Which Pro is better?

[liladypokerpro]

Which of the following Pros do YOU think is the best at Hold Em? (See Poll) This should be interesting to see.....Also, I'd like to know why you chose whomever you chose.

Overall or cash/tourney?

I'm siding with Phil Hellmuth, can't argue with his bracelets, without doubt the best tourney player in the world.

Cash I'm not so sure, Phil Ivey is a beast, so I guess he'll be my provisional choice :P

The topic is for whomever you think is the best overall Hold Em player....regardless of cash or tourneys.

I like Daniel the best. His personality and skills are the type of player I inspire to be like.

I Have To Say Chris i have seen him go from 0$$ to over 10 Grand.. without any money Put up .. started with a free roll !

Y is Men Ngyuen on the list? He is the shadiest poker player out there. You know he's been banned from playing from several casinos. Foxwoods for example has caught him attempting to load up tournament chips from his horses playing in preliminary WPT events. He planned on using those chips in the Main Event at the end of that WPT series. Y WPT has not banned him is beyond me. If he has been caught this one time, how many times do u think he has attempted similar things in previous tournament wins/cashes? Negreanu and others have publicly called him out for being bad for the game for similar and other reasons. I've also heard, that even with his notoriety and fame in the poker world, he continues to degrade and mistreat dealers. I have no respect for players that will cheat the game and act like jerks, especially those who r in the public eye and who should be ambassadors of poker. I cannot consider someone with this type of behavior the best at anything in poker. Scotty Ngyuen used to be a big jerk several years ago, but as u can see has embraced his fame and success and have chosen to become a respected pro and to those fans enjoy watching. I have made some good money playing poker and I have taken my share of sick beats for pretty sick pots, but one thing I do is play the game straight. Men is a joke and makes a mockery of any list that he is included in.

By the way, Ivey is a BEAST! I also like Patrik Antonius' game as well.

He is on the list because (shady or not) there are actually people who still consider him "The Master" (and NO I'm not one of them LOL)

This post is generally to give a broad spectrum of players (all levels, ages, styles, etc) and to let everyone chose from those players who they think is the best NLHE player overall from the list.

Clearly you don't think Men is one *and I can't say I blame you* but that is what is great about a Poll Thread......if you don't like one, choose another!

hold em is pretty broad, I think you'd have to be more specific to get my opinion. Tournaments, limit, deep stack NL, high stakes, low stakes, online, live etc.....
And where is my name on there, lol

Lordy, I dunno how many times I'll have to repeat this....LOL

Just IN GENERAL in the game of Hold Em...doesn't matter what limits, live online and all that rubbish LOL

Quit trying to make it harder than it is LOL

Daniel, for sure.
His ability to read people is freakishly amazing! (Better then any one else I have seen do)
Been watching the PAD and WSOPE events.
And his reads of players is awesome!
Not to mention unlike Poker Brat, he doesn't rant a rave when he goes out.
A gentleman of poker that boy.
I'm not gay, but i would have his babies! (Or at least let my girlfriend have them) LOL.

depends if ur talking cash games or tourney. without a doubt its gotta be helmuth for tourneys and im surprised more ppl didnt vote for him. as for cash games, too tough to call.
