Phil Hellmuth
Mike Matusow
Lee Watkinson
Ted Forrest
Allen Cunningham
Agree/disdagree? Doyle lacks the stamina for big tournies, and Ivy has been nowhere to be found lately.
I have very little respect for most supposed "pros", but here are 5 world-class TOURNAMENT players

Yeah, here's a hand me and ChanceP played in a HU tourney.
Hero - KK, villian xx
Hero raises pot to 60 villian calls....
flop J 6 4 rainbow
hero bets 120, villian raises to 390, hero reraises to 900 and villian shoves
Hero snap calls villian shows Q10 off suit. gg.
ChanceP sucks.

Matusow has placed very well in at least 2 recent WSOPs. That says a lot to me, but he is also capable of going broke with 1 of his admitted blow ups. He acknowledges that he can be his own worst enemy. And Lee Watkinson summed Matusow up perfectly by saying he does something brilliant 1 minute, and something idiotic the next.

I agree, he is a good player but not in the league of the others in that group.
When he makes a bold move if it works it is GENIUS. If it does not they just called it a matusow blow up. He gets a pass when he makes a donkey move, they just have a name for it. A matusow blow up.
You guys who play alot know a huge part of poker is not making great moves, it is avoiding bad ones. Many pros make a living off us making bad moves not neccasarily being creative or making good moves in thier own right.

Every time I see Matasow take a step forward I also see him take two or three steps back. He seems to lacks the discipline and consistency of this group.
I'd definitely put Negraneu in the top 5 (his reads are amazing) and possibly Juanda (he always seems to put up consistely good results) , maybe Chan, and Ivy even though he chooses to play more cash games because he does well against against fellow pros in big tournies.

Wow, a lot happens in 5 years. Pair of 9's becomes a pair of Aces? I bet in 5 years from now, Farha will have a set of Aces.

Farha had Qs9 and Moneymaker had Ks7(I think), Moneymaker turns a K high flush draw and open ended straight draw, he then proceeds to raise Farha on the Turn, I don't think Farha could of called his shove on the River, you would think CM would of had nothing worse than 2 pr by then.
