Who is the best nl poker pro?

[Aequitas58]

Tournament or cash games? Big difference.

Most pros point the finger at Chip Reese.

[ChipFish]

No no no.... Chip Fish Not Chip Reese.... silly Lou.

[New Guy]

Both cash and tourny

[BrianSwa]

I think Daniel is very close to the top in tornament play.
not to sure on cash games, Id probolly go with TP and say Phil Ivey.

[omahilo]

Chip and Ivey are the 2 best NL players in the cash games.

As for tourneys, Negreanu is currently running really hot by winning the Bellagio end of the year event then finishing 3rd at WPO.

Also Phil Hellmuth has 9 WSOP bracelets in HE... so all-time he has the bracelets to back it up even tho he hasnt done anything in a few years.

At this point gotta go with Daniel N. He's hot. Watched the heads up battle with Freddy Deeb a few weeks ago (from awhile ago), and his play was amazing. Simply amazing. I know we dont see all the hands, or even close, but in the heads up duel, he made 1 small call with a draw when he was behind. thats it 1. Amazing. When I first started really getting into poker I thought he was a bit of a schmuck, but he is the man. No doubt. Well him and Chip Fish of course.

[ChipFish]

Finally a little respect around here.

[Aequitas58]

So you're back now?

[jimmym]

I would say Phil Ivey followed by Martin DeKnijff

[Talking Poker]

LOL...

Cash games, Reece seems to be the man. But from what I've seen, Phil Ivey is the best and Negreanu is right up there, especially if you consider tournament play. Those two get my vote. It's so hard to say who is the single best player though...

[TajaUk]

Turn pro and play the WPT, your GOOD.

[Gordogg]

Tournaments it's Negreanu followed by Juanda. Cash games it's Ivey or Reese. Negreanu I believe it was estimated Ivey's winnings at around 20mil last year in cash games. Must be very nice.

[BrianSwa]

Ive read alot about Ivey and how he got where he was. He busted his ass to get as good as he is and is modest as hell about it. Someone interviewed him saying he was the Tiger Woods of poker and he was like no Tiger Woods is the best in his carrer and he said I dont think im the best so Im no Tiger Woods. I like Ivey alot really down to earth, hell he aint no Hellmuth for sure. Which reminds me just re-watched parts of the tornament of champions where Hellmuth said Howard was playing like a amature....ehhehe.

[johnbaker]

i agree with this guy

[ChipFish]

Want to back me?

[bigjohnstud2o]
