best tournament player or cash player?
two players that are right up there in both categories are phil ivey and durr (tom dwan).
tony g is nothing special.

Phil Hellmuth
2011-07-16 20:09:38
Hellmuth is the best at beating up noobs, he has no A game for the pros though, he also sucks ass at cash game hes just a tournament specialist.
2011-07-16 23:17:28
Phil Hellmuth plays right. The only thing that happens is that the huge variance of shitty players and their shitty gameplay like call a 3bet with K9 suit is extemely annoying. Phil gets always bad beats not cause he played wrong,but cause the other guys played shit and win by luck all the time. I admire him for his explosions cause that shows he is not hypocrite. most of guys when lose by a stupid guy that called with a random hand say "oh nice play" or "good hand". Phil says what exaclty happened and what exactly the other player is.
Ivey is probably the most clever player. He doesnt make almost any mistake in his play.
dwan and isildur (Blom) at online high stakes actually dont play. they gamble.If I was sponsored by FTP Id do the same.
I like Barry Greenstein, John Juanda and Phil Laak.

oh yeah? Negreanu couldnt read this sick game against gus hansen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ufZ-DHVCBQ
IMO, Gus Hansen is the best player, I love the wildcard thinking, thats what makes him soo hard to read, you never know if he has shitty hand or the nuts :D

Daniel no doubt. I'm surprised no1 told Joe Hachem's name :o
2011-07-16 23:54:20
Daniel isnt the greatest, he even admits it himself saying how many players are better than him. And Joe is good but certainly not a top top player and im aussie so you know im not being a fanboy lol.
2011-07-19 18:06:59

Phil Hellmuth obviously!
2011-07-17 00:07:25
lol,phil is a retarded,he is rude with everybody,and acts like hes the best player, and hes a "tournament player"i havent see him win anything @cash game in the past years
2011-07-17 06:26:25
Phil Hellmuth WAS a good player,but now he is nothing special compared to the top pros, whenever i watch his vids i always hear him complain and shit,
2011-07-17 10:32:59
And i enjoy it! <3 Phil :D
Maybe he's not the best player in the world, but he's fun to watch.

Did you know that in Casino Royale, the winning hand has the best 5 hands up in the table?
I mean, the winner wins with nuts (straight flush), the "first" loser looses with the 2nd best hand (poquer) and so on.
Two friends and I made calculations, and the probability to play that hand like it was played was like 1 in 2Billion or something like this.

Fools saying negreanu.... he even admits himself that hes not a top top player.. hes good but thats it. hes my fav as far as nice poker players go and respect wise but skill wise no. there are far better players than him. He just captivates all the noobs with his constant talking at the tables you see on tv and his nice demeanour.
2011-07-19 18:14:14
LOL ? Hater go hate somewhere else . He is an excellent player.
2011-07-19 18:18:42
Yeah. thats why he has people that track him on pokerstars and sit in whenever he starts playing cash. Ivey eats negranu for breakfast and dan even agrees. nuff said. not hating. just saying the truth that people here have no clue about as they just watch the game on TV. but ok believe whatever you want to believe like i said hes a good player but there are so many other top players that own his soul. This is a thread about the best not about the most likeable negreanu is not at the top in the first category but is in the second which is why all the fishies here are bending over.
2011-07-22 10:43:39
First of all there is a difference between online and live poker, shame those people who "track him down as soon as he start playing cash games" have probably never won anything @ live events. It's easy to comment - different to play players of that calibre.

Live poker is where the professionals reign supreme and are able to use their skill sets, not online where anyone can download a poker hud and see how players play
2011-11-18 05:49:14
he has lots of tells
he cant beat best players
my impression to him is
when he got nuts
he always choose to play on 2 options
1 tight : check
2 hyper agreesive : cause them to fold
neither get anything more

that's what people who don't know how to play it say
good poker players win money in the long run, if they lose some money, they know that if they put in the hours they will get it back easily
you see a lot of players at the beggining of important tournament, why there are always the same players at the end? because they have much more skill than the others..

Cash games - Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and Patrick Antonius;
Tournament - Phil Helmuth, Phil Ivey and Daniel-Negreanu;
Best overall player - Phil Ivey;
Phil Helmuth is a sore loser sometimes, against amateurs and pro players (I've seen him angry in cash games after being pwned). Almost cries with bad beats from amateurs, but that's part of the game and he doesn't know how to deal with them. However, the man has 11 bracelets. He knows a thing or two about donkments. Errrr, tournaments.

no man, you are wrong, hellmuth is a good player but not the best.Hellmuth have a style that is very impressive but he ins't the best
2011-11-18 13:01:04
so, why he has the most WSOP bracelets? bcoz of luck? i'll say that he were very unlucky during 2011 wsop, having three 2nd place finishes. He is very great player. Sometimes too emotional, but it's his style what we all love a lot. Anyway, he will forever come in the history of poker.

