IMO Negreanu is #1

I would be on board with that. There is a few clips of Negreanu just torturing Hellmuth in straight hands on one of them

It is too funny and Negreanu is talking shit to Phil the whole time about him fucking with him while Phil does not know what Negreanu
is doing on any of the hands.. Classic as Negreanu is literally just entertaining himself by fucking with Phil

Greatest fold ever?

Saw this on Barstool. I think Polk would of folded even if Phil kept his mouth shut, but damn is he stupid for saying anything.

Saw this yesterday as well. Amazing fold by Polk.

Polk is an amazing player. Impressed at how he crushed Negreanu in heads up - and Daniel is no slouch himself.

3. Erik Seidel (106.5 Points)

Erik Seidel just keeps on winning. He’s done that for 30 years at a high level, and his steadiness has earned the New York native more than $37 million in cashes, good for fourth all-time. The long-time high-stakes pro is considered one of the classiest players in the game. He rarely engages in heated arguments on the felt and keeps his emotions in check as well as anyone.
Statistically speaking, Seidel has eight WSOP bracelets, a WPT title, and eight WPT final table appearances. He’s also cashed in 114 World Series of Poker bracelet events. He famously finished runner-up to Johnny Chan in the Main Event in 1988, which you may have learned from the popular poker flick, Rounders. Seidel is a 2010 Hall of Fame inductee and, arguably, the most consistent tournament pro over the past 25 years.

Erik Seidel Wins Ninth WSOP Bracelet; Ties Johnny Moss in All-Time Standings

Erik Seidel cemented his status as one of the greatest poker players of all-time with a ninth WSOP bracelet. He defeated Uruguay's Francisco Benitez heads-up to win Event #11: $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller of the 2021 WSOP Online on GGPoker for $977,842.


It has been 14 years since Seidel's last bracelet, but this result sees draws Seidel level with three-time WSOP Main Event champion Johnny Moss on nine WSOP bracelets.
Seidel also becomes the first player with more than five WSOP bracelets to win an online WSOP bracelet.

Stu was a degenerate gambler, sucked at NFL and the Ponies.

I think he is the best all time, with Phil Ivey right there.

some of the new school nerds with software, claim they would destroy him over time.

makes me sick, I hate nothing more then the Twinks with NFL Models and Poker dorks that talk about +EV all day and CLV. take your +EV and CLV and go play in traffic.

this one twink +EV NFL bettor couldn’t justify CLV, when he walked in on me fucking his slut GF Doggy. he was tiny like 5’6 and as tight as she was he must have been tiny. sorry random story

8. Doyle Brunson (71.25 Points)

Doyle Brunson is arguably the most legendary poker player in history. He didn’t officially retire from the live poker tournament scene until 2018. But he’s been absent from the circuit for much of this century due to his age. “Texas Dolly” is an old-school great who, like Chan, went back-to-back in the Main Event (1976, 1977).
Also, like Chan, he is tied for second all-time with ownership of 10 gold bracelets. In addition to his World Series of Poker success, Brunson won the 2004 WPT Legends of Poker, marking the first of his three WPT final table appearances. In 1988, he was a slam-dunk induction into the Poker Hall of Fame.

The creators behind Michael Jordan’s award-winning series The Last Dance are filming a documentary about Doyle Brunson’s life according to the tweet from the man itself.

They are making a documentary about my life now. It has been going on for a month and is going to be a lot longer. Same group that did The Last Dance is doing it.
