whos the best?

He works for UB, so I suspect most of his online play is there. He also told me that he was starting his own poker site - I think it was supposed to be live by now, but I haven't followed up with him.

I didn't see him online for the Holiday Bounty tournament either. (Although I may have missed him). I thought the original email from them about the tournament mentioned his name, but now I'm not so sure. Is he still with UB or have they parted ways?

EDIT: Well, it appears he's still part of Team UB as he's listed on the main page, but I still swear I didn't see him play in the Holiday Bounty last Saturday night. I couldn't actually play in it as I was at this party. Fortunately the party required the use of my laptop and a neighbour of the party-throwers was gracious enough to let me "borrow" their wireless connection so I could pop on periodically and check the status of the bounties. I noticed that Hellmuth went out fairly early. Man, that would have been a sweet takedown. Decent bounty too: 10-person UB themed poker table, UB chips & cards, 10 UB shirts & hats, and, oh, $250. The actual prizes were decent as well.

Can any one person really be the best? I mean look at the last 2 WSOPs. Totally unknowns end up winning. And Steve Danaman wow 2nd. I mean its all in the cards. If you get the cards you can you can win no matter how good you are. Just my opinion.

I disagree with you very much. But I love playing with you "it's all luck" guys.

Yes, anyone can win in the short term, but the best players will win the most in the long run. Period.
