Re: who is the best NL hold\'em player?
Shane, I made my list from people who I have observed a lot and talked poker with (with the exception of Alex Jacob, I just really like his hair). I think they're amazing players and I do think they have a ton of experience with NLHE and tournaments and in my opinion I think any of them are better at NLHE than Phil.
There are a ton of really good players out there and I think it's ridiculous to say that one person is above and beyond the best player in the game. I think Phil has a ton of things working for him, and he definitely has the best image of anyone in the game right now. I think he gets folds 20% more than he should simply because people are terrified of playing hands with him.
And yeah, I do favor the younger players because I am one of the younger players and I think a lot of things that the older live players do just aren't correct.
