Me. 😀
I'm the King of my own little Kingdom, its a paradise on Earth.
You're welcome. 🙂
In all honesty... I don't think there's one "best poker player". For one, there are a lot of different poker games, and each game has its own best players. Someone who is the best at No Limit Holdem will most likely not be great at some other game like 2-7 No Limit Single Draw Lowball. 😀
For me, I appreciate the players who can play ALL the games, not just become the best at one of them... so, for instance, someone like the late Chip Reese.
The problem with "rankings" is that they usually rank players by money won... but as we all probably know, the No Limit Texas Holdem pros fill this entire list... because the mixed-game poker pros are playing games that pay MUCH less for a win... so they'll never make any leaderboards.
Given all my words here, I did find something to hang my hat on... have a look for yourself

Notice anything about that list? Chip Reese won it, yes... but...
My choice for the best poker player is none other than Michael Mizrachi. A THREE-TIME CHAMPION against the best players in the world. Impressive indeed.

There is a rankings list of sorts - https://www.thehendonmob.com/ - the trouble with this is that it does not count cash game grinders that have made millions online and live and is weighted very much towards NLHE because they are by far and away the biggest tournaments and therefore the biggest prize pools.
For me, Phil Galfond is the best player around at the moment because he's so good at both NLHE and PLO.

Well ... I have seen many videos and streamers of the great professional poker players .... and currently I am staying with Lex Valdhuz ... without a doubt the best from my point of view ...! is always winning awards constantly
There's literally dozens of names you could pick from.
There was a time when we all thought the players on high stakes poker etc were the world's best.
a lot depends on game type cash/tourneys etc
These players would now struggle against the very best
I'm going to opt for 2 Brits who I'll not say the best but are right up with the best
Stephen chidwick live tourneys
Conor Beresford online tourneys

The best among all players?
Good afternoon everyone, I find it difficult to say who is the best poker player in the world, it is easier to say who are the best players.
I usually watch good players through Twitch and even the player I saw making the plays and explain and win playing cash game NL $ 2.5 / $ 5, is the player Saulo Costa, very technical, beat this NL very easily and he says is far from the level of TOP players,
LLinus, OtB_RedBaron, I wonder how good their game is.
In online poker, I hear other good players say that the best player in the world of online cash is the one who uses the nickname, OtB_RedBaron.
In live poker, I find it very difficult to say that the best of all, considering the number of bracelets won, Phil Hellmuth is in 1st place, with 14 bracelets.

The best poker player in the world is someone who probably grinds online and makes .001% more good decisions than the second best guy. I doubt it's a live poker player. They're two totally different games though. One has far more physical reads.
