Johnny Chan, is really my favorite. He is one of the few poker players to manage his winnings to perfection. Although he lost to Phil Hellmuth at the Main Event in 1989.

I like calm and careful Eric Seidel
The old school does not give rest to the younger generation of stars.

Hello.
My favorite player, no doubt, is Liv Boeree and maybe Vanessa Russo.
I think they are one of the best.

I like the way Tom Dwan plays.

I think to accurately answer this question we need statistics that just are not available.... thinks like avg amount of buy ins per tournament, Avg Finish of % of field, ect. it goes beyond winning and losing...

We need to focus on who were the players that were best at adapting to the evaluation, and changes in the game? That would be Phil Helmuth hands down. been playing the longest out of all the top bracelet winners, thus based off the information given he would be at the top...

but then some would say Jason Bonimo Leading money maker for the past 2 years is the best.... I would say, he is the best as of right now, but can he maintain that as the game changes? If yes, then he is the best, if no then No hes not.

In my opinion the best is Daniel Negreanu, he is really a poker professional, and in my opinion the best.

Completely in agreement with you. Daniel is the best.

muse713 · Oct 26, 2018

My all time favorite is Chip Reese (RIP). I also like Phil Ivey and Barry Greenstein. Grew up watching those guys on TV.

Elton Tsang

"– There surely are people who won more than $100,000,000. For Elton Tsang, this game would be too small. Like $1/2 in a casino. I remember he played $2/4 online, and then swithced to $12,500/25,000. I am certain he has won more than $120,000,000!"
Jason Koon

Best players for me are: Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Viktor Blom.

Andrei Korolev · Nov 9, 2018

Daniel Negreanu himself, Phil Ivey...

jfofla · Nov 12, 2018

Phil Ivey is a very good player, but I think Daniel Negreanu is better than him. Daniel is more aggressive and more strategist than Phil Ivey.

JSLuckySJ · Nov 12, 2018

There are many very good players, and i think Daniel Negreanu isn't the best player, but it's very intresting to see how Daniel playing poker.

I believe that Negreanu is still a step ahead of many players

west28 · Jan 18, 2019

the old dates we all know and the names have been mention above, but these days I mean like now the best poker player in my opinion would be

Justin Bonomo actively winning and highly on top earnings

freddydr87 · Jan 18, 2019

This year Sam greenwood has started with strung.

JAAMEZz · Jan 18, 2019

justin bonomo. his first half of 2018 winnings is insanity

smknginmaine · Jan 18, 2019

Stu has to be considered. He's unarguably the best Gin player- EVER. As far as hold 'em goes.... He's in the conversation. JB has been really hot in tourneys of late. and solid for a long time... Best ever, eh... Hasn't done long enough or proven in enough game variety for my list, but one to watch for sure.
Tough but still think I'm taking Ivey. Long term. Cash, tourney, multi game formats.
If we think poker... not just hold em, not just tourneys, not just recently (past 5 years).... That shrinks the list considerably.

r21sp · Jan 19, 2019

This is a difficult question and needs to be divided into 2 categories - the first is online, one of the best players online is Artem Vezhenkov (veeea), he won the SM 3 times in 2018! the second category is offline - there are many favorites, but I think that Bodyakovsky is now one of the best

bereckelya · Jan 20, 2019

In my opinion the best are Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey. It is difficult to choose one.

I may be a little ignorant on the topic as I don't know a lot of the really great new players but sticking with the big boys, Ivey, Daniel, Helmuth, Seidel are all very, very good. Surprisingly, there isn't a huge difference in talent between the best and amateurs but it only takes that small edge to dominate the poker world.
