Best Player to win the WSOP ME Poll

[MaxRaises]

GOLD is the best pokah player in the world

I just have no respect for "old pros" like doyle and puggy and whoever the hell else had 10k to spend on a 10 person tourney and who they thought was good

I mean, 98% of the winnings in those games were attributed to cheating players and having super-fish hand over money

a typical table probably was:

- doyle
- 2 other random "pros"
- 7 FGatorses/noatamias/golds/etc.

with marked cards, bottom dealing, etc.

helen keller could probably win money at that game

Doyle must have adapted pretty well. He is at final table of even 50 now, pot limit omaha I think.

I'm surprised Moss didn't get more votes. I guess young people don't think the old guys had much game, but from what everybody says he might be the best ever. The Jamie Gold and Moneymaker votes have to be a damn joke. That being said I voted for Stu Ungar like most people did.

this isn't even close to true. The average winning online 10/20 player has better fundamentals than anyone did back in those days. See Mason/David's post on the subject.

Is there any anecdote about McEvoy that doesn't make him look highly unimpressive?

I voted for John Chan, he won back to back which will likely never be done again and still plays in big games today.

I think this was mentioned on Poker After Dark by Howard Lederer, but according to him, Ungar has won (not cashed, won) 30% of all his major tournaments that he has played in. It may not have been as high as 30%, but it was still something ridiculous. I think that alone makes Ungar the champ.

I'm shocked I was the first person to vote for Brad Daugherty.

Stu Ungar easy.
