Please bear in mind that this topic has already been created. Let´s try to innovate the new threads a bit! Or else we will keep going around in circles ok ?

Ok you guys are close but missing the real deal.. Allan Cunningham is the best player in the world right now. Not ever but right now. He stays under the radar but is always making money. Nothing Huge but plucking away at it all the time. Just because you have won a wsop dont make you the best in the world just means you got pretty lucky. Now back in the day when the fields were only 100-200 players repeat wins did make you a legend. but you wont see a double winner ever again. so winning a tourny like that dont count.
So all that said I say mr cunningham is the best player today.
no for all time it has to be TEXAS DOLLY.
I read that that man has played several cash games and tournys pretending to look at his cards but never really looked. and guess what he won them and only played the players.. now that is good poker. This is a true stroy.

Well for me it's Phil Ivey or Gus Hansen. I like their agressiv style.

I was on Tilt Yesteday and watching Ivey play heads up.. He Lost 150,000 bucks in less then an hour. he was bluffing way too much and I lost my respect for that man after that. It was SICK. Maybe he had a bad day or maybe he finally played someone who can afford to lose the money at that stake and could call him down with 2nd best hands.. He cleaned him out fast. It was kinda funny
