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

[thehotspur]

Patrick Antonius - the human mind hasn't evolved enough yet to appreciate his phenomenal splendicty, I also suspect he only physically appears to us as we wish to perceive him.

Easy. The most underrated players are the ones you never hear about. Alot of the grinding pros at higher(but not necesarily highest) limits in the sidegames.

Most people don't know how to spot a pro if they were sitting right next to one. Most people's criteria is the chipstack in front of the person or if they've been on the cover of a magazine once or twice. Or if they've written a crappy article in a magazine, but the person doesn't know enough to realize that it's crap, but hey, the person must know something after all, he's writing an article.

So in the poker scene, overrated is alot more visible than the underated. By a huge margin.

PA would probably make everyone's best hold 'em players list. Some might even say he's a bit overrated.

I don't say that he is world class, but he isn't as bad as the internet community paints him.

I think I am the first to mention him... Minh Ly, came in 19th place in 2005 and i believe 20ish in 2004 in the ME and Plays in the "Big Game". One reason he is not well known is his english is not very good, But he is a very strong player and THE MOST UNDERRATED/UNKNOWN poker player out there.

AC comes in second...

Jdags and it isn't even close imo.
The guy is playing basically all comers at the highest stakes in the world, in basically in game, in any format (2-10 handed).
No one even knows who he is out of poker community, and a lot of those who do... ?