Id say Phil Ivey is the best
If Negreanu took it seriously, or changed his mentality, he has the ability to be the best, sometimes his reads are insane
But there are heaps of people, like Helmuth, Dwan, Hansen

Phil Ivey is best no doubt he is among the best in almost any form of poker
you put Helmuth on the same bag as Dwan and Hansen?
Helmuth is really bad because poker has changed a lot and he hasn't adjusted to that and he is always crying..

while this might be true, he still wins a lot. It's just they seem to show him losing a lot because they think that will bring the ratings. His record speaks for itself.

I have no idea, so I'll just say REAL.
2011-11-18 05:49:21
GOAT is Doyle hands down, much respect and appreciation to what he did for holdem scene since he was in his university days. As far as the best now, Ivey has to take it, such a feared player.
2011-11-18 05:50:32
ye, Ivey is very very good, my favorite player but negreanu already passed him in the amount of winning money in tournaments and thats a fact inst it ?
2011-11-18 13:03:01
u think negreanu is better than ivey?
negreanu if afraid to play him cuz he knows that ivey has such a big edge on, he has on almost anyone..

Dwan is the best holdem player, but Ivey owns him pretty much in all the other games.
Hellmuth is the best tournament player.

So funny to read all the answers in this thread. Goes to show how people get false information by only watching pokershows on tv.
Phil Hellmuth is not even near the top, he probably isn't even top500. He is only decent in a large field tournaments where there's a lot of inexperienced players. His fundamentals are reeeaally bad. Same things applies to most of the old school -players. They simply refuse to admit that the younger generation has better fundamentals and knowledge of the game theory overall. Of course there are exceptions.
Pretty much no one here has mentioned the likes of ie. jungleman (Daniel Gates, who's prolly the best nlhe hu player in the world atm), Phil Galfond (most likely the best player in plo, used to be pretty much the best in nlhe too) or Patrik Antonius. There are also TONS of great online players who are so good that it's hard to tell who is better (sauce123, stinger88, toweliestar, the dang brothers, 0Human0, Skjervoy, the list goes on and on).
oops, tl;dr. I thought I'd write a tiny post but got carried away a little :DD
edit: forgot to mention: sure Phil Ivey is one of the best, if not the best player overall. I also talked only about cash game -players (mostly nlhe and plo) just because I think it's the purest form of poker and I think just about everyone agrees.

Phil Hellmuth is not even near the top, he probably isn't even top500. He is only decent in a large field tournaments where there's a lot of inexperienced players. His fundamentals are reeeaally bad. Same things applies to most of the old school -players. They simply refuse to admit that the younger generation has better fundamentals and knowledge of the game theory overall. Of course there are exceptions.
Pretty much no one here has mentioned the likes of ie. jungleman (Daniel Gates, who's prolly the best nlhe hu player in the world atm), Phil Galfond (most likely the best player in plo, used to be pretty much the best in nlhe too) or Patrik Antonius. There are also TONS of great online players who are so good that it's hard to tell who is better (sauce123, stinger88, toweliestar, the dang brothers, 0Human0, Skjervoy, the list goes on and on).

