In my opinion, this is Daniel Negrianu. It has a combination of effective play and pleasant poker behavior. It's so nice to play with him at the same table and watch him play and how he behaves when streaming poker tournaments.

I don't think so
also, who you think is better poker player than Stu in his prime?

The question-Who do you think is the best poker player in the world.
Should you start a thread asking who do you think is the best poker player who has ever lived, Stu Unger would certainly deserve serious consideration.

Today I have no doubt that our compatriot Nacho Barbero is No. 1, not only do I say so, but the statistics worldwide.
For me the best of all time is Doyle Brundson.
With great profits at the MTT and Cash level.
My opinion on the one I like the most, and Phil Ivey can hahaha.
Greetings compatriot:):):)

in my opinion it's Daniel negranu, he revolutionized the way live poker was played using a lot of his oratory in his opponent reading strategy.

For me, the best player in the world is Adrián Mateos. He is one of the best players of the moment.

Obviously Daniel Negreanu. I've seen him read people spot-on, on many occasions.

Determining the "best" poker player in the world is subjective and can vary depending on various criteria and opinions. There have been numerous highly skilled and successful poker players throughout history, each with their own strengths and accomplishments. Here are a few notable players who are often regarded as some of the best in the world:

  1. Phil Ivey: Phil Ivey is widely considered one of the greatest poker players of all time. He has won numerous World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, has a successful track record in high-stakes cash games, and is known for his exceptional skills in various poker formats.
  2. Doyle Brunson: Doyle Brunson is a poker legend and an influential figure in the game. He has won multiple WSOP Main Event titles and is renowned for his contributions to poker strategy through his books, particularly "Super/System," which is regarded as a classic in the poker literature.
  3. Daniel Negreanu: Daniel Negreanu is one of the most recognizable and successful players in the poker world. He has amassed multiple WSOP bracelets, has achieved significant tournament earnings, and is known for his ability to read opponents and make precise decisions.
  4. Fedor Holz: Fedor Holz is a young German player who made a name for himself with remarkable tournament performances and high-stakes online cash games. He has won multiple high-profile tournaments, including a WSOP bracelet, and has consistently achieved impressive results.
  5. Phil Hellmuth: Phil Hellmuth holds the record for the most WSOP bracelets, with 15 titles to his name. He is known for his strong tournament play, brash personality, and ability to perform well under pressure.
It's important to note that poker is a dynamic game, and the landscape of top players can change over time. Different players excel in different formats, variations, or eras of the game. The "best" player is often a matter of personal opinion and can be influenced by factors such as tournament success, longevity, consistency, adaptability, and contributions to the poker community.

Additionally, there are many other exceptional players who have made significant contributions to the game and have achieved remarkable success. It's worth exploring the diverse talent and skills within the poker community to gain a broader appreciation of the game and its top players.

If we look at who has made the most money in poker so far, Justin Bonomo, after all, has made the most of the game.
But who is the best? I don't think even the top 10 could decide among themselves who is the best.

I think there is no definite answer, you can count dryly mathematically on the money won or bracelets world series of poker and choose the best. But my opinion is the best Daniel Nigreanu, I like his game. And of the girls, I always like to watch Liv Boeri play. 😍

It is a difficult question to answer due to the different modalities that exist, in terms of live tournaments I think that currently Adrian Mateos is among the best

There are a lot of different poker variants.

The best at limit holdem is probably not the best in the world at stud.

The best HU cash deep stack player is probably not the best at HU hyper sngs.

There are lots of bests, it just depends on what variant.
