love myself the most out of anyone on the forum or in the poker world today.

probably 9 or 10 times a day at least if I'm bored....

Russ Georgiev by a long shot.

The rest of the field is known to the Poker masses as a result of TV, books, tournament success or legend. That in itself can be somewhat of a fuel, as the public acknowledgement in itself is an opiate. It's also a bit of a neccessity if you have something to sell, to promote yourself using your resume as a means of marketing yourself.

Russ Georgeiv. Who the hell outside of maybe a few folks 20 years ago ever heard of him, and did they really?. His reknown is from his own claims and posts on a public message board that took on a life of their own. He did a better job of promoting himself than Phil, as he had no documented accoplishments to back his ego. Russ, an unknown, tells the world how great he is, posts a few strategy threads and calls everyone a cheater. You have got to be really hungry to tell the world how great you are with virtually no interested market, yet somehow he created a bit of a niche for himself on RGP. That my friends, is an ego with a mission.