Judd Trump (born 21 August 1989) is an English professional snooker player from Bristol. He enjoyed considerable success in youth tournaments before turning professional in 2005. On 3 April 2011, Trump won his first ranking title, beating Mark Selby 10–8 in the final of the China Open. Following this success in China, he reached the final of the 2011 World Snooker Championship where he was defeated by John Higgins and went on to win the 2011 UK Championship where he defeated Mark Allen 10–8 in the final.
Trump was English Under-13 and Under-15 champion, and reached the World Under-21 Championship semi-finals at the age of 14. At the same age, he became the youngest player ever to make a competitive 147, beating Ronnie O'Sullivan's record from 1991.[5]
In the 2005/06 season he joined the professional tour, and at the Welsh Open became the youngest player ever to qualify for the final stages of a ranking tournament. He reached the same last-48 stage for the China Open, losing 4–5 to Michael Holt, although this was designated the final qualifying round and was actually played in Prestatyn, Wales.
Trump became the third youngest player ever to reach the World Championship, at the 2007 event, by beating James Wattana 10–5, (with champions Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan respectively younger, and also with China's Liu Chuang) is one of only four 17-year-olds to feature at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre. Trump played the 2005 champion and 6th seed, Shaun Murphy, in the first round, losing 6–10 despite having led 6–5.
Trump did not build on this form in the 2007/08 season, only reaching the last 32 of the Welsh Open by beating Joe Swail. He missed out on the World Championship after a 9–10 loss to Swail, having led 9–7.
Things changed for the 2008/09 season when Trump reached the venue stages of the first four events. At the Grand Prix he benefited from Graeme Dott's withdrawal before defeating Joe Perry 5–2 in the last 16, despite admitting to not playing well and Perry feeling that he had outplayed Trump.[6] Then came the biggest win of his career so far, defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan 5–4 to reach the semi-final, in which he was defeated 6–4 by John Higgins. He beat double world champion Mark Williams to qualify for the 2008 Bahrain Championship. He won a qualifying tournament to gain entry into the 2009 Masters Tournament as the only qualifier, but was defeated by Mark Allen in the first round. He failed to qualify for the World Championship, losing 8–10 to Stephen Lee having led 6–3. Lee considered this match to be a local derby, as he is from nearby Trowbridge. He also noted that Trump had not followed the custom of apologising for fluked shots during the match, and concluded "all I've heard about for the last five years is how good he is. Today he blew a 6–3 lead and hopefully that will stick with him".[7] Trump ended the season in the Top 32 of the rankings for the first time. He was coached for a short time by Tony Chappel.
Trump also qualified for the 2009 Premier League, by winning the 2009 Championship League. In the event he won four of his six matches, including a 4–2 win over Ronnie O'Sullivan and finished second in the League table. However, he lost 5–1 to O'Sullivan in his semi-final.
However, the 2009/2010 season in ranking events was less successful for Trump as he failed to progress beyond the last 32 in any of the tournaments. In January 2010, Trump joined Romford-based snooker agency Grove Leisure.[8]
[edit]2010/2011
In the 2010/2011 season, he reached his first professional ranking event final at the 2011 China Open. He defeated former Masters champion Mark Selby 10–8 to win his first major title,[9] and provisionally climb into the top 16 of the world rankings. On his way to winning the China Open final, Trump also made his 100th competitive century break.
Trump had already qualified for the World Championship when he won the China Open, and was drawn against reigning champion Neil Robertson in the first round, whom he defeated 10–8.[10] In subsequent rounds, he knocked out Martin Gould 13–6, Graeme Dott 13–5 and Ding Junhui 17–15 to qualify for his first World Championship final.[11] In the final Trump lost 15–18 to John Higgins.[12]
[edit]2011/2012
Judd started the season with a 3–5 loss to Mark Davis in the 2011 Australian Goldfields Open first round.[13] However, this disappointment was soon forgotten as he won the 2nd PTC of the Season, beating Ding Junhui 4–0 in the final at a virtual home venue of the South West Snooker Academy.[14] Judd then lost 5–1 against Stuart Bingham in the Shanghai Masters first round.[15] Trump finished runner-up to Neil Robertson in the 8th PTC event of the season[16], but immediately rediscovered his winning touch by capturing Event 9 by defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan 4–3 in the final in Antwerp, Belgium in just over an hours worth of play.[17] He would later top the Order of Merit after all twelve PTC events had been played, thus qualifying for the 2012 Finals.[18]
On 11 December 2011, Trump won his second ranking event tournament, the 2011 UK Championship at the Barbican Centre in York. Trump beat Dominic Dale 6-4 in the last 32, before winning the final two frames of the second round to edge out Ronnie O'Sullivan, 6-5. After the match Trump claimed that he had been "outplayed" and was "lucky" to have got through.[19] He then dispatched Stephen Maguire 6-3[20] and faced Neil Robertson in the semi-finals. The semi-final was a tight and nervy affair, with Trump stating afterwards that he believed Robertson was trying to stifle his natural game by, "slowing it down" and "making things awkward", but nevertheless the Bristolian triumphed, 9-7 to reach his first UK final.[21] In the final he played Mark Allen and trailed 1-3 early on in the best-of-19 frames match. However, Trump then produced a match-defining run of seven straight frames to take an 8-3 lead. Despite a strong fightback from Allen, who won five of the next six frames to trail just 8-9, Trump went on to clinch the 18th frame with a break of 91 and win the final by 10 frames to 8.[22] Six-time winner of the event, Steve Davis, said that Trump's performances during the championship had shown that he was "spearheading his generation" of snooker players.[23] The victory took him up to a career-high world ranking of 5.[24]
He continued his fine form by reaching the semi-finals of the Masters in January. He beat Stuart Bingham in the first round and O'Sullivan once more in the quarters 6–2, to make his record against the three-time World Champion five wins and two defeats, from their seven meetings in tournament play.[25] He played Robertson in the last four for the second successive major event and it was the Australian who exacted his revenge from the defeat suffered in York a month earlier, as he triumphed 6-3.
Trump was English Under-13 and Under-15 champion, and reached the World Under-21 Championship semi-finals at the age of 14. At the same age, he became the youngest player ever to make a competitive 147, beating Ronnie O'Sullivan's record from 1991.[5]

LOL,how can you talk about best poker player and not even mention D.Brunson?!?!Thats not fair!!!He is the godfather of poker and although i do not watch poker live from 2 years,nobody can tell me that there is a player,which can respect you more than D.Brunson.Some internet stars are not able to impress me and there is not any posibility someone to be so great as Texas Doyle
2013-02-06 16:52:59
I'm surprised no one's said Chris Ferguson. He simply plays a mathematical standard without making errors and consistently does well in tournaments.
