Doyle Brunson?

Missing? Um, how about names that have no business being on that list either.

That's really something. I bet Raymer is pretty flattered to be on the list the Chan and Bruson can't even make.

Well, keep in mind this is the top 'legends' list, not just top players. After all, would you put Binion on a top 10 players list? Personally though, given the nature of this list I would've put Harrington on there, winning a Main Event and then FTing the 2 that really put it in the limelight is really an achievement.

My list would go something like this:

1. Doyle
2. Slim
3. Binion
4. Ungar
5. Moss
6. Pearson
7. Hellmuth
8. Harrington
9. Annie Duke <- Gotta give a little love to the ladies, plus she totally punked Hellmuth
10. Chan/Men The Master/Ivey

Honorable Mention to Raymer. Beat a big field, then went deep against a HUGE field, and with nothing but class.

Note: Edited to avoid postwhoring charges.

While very slick, I can’t imagine this is going to be cost effective for them. While I’m happy to read their publication, it’s not going to get me to deposit. Since I enjoy following the industry side as well as playing, the piece I enjoyed most was the history of the site/founders. It sounds like their life ambition was to do anything but have a real job – before starting the site, they were professional card counters.

I guess it all depends on how they define legend. I hope it is some weird definition that I haven't heard of cause a few of those aren't legends in anyone's mind but their own.

Phil Gordon? oooook

not takin anything away from him as a player... but a top ten legend? He has no track record

[Tony Cheval]

Exactly, I based mine on 'does ANYBODY outside of the pro poker circles know who this is', which I think is a fair definition of legend.
