Fluffdog87 2 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 New and Edited PostVote Now on the New Amended List with 3 names added on to the list, and 6 names taken off of it.The New Amended List Link- http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...pic.php?t=38819Of this list, who is the best no limit tournament player right now?Not who is playing the best right now. Who is the best? If their were a tournament today, and these 16 players played, who would have the best shot of winning, because they are the best no limit tournament player there. The list has 16 top NL holdem Tornament players on it. I don't think I've missed anyone that could be considered the best, and not just one of the best. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 hey buddy u forgot the list Phil Ivey took 1.6 million and two firsts in two days. I would say he would be your winner. Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcCatcher 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Dont mean to put OP down, but this question is essentially asking who is running the best, as is any question dealing w/ poker in the short term. I see this question asked alot on here and it essentially means nothing. Short term results mean dick in poker. If you were to ask me who the best player in the world right now is I would judge over the last three years and that would probably be either Juanda or Ivey, even the last three years doesnt mean that much, but is better than tallying tv tournaments for this years WPT and WSOP to determine it.

Staynerjohn 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 If you are looking for someone who stands the best chance right now I like Ivey for sure...but why no John Juanda on the list??? how many final tables does one have to make before he gets any respect?

casademarc 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Jesus has been really really hot the last 5 or 6 years, he has two wins in circuit events and i don't think i've seen him knocked out in the first day of a championship event in a really really long time Link to post Share on other sites
casademarc 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 he has 4 top tens in hold-em championship events and three 11ths, not too shabby Link to post Share on other sites

The Enforcer 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I love how layne flack is on your poll twice :roll: Phil Ivey would be the favorite hands down Link to post Share on other sites
RndTblKnght 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I agree with Phil Ivey being the best right now. And with their play the last several months, I would have to give honorable mentions to (love him or hate him) Mike Matusow and Kenna James!! I know poeple are going to think I am crazy, but theyare on a roll the last quarter of the year.Best Wishes,RTK Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I can't believe people still vote for hellmuth in polls like this.. it's a testiment to his marketing and his beverage distribution skills taht people are still drinking his koolaid, dispite the fact of results and the opinions of every major pro in the world besides hellmuth.

offmandh 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 it is pretty silly that you dont have mike the mouth on here. i mean like some of these dudes have made 3 final tables this century. Link to post Share on other sites
arerad 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Picking from that list is a coin toss.Ask any of them. Depending on the structure of the blinds and how deep the stacks it would probably come down to a coin toss. Sorry but it is more about luck and position than talent.
