Re: Best tournament player of all time
amusing thread.
No ZeeJustin option?
my serious vote would be that I suspect Ivey is the best.
But it's extremely difficult for ANYONE to say based on the limited, edited exposure we have to any of these players (much less the fact that most observers don't know what they're seeing anyway).
At last year's WSOP prelim event that I played ($3k NLHE) Huck Seed mentioned that he believed Phil Ivey could win up to 20 bracelets (I think that was the number, it was really high...might have been higher than 20) if he really wanted to but that would mean playing the smaller events of course.
Tom McEvoy looked at him with raised eye-brows and seemed to doubt that claim.
Huck reiterated that he was quite serious about that.
But, then again, Huck can be kind of dry sometimes and I've been known to have some pretty unsubtle sarcasms fly way over my head.
