Good Bet Mate is the best by a country mile. War Eagle who occasionally plays there is quite good too.

This statement is serious hyperbole. There is no player at any level they play regularly at that is a country mile than the second best player - it doesn't even matter much what you choose as a criteria. I don't know this player, but I bet he's not a country mile better in winrate or winrate against other tough players than someone like War Eagle.

Also note that in an objective criteria, winrate against other tough players is not very important to total winrate until you get to limits above 10/20 IMO (kind've a guess here, don't have much firsthand experience - but when I was playing NL, there were lots of terrible 10/20 players.)

Maybe by your standards. I guess its subjective when you say best though. But my datamining friends have him at like 1pt.

are you actually quantifying the term "country mile" here JV? I was simply stating that Good Bet Mate is the best 5-10 player, and no one else I have seen is close.

xRatholerx is supposed to be very good right?

I'm suprised many people on this board give so much credit to GBM (at least from the few threads i've seen him mentioned). Maybe i've just happened to have something like half my total play against him while he was tilting, but I have seen him make some very questionable (i.e. bad) plays and calls against me.

Ratholer's moved up to bigger games on FTP.

Some people think the best player is the one who outplays them most - this is incorrect - the best player should be the one who gets the most money. I would not be at all surprised if Don's datamining friends have a much more accurate picture here.

Hiltonian - GBM is a tilty LAG - I've seen him play excellent, take a bad beat, and begin to three bet everything. He's very hard to play against but that doesn't mean he's the best player.

Anyone want to bet on how long this thread stays open?
