Message: [QUOTE="neptun1914, post: 5494497, member: 314327"] It is very different to compare players from different poker periods as the game evolves constantly and skills needed for success also shift with it. It is also very difficult to decide which criteria to use to tell who is the greatest. Will it be the total money won? This is logical but you should also take into account for what time these money were won, in how many tournaments and also to take into account the different value that 1 million $ had back in the 70s for example compared to now. Or will it be the bracelets? Good but can you compare wsop main event from the 70s with tens of players to a modern one with thousands of players? For me best way is to just add best players from every poker era to the hall of fame and not try to crown somebody as best of all times. [/QUOTE]
