thats horrible, how do take 10-15 minutes to make that call? the hand wasnt even that great, it wasnt a life or death situation there is absolutely no reason one could take that much time

By far, Dave "the devilfish" ulliot. He plays with any hand and wins with any hand. He could go all-in with AA or 2,7, offsuite. Thats my kind of poker player

This guy Hawt cashes in tournaments more than all the bots at Party combined, but, besides him, I would have to go with Raymer. Even before he won the WSOP he was a strong and sound player, and always gave out solid advice on the 2+2 forums, it seems like the man lives for huge fields. I don't know how his cash game is, but for strictly tournaments he is up there along with Phil Hellmuth. Say what you will about Phil but he gets his shit done and cashes even if he doesn't "win".

I've played with DevilFish. He's good, but I don't tihnk he's the best. Just my opinion...

I bet he was fun to play with, a colorful character no?

Kinda. For the most part, he was just a normal guy. He was two seats to my left for the better part of a day, so we got to chat quite a bit. Oddly enough, when our table broke up (down to 5 tables), he ended up ONE SEAT to my left at our new table.

The #1 thing that surprised me about him..... he complained about bad beats and bad play more than I expected him to. It definitely got under his skin. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, necessarily - I mean, he is one of the best players in the world, hands down - but it surprised me, that's all.

Away from the poker tables, he was a great guy. I chatted with him in the bar after I got busted, saw him on the beach a couple of times, enjoyed his musical talents (piano, guitar, singing), and was VERY impressed with his skills with the ladies.

I also got to check out his "DevilFish" rings, up close and personal. He said he either used to be a jeweler or owned a jewelery store or something like that. I forget.
