I don't think, that we can talk about the best poker player. I rather describe it as a group of players who are capable of reach the most high places out of the same tries from very similar opponents. Yeah, it's hard to measure it. :)
However..Statistics can lead you closer to your statement, but I still believe that there are hundreds maybe thousand of players, who can be mentioned here.

They are lots of players who are amazing and it all depends on which format as well cash or tournements. My favourite player used to be Jason mercier when I grew up watching the late night poker shows I'm not sure how successful he still is I know hes won a lot of bracelets.
The prize money is a lot higher than it used to be so players like Bryn kenney and Justin bonamo are at the top of these lists due to recent wins.
They are a lot of online crushers as well who go unnoticed.
Very difficult question and I couldn't pick just one person

For me Daniel Negreanu is the best.
Despite the years he remains competitive as the first day. Your game adapts to new players and does not lose its validity. An example.

Is it about offline or online? It's difficult question for me. I would say that players who didn't have access to so many available programs in those days are different from current realities. I like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu.

I think the best poker player is Daniel Negreanu, as he has a predisposition for excellent card reading

This seems impossible to nail down but Phil Ivey is one of the best.

My opinion

Right now I think its ZORBA or WOOWHOSUE. Everyone can ride the ride and sit out for a while, or get off table. Those two remind mE of LuvBeinABrat, fruitbotton and pretty****y. Pokerstars refugees. Everyday same table same hook. If you want tourny do a pokerstars dance with 8000 to 20,000 people. I can no longer go there. But ask some if they remembered the UncleConRon and DaddyConRon deal. Remember they knew who EYe was by chat. Would even look them up. If you go there.

The best poker player has the patience to play his best card hand in a multi-hour game without losing the blinds. He has strategic and cascading profits in the game. Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey, Patrick Antonius are worthy of the star for the title of best poker player. :)

In poker, the matter is simple - the player who has won the most money is the best :)

Negreanu has tended to come across as a fairly decent player, so he'd probably be my pick. Interesting to see Hellmuth not on that top 10 list from Dzob - he's been a visible name for some time, although admittedly he has sometimes seemed to go on tilt, which is part of why he can be amusing to watch.

There cannot be the one and only player...different periods, different tournaments, different circumstances. It's not like football whrere all teams or individuals are playing in one league. So i think it's impossible to compare.

There are a lot of great players right now, both live and online

If I had to pick one for each I would say ALL in PAV or Lex or Michael Loncar for online

And Ali or Altman for Live

Difficult to list. The game's variance ends up leaving excellent players without proper evidence.
But for me, Phil ivey is still a point off the curve!

Results, that should be a major part of the process. Lot of great players who can read a table and play at high level of skill. You know what they say, "proof is in the pudding".

Personally I vote for Tom Dwan (durrrr) but Negrenau is one of the bests indeed when we talking about reading signs.
