speedz99 145 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 He is the greatest WSOP tourney player ever. Link to post Share on other sites
kfernandez 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Johnny is no doubt the best all-around poker player in the world while I still think that Phil Hellmuth holds the title of best Hold'em player in the world since all 9 of his bracelets are in Hold'em. And Doyle.. is just Doyle. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously I don't really know, but that is what I hear from almost every interview with the top players concerning the "best" in the world. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was in the mid 90's, which bascially is 10 bracletts in 10 years. That is insane, esp. since doyles are in the past 30 years, and phil, well, he's just a b1tch.please refrain from ripping people if you are too stupid to get your facts straight. johnny won back to back in 87-88 and came in 2nd to Phil in 89 in the main event. phill actually has more over a shorter span of time...so if Phil is a bitch, i guess that makes you a dumb ignorant bitch...

Pokerghost2 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 i dont know who is the greatest ever, but if i were given the opportunity to buy into a piece of someone in the 4k 8k mixed games, i would certainly take barry, chip, or phil before johnny. but 10 bracelets is a tremendous accomplishment.with the larger fields nowadays i dont think chan hellmuth or brunson will ever be caught.

He doesn't even try to play at that level because, as he admits, he would be way outclassed. Link to post Share on other sites

giantfan01 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 "He doesn't even try to play at that level because, as he admits, he would be way outclassed."Speedz99, I am not saying you are wrong, but I am just curious to know when and where you heard or read Phil Hellmuth saying this. I just find it hard to believe that he'd readily admit that somebody can out play him. Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't "admit" anything as much as he insinuates that he knows he would be losing money at the Big Game, so he sticks to the mid/high limits (400-800, etc). Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk21 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Congrats Johnny!There is definitely a good argument that Johnny is the best WSOP tournament player of all time, but he fails to win a lot of other events. Link to post Share on other sites
