World's most overated player?

I saw Chris Moneymaker win a $10 + $1 rebuy tournament on Pokerstars, which for those of you who have played these things know it's a very hard tournament to win. Therefore I don't think he's as overrated as everyone says he is, you all are just jealous that you can't win anything lol.

Matt Lessinger in "The Book of Bluffs" and Tom McEvoy in "How to Win No Limit Tournaments" have some VERY complimentary things to say about Moneymaker. Both say that Moneymaker's wsop win isn't the fluke a lot of people say it is and that he's a top notch player.

Raymer has 8 of those side tourney bracelets over the last 2 years. Some people count them and some don't. I think if it is not from the main event then it's not the real deal.

My bad...I had no idea he was even around the scene until he won the big shabang. Goes to show how much I pay attention.

It depends what you mean by overrated. I take it to mean that their recent success doesn't warrant their media exposure. As much as it pains me to say, Doyle Brunson is overrated, at least as a tournament player. Yes, I know, Back to Back WSOP champ but that was 27 years ago. He's not in the top 10 for sure, but he is the most recognizable face in poker and he is a legend.
Clonie Gowan is another one of those overrated pretty faces. Another overrated face that isn't so pretty is Mike Matusow. Obviously pro caliber but that mouth of his is what has made him famous, not his skill. He's a Helmuth wannabe without the talent.

Overrated player?

Francesco Totti is the most over-rated player in the world. He is a pile of arse IMO.
