(My earlier post was sarcasm filled too)

My actual favorite based on their poker play is divided 3 ways- Ivey, Antonius, and Dwan

My favorites not based on poker play divided 3 ways as well are- Negreanu, Greenstein, and Harman

The greatest poker player in the world, hands down, is Phil Hellmuth. Despite the fact he thinks he is the greatest he actually is. No one can compete with him in NLHE over the long haul. I've watched him alot, and even though he can be intolerable, he continually dominates everyone he plays against.

Tony G represents everything I don't want to be as a poker player. However, this is probably the best video I've seen of him. All his other vids he's on a life heater and trash talking. If he was good, I would maybe understand it.

NLHE is not the only form of poker, nor is Phil Hellmuth nearly as good in cash games.

This is a myth. Hellmuth dominates NLHE cash games. I have seen him on high stakes and Poker After Dark cash games annihilate people. It isn't even up for debate he is the best NLHE player alive.

He only knows how to play against fish in tourneys. He doesn't have the mental capacity to play against cash pros. This is old news.

This is old myth. It is highly known he beats the best consistently in tourneys and cash games. He dominates on HSP and PAD cash games. Yes he can be an azz, but he is the best player.

He definitely doesn't dominate HSP. The other pros drool when they see him. He does own PAD, though those are mostly tourney structure ones that he owns.

He's a great tourney player, a good poker mind, and really good for the game. He just can't hold his own against the upper echelon of cash game players.

I love such feeble minded individuals.

Additionally, you originally claimed he was the best poker player, now you've reduced it to NLHE player alive. Which one is it? Best poker player, or best NLHE player? The two are not the same.

he did not dominate on HSP and PAD lol are you kidding? THe guy gnits it up for the whole shows, finally plays a hand, has his opponenent beat, checks every street so he can "trap" his opponent and gives his opponents the free cards they need to beat him. He than explodes talks about how shitty the player is and goes on tilt and blows his bankroll. yeah domination lol... my favorite is antonious
