Who Are The Most Overrated Poker Players? (and Why?)

[VincentVega]

if you can make millions playing poker, its pretty hard to be overrated to me, scotty, daniel, goehring..ect, if thats the case, i wish i was overrated

the stupidest comment so far has been the guy who said Jennifer Harman was overrated. She's a big winner in the biggest cash games in the world and she has good tournament results. In fact, she's underrated: she isn't universally known as the best woman player in the world, when she's leaps and bounds above any other woman player.

you are right that she may be underrated, but what evidence do you have that says shes a "big" winner in the big game?

In what i have seen on TV, she is not an active player in either tourns or cash games. she lays back too much playing too few hands which is not usually consistant with many of the top players. She appears too weak a player.

and while not related to her play, i still cannot get out of my head the fit she had at the wsop main even last year when her opponent toyed with her and beat her with a strt flush.

I had forgotten all about ivy when i made my initial post, howcver, i have seen him get a little steamed at time also, whereas i have not seen Forrest get steamed regardless of what happens.

I would also put ivy in the overated players, even though he is a great player becasue he is made out to be a god from olympus. he is tops, maybe even best, but they have made more out of him than is justified. thus he is great and maybe the best, but is overated, nonetheless.

I have very little to back this up but I'll throw it out there. What has Mike Caro done that couldn't be done by anyone with a degree in mathematics? I could be way off base but as far as I know he hasn't done as much for the game as it seems, and he hasn't had very good results in anything I've seen.

As for his writings and teachings, he has had a big influence in the game. as a player, i think he was once a top 5 draw player. as for current tourns, it doesn't appear that he plays much anymore. i don;t see him as being overated. he has been a teacher to us all.
