It is tough to argue with any of the names thrown out in this thread so far, but I will have to agree with the original poster. The style of Gus Hansen, along with his unbelievably funny, but effective, facial contortions, make Gus hard to figure out. I remember seeing a special tournament of 10 pros a few weeks back (probably a re-run or something) where Gus knocked out every pro at the table. Each pro stated the same thing during their post-tourney interview... Gus is tough because no one could predict what two cards he is playing this time.
Also on my list would be Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu.
I have heard that Chip Reese is the best cash player in the game, but since I don't see those games, it is tough for me to have an unbiased opinion.
