Favorite Player / Best Player...
Do you guys have favorite poker players? Who do you think the best player in the world is?
I used to think Phil Ivey was the best in the world, but they way Daniel Negreanu has been playing this year, I have to give him my vote... at least for tournament play. |

Sorry, but my favorite had to still be Doyle Brunson, he is in fact the man.
The best right now had to be Daniel Negraneu, hands down running away with it. |

Action Dan
For the best player, I'm going to to with Dan Harrington. Final table two years in a row with fields that large ... amazing.

I used to love watching Phil play at the Taj before he moved to Vegas. What a class act and terrific player. He absolutely has no fear. Too bad he isn't a better tournament player.
I like the way Gus plays, because he's so unpredictable, but I respect Phil or Howard the most.

Get your head out of yous ass please. Sure he has had a slow tourney year this year. Where do you think Juanda or Negreanu will be this time next year? Runs in cycles. Ivey is fearless and imo has plenty braclets to come.

Daniel Negreanu is my fav. Although he may not be Gary Carson's favourite.

The Lederer Mob
I like Annie Duke. I also like Howard Lederer. I have no idea why. I guess I like there style, and hey, Annie is cute! heh. BTW - She would kick my ass so hard in any game that it is not even funny.

You think she's cute? I think she looks like a devil or imp or something.
Lederer is a good player, the guy is stone cold, n emotion at all. I think he is actually a little TOO tight though, if that is posible.

Best
If I needed one player to win a large tournament right now I would take Daniel Negreanu followed by John Juanda. For cash games, the choice is more disputable. Chip Reese has done well, as has Ivey, along with Todd Brunson, Ted Forrest, and Chau Giang.

My favorite is Gus Hansen. He's the best loose player I've ever seen. He'll be into the pot with nothing.

My favorite players are Matusow, Juanda, and Greenstein
I love how Matusow shows such a great love for the game, but it is a true shame that he can not get his act together and show what a great player he is. Juanda- I have talked to him on AIM and that is cool that he actually talks to a fan. I think its awesome that if he reads weakness at all pre flop he will just move all in with any 2 cards. Greenstein is the robin hood. How can you not like a guy who donates all his tourney winnings? Also his stone cold poker face is rare. I am biased towards Matusow and Greenstein as they are both Jewish and I kind of look up to them in that sense. However, right now it looks like Daniel is the best player. However, Juanda is also in a damn good streak.

this has to be the strangest grouping of players possible. i didnt think that i would ever see matusow, juanda and greenstein on the same list. im not sure that you could find two players who appear to be any more different than matusow and greenstein.

I know I know. I just like them all. I mean each has their own unique way at the table and I admire all of them.

thanks for clarification eddo. he is still the man in my book. I find myself liking the players for different reasons that their tv persona. I like Barry for the above reasons, Dewey Tomko, Dan Harrington, Howard L. Not exactly the most colorful personalities I know but I envy them for other reasons than if they are talkative/gregarious at the tables etc.
