Message: [QUOTE="SydTheCat, post: 1560911, member: 54937"] Kind of hard to say 'Best player of all time'. The players of the past were the best of their times. I think if you took the best of each generation and sat them down at a table to play, probally the more modern day player would be the best, such as Ivey. Only because strategies have progressed. Lets say a modern day Phil Ivey sitting down with someone like a young Johnny Moss or Doyle would have an advantage because Ivey has much more tricks up his sleeve then they would. The best back then had an aggressive play. Today everyone plays like that. Poker has advanced so much since the early days. It would be like bringing Babe Ruth to play in a modern day game. He probally would be average at best. So if I had to pick one, yes it would be Ivey. In ten years we'll have someone new who will be better than Ivey. [/QUOTE]
