Rank the HSP season 3 players.
 

1- Daniel Alaei
2- Doyle
3- Daniel Negreanu (A lot less spewy than last season, definitely a winner in this game)
4- Chen (Don't really remember that much from him)
5- Wasica (I know we only saw him play one hand, but that is enough to show us that he is better than the rest of the players)
6- Matusow
7- Ramdin
8- Sheiky
9- Jamie Gold

Overall everyone seems exceptionally passive so far.

Re: Rank the HSP season 3 players.
 

Buss > Gold

both are probably -EV in the game, but Buss much less so just because he seemed alot more ABC.

Gold has no concept of preflop starting reqs. or position it would seem, most likely because he thinks he'll be able to take the pot away later with bizarre bluffs. The fact that 4+ people are in routinely the freaking hand doesn't seem to dissaude him.

This strategy might not be so terrible in a game with people who had no idea how you played or against total passive rocks but every top player at that table knows his M.O. to heart, they have probably played with players exactly like him many many many times.

I very well might be biased (I openly admit to hating Gold) but he's by far the worst player I've seen thus far on all three seasons (it's close between him and Shaminari the gynocologist dude)

Re: Rank the HSP season 3 players.
 

I like Doyle and Mike Matusows game the most so far this season.

Re: Rank the HSP season 3 players.
 

Are we supposed to rank the players just on how they've played so far this season or on how good we think they're overall?

Re: Rank the HSP season 3 players.
 

You're seriously putting Gold head of Ramdin and Sheiky? I think Gold would have a tough time beating a live 2/5 game. I think he's even worse than Buss. I mean Buss is weak-tight and might as well play his hand face up but he'll lose his chips at a much slower rate than Gold.

Overall I've been most impressed by Antonio, I know he hasn't appeared officially yet this season but overall he seems like one of the trickiest, hardest players to play against.
