I think Negreanu and Hellmuth are really good players, as well as Ivey or Dwan, but it's rather hard to say who is the best, because their level is quite similar even though they play in different styles. So I voted "no"

Phil Hellmuth is a good but his time is over, The only reason he has so much bracelets is because he plays more tourneys then any1 else. Don't get me wrong he's still a very good player but not the greatest anymore.

No, no, no, definitely not and never was. Maybe he was once the best tourney player at a stretch. Besides even if he is as good as he thinks he is, his attitude stinks and I wish him all the bad luck in the world.

Yep. Thats summs it up quite well. His style is not good for cash games.

Patrick Antonius Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan rock hard.
Phil Helmuth is not uptodate and wants everyone to play "correct" poker. He behaves like a b1tch, cries and insults people badly when he loses, and thats after "20 years of poker", what he repeats again and again.

I dont think so. He is not the best poker player playing no limit hold em! There are a long list of players that for me are better than him! I would prefer Daniel Negreanu, Phill Ivey, Patrick Antonius, Elky Grospellier, Dario Minieri! etc!!

Don't think he is a good ring player, but its one of the funniest to watch playin on HSP:
"Hey, what do you have. Nice ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... hand. ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... how could I put him on a ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... Getting outplayed every ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip... hand ...biiiiiiiiiiiiip......biiiiiiiiiiiiip......biiiiiiiiiiiiip......biiiiiiiiiiiiip......biiiiiiiiiiiiip..."
i also think kenny tran is very very good
