Annie Duke overrates herself. She has been calling herself the "Best Female Poker Player"(which probably isn't true), yet on ESPN refused to play the ladies event because she claimed that there shouldn't be genders in poker.

If both statements are true, this is hilarious.

I used to think Phil Laak and Antonio were overrated, but seeing them on HSP they're actually pretty good.

Overrated : pretty much anyone who's won a big tourney, since they'll get "rated" far more than they deserve for the win, which is 99% luck. Agree with Daniel N, Scotty, also Gus Hansen, Carlos Mortensen, Alan Goehring, Joe Hachem, etc.

I don't think Antonio is overrated. He plays very few tourneys compared to most other pros, yet he still has some really nice results. Actually, he said recently in an article that he doesn't play much poker anymore at all these days, cash games or otherwise.

So people consistently cashing and having big results in tournaments is 99% luck?
