I don't think you can say that one person is the best stud player in the world. I think the best you can do is say that there are a group of elite stud players including forrest, ivey, greenstein, danny robison, chip reese and a few others.

I would say that Chip Reese and Mel Judah should top anyone's list.Cheers,LK

mel judah??? seems to me like ivey, forrest, reese, and the unmentioned Danny Robison are the usual choices.

Ted Forrest definitely. It's not even close. Ted Forrest destroys every stud game he's in.

[Frigley 0]

i always thought he was supposed to be a great stud player

[Painter567 0]

I agree with Petoria. Ted Forrest by a long shot

[Guest]

Here's a question:How could you conceivably judge the difference between two players who are both superior to you? Do you judge them based on their success? Based on other people's opinions? Because you clearly can't judge them on the merit of their play unless you're at least in the same league as the two of them.

I don't remember all the specifics of that hand... but I do remember the commentators (who apparently don't know much about stud) overstating a little how good the play was. Even iIn a full-ring game, it'd be correct to play with a pair of 2's and an overcard kicker against a probable pair, and to be prepared to go to the river unless you know your opponent has 2-pair early. In a 3-handed situation, it's even better. At some point, I think Brown checked the hand, and I think Forrest took it down without a showdown. Does anyone remember better?I don't doubt that Forrest had a good read on Brown, and he probably knew that his 2's were good... but it wasn't a stupid-sick play in short-handed stud.

or Mr. Forrest.

John Hennigan, Chip Reese, Phil Ivey, and Ted Forrest should be high on anybody's list.

semi hijack:but are the Stud games in AC or Vegas harder to beat?

Definately Chip Reese, thats why he started to play the big game, because he recognized most of the players, including Doyle, were playing inadequate stud.
