Who is the Best........
Tourney Poker player on this forum.......
It was origionally best poker player on average, but thats a big vague. I want personal opinions as to who plays the best poker. IM not including everyone, just the guys who i think people would vote for... Intersting results we will see i believe. Last edited by eejit101; 06-22-06 at 01:42 AM. |

How about who is the best besides JD?

disagree, while JD wins a shitload, we have TP, who wins a million sattelites, has cashed in the WSOP.
Zybomb, well, we all know him. Mayhem wins a lot. Pshabi obviously does too. Its not as easy as you think |

Would you believe there was a point in time where after all the brackets were completed, Brian was favored over JD in the first round of TPF HU tournament?
(Not meant to insult Brian at all) Just considering the stakes JD is at now --

OMG, you're right. I'm 99% sure I picked JD to go pretty damn far. Like, final two. I saw something in that motherfucker from day 2!!!!!

Jd
I do not think JD has been playing long enough to be the best.. you see him have brilliant months and then times when he goes too high and tilts off money and wants to quit or something.. Only time will tell how JD does.. My Vote is for Zy.

Obviously TP, Shabi, and SJay are the resident limit experts (if we include Kurn, he'd likely be up there as well)
Me and JD are the experienced Cash NL players (not saying the best just experienced in medium [me] and high [him] stakes) I think Mayhem belongs in the NL group, but he doesn't post enough of his HHs so he gets excluded SNGs are tough to say, I don't think any of us play enough of them or post enough about them MTTs TP and JD have the best track records

This poll is obviously going to win for JD because, hello, he's won 3 big MTTs in the past four days.

This poll doth suck. I wrote out an arguament to that, and deleted it. |
#13
|
||||
|
||||
Yup, agreed. He's getting my vote. How can he NOT, considering he recent results?
And Zybomb is exactly right - I'll add some thoughts in bold: |

im beginning to regret not posting some numbers from when i was playing a LOT more than i am now. I was cash tabling 3/6, and playing alot of sit and gos, 5 hours a day, 6 days a week, and making alot.
I just read this forum for advice, and posted some dumbass comments along the way. ANyways, mayhem is good, but yes he doesnt post anything, all JD does in brag about his wins for HHs Zy is a clear winner. I was tempted to include Bunny, but decided against it. Maybe this poll sucks! But screw it, whose the best tourney player from who i listed. ( i enarly added kurn, but i havent seen any action from him, so cant comment) |

I didn't vote because I haven't played much with anyone on the list, and even though Klingons like to brag, I'd rather jump into your next batch of tournies and let the results speak for themselves.

I have ABSOLUTELY no business even being in this poll. Tourney player???? LMAO!!!!!!
People on this forum think I'm a lot better than I actually am, I guess. I'm SLIGHTLY better than average tourney-wise. Slightly. As for my vote, I obviously need to vote JD, because the results do all the talking. However, I think Zy is right up there. His analysis is top notch, and he proved himself in the last league. TP, although on a bit of a dry run, is a very very solid player. He did final table a WSOP event. I respect his game immensely. As for me, there are people (Lou, for one) that are better than me and not even on the list. My vote goes to JD with Zy and TP for a very close 2nd.

I was wondering how you made the list, since 98% of your play is 6 max limit cash games. Must be because you post a lot! It's all about the brand recognition these days.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying you are a bad MTT player or anything (far from it), but if we are talking in terms on NL tourneys, I'd go with guys like bdawg, meanness, studiopet, etc, before I'd bring up the shabi. |

I think it was best player at first, then he changed it to so it was more defined.
Either way, even if it was "best overall player" I'd put JD, TP, ZY, Bdawg, AT LEAST AHEAD OF ME. Possibly more. The attributes that have got me to the level I'm at are: 1) extreme self-discipline 2) the ability to be honest w/ oneself 3) the desire to study and get better (intrinsic motivation) 4) basic, above-average intelligence 5) table/game selection 6) TABLE/GAME SELECTION

And these are very important qualities in a poker player. JD has come a long, long way, but he's still behind everyone on that list with regards to #1, and I think he'd be the first to admit it.
No matter how good you are, you'll amount to nothing but a broke waste of talent if you don't have good bankroll management skills. That's just a fact. |

Very true. I really need to work on that still. Oh and #5 and 6 are pretty bad too - but i like to challenge myself and i think its made me better playing really good players, for wutever thats worth.

Yea the original posted question was who is the best poker player
I responded saying Limit? NL? SNG? MTT?, because obviously theres different answers for each -- so he changed it to make it more defined (you already said that)

Well, this poll doth suck then, because I've never even seen SJay play a tournament before.

With respect to the level of poker players and playing against them, I was just thinking about that the other night at the casino. I have never felt more in control than I did that night, and I was wondering why I haven't felt anywhere close to that before. Maybe it is because I have started playing a lot lately and thinking poker more, but I also realized that if these people were complete fish I wouldn't be able to do this. A lot of them were decent players, and I could remember being at that level. Thus, I was able to recognize moves that I used to make and then make counter moves. You have the advantage of being able to think like your opponent when you are like 1 level above them.
