emanmark 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I know Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar are considered the best to ever play, winning back to back wsop but there wasn't even 100 people in the event back then! I've won several tourney's with more people than that. Doyle makes plays that boggles the mind, all-in on the crappiest of hands. I think Sammy Farha is the best I've seen, really has a feel for players hand strengths. Link to post Share on other sites

You've won tourneys with more than 100 people? Teach me your ways, oh master of the NLHE tourney. Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The skill level you're up against is way way less than the skill level of the players Doyle and Ungar were up against. And they are probably a hundred times better than you. Link to post Share on other sites

He's only been a winning player for like 60 years. But once on ESPN WSOP he made a bluff and got caught. Yea your right. He must not be that good Link to post Share on other sites

Avg donk online has no such motive. That being said, it is stupid people say he's one of the "last true gamblers" because of this. Link to post Share on other sites
