Posted by EimsbushKing: the game was unbelievable soft back in the days.
surely was stu a great player but not even close to people like ivey or cates.
ungar was a fkn degen
i got rspect for ungar and brunson but theese two are seriously the overratest players of all time.
your only as good as the players you beat....... and he beat every at time in the game, you carnt compare ivey with Stu the kid Ungar ........., ivey hasnt even won the WSOP yet also ivey is s**t at tournament formats hes a cash player, and for saying Stu the kid Ungar and dolly( brunson) are over rated, sorry kid you know nothing about poker, if you think that then,,,,,,,,, you have a lot to learn about poker, thats not showing respect to them................ saying s**t like that
come back here when you have read some more books on them two guys and what they have done in poker and for the game and when ivey has won the WSOP a couple of times, and then..................... and i mean and then ..... we have a good discussion about if there over rated and compare them with ivey............

In my opinion the best player of all time is Doyle Brunson, even if now he is just a looser vs the new guns. This new generation of players (negreneau, ivey, durrr, Patrick antonius) needs to be in the business for decades to be considered the best of all time. Only time will tell.
PS: The player i appreciate the most is Sammy Farha.
