I also at one time thought Daniel was the strongest player, but I have changed my opinion. I think there are much stronger players in our Community. :unsure: You will play some tournaments against the sharks of our forum in the future and then you will remember my words. :eek:

I don't know if there is anything that says who is better, but in my opinion Nacho Bardero or Adrián Mateos are at the top.

I think it's hard to define who is the best poker player, there are a lot of good players in certain period of time

I think Daniel is the goat
I think the best one is me.
I'm serious. I think I'm the best because I'm very smart and promising. I play very well, and if something doesn't go according to my plan, of course I'll blame it on luck, or rather the lack of it. I don't understand why Daniel is the best for you, what has he done for you?
If he hasn't done anything good for you, why is he the best for you?
There has to be some logic when choosing the best player. I can give you a lot of arguments why I think I'm the best. But I don't have a single argument why I should consider Daniel or any other player to be the best.

There is no single factor that determines success for poker players. On the one hand, it is the amount of prize money during their career. However, it is impossible to accurately calculate the profit of a specific player online and at offline tables in a tournament - there is no common base.For me, Daniel Negreanu.Negreanu has had eight career cashes of over $1 million.

The title of "best poker player" is subjective, as it depends on various factors such as skill in different game types, consistency, tournament results, and overall influence on the game. However, a few players often mentioned in discussions about the greatest poker players include Phil Ivey, known for his skill across various poker formats, Daniel Negreanu, famous for his strategic play and ability to read opponents, and Doyle Brunson, a true legend with multiple world series of poker titles. Ultimately, it’s difficult to pick one "best" player as poker has many facets.

Eminem's favorite rapper is Royce Da 5'9"
Jay-z's favorite rapper is Talib Kweli

Kanye West's favorite rapper is Kanye West...

Be your own favorite rapper (Poker Player)

Little joke but also true, no one is wired to play poker the way you are, become your own favorite player and unleash the beast.

Despite appearances, get used to the fact that I am the best player for myself of all time 😏🤣🧐
Who dares to contradict me? Let's go up to $100? 🤣🤣 Double what I'm used to 😀🤣

I respect you and wish you the best of luck!

I think it's hard to name the best poker player because the game has so many facets. Players like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Justin Bonomo all bring unique skills to the table. It really depends on how you define 'best'—cash games, tournaments, or consistency over time.

I have a great respect for Phil Helmuth. I think a great poker player has to have won at least a bracelet. Phil has also written a book on poker and is a charismatic type of guy. For me he is a complete pokerplayer

I like a lot Negreanu, but who is the best is debatable and can change very fast...

I believe that the best poker player is in our community, and this player will wipe the nose of any poker player in the world. And this is -

There is really no way to determine who is the best of all time. To be honest could we even agree on top 100? I doubt that too. I don't recall the player who said this but I do agree with what they feel.

Most likly the best true player in the world maybe a person we dont even know is out there. He could be just playing cash games for one. Or he just players smaller events when he does play tournaments. We all know the players who are personable and want to be famous but the best player maybe just happy not being know too.

I think it’s someone we don’t even know, someone who doesn’t want the credit or recognition, someone who is grinding and killing it quietly like a sniper.

This is complicated to answer, many things must be taken into account.

Everyone agrees that the most profitable player is the best player, so Daniel Negreanu is that player.

If we measure it by winnings, this past year the best player is the Spanish Adrian Mateos, with almost more than 13 million dollars in tournament cashes, but in online and live cash I have no idea who he is, but for me Adrian Mateos is the best live poker player in tournaments.
