Hey,

Was thinking it would be interesting to see who everyone thought are the top 5 poker players in the world.  We can do top 5 cash and top 5 MTTs to make it easier.  Also exclude TPE pros so everyones MTT list doesn't look the same.  I'll lead it off.

Cash:

Phil Ivey

Phil Galfond

Tom Dwan

Patrik Antonius

Dang brothers (Shared bankroll and almost identical profits=same person)

MTTs:

Phil Ivey

Jason Mercier

Apestyles

When I saw the title I immediately thought this was a thread on the best players at TPE. When I realised it wasn't, I thought… what if we had a league table like the one at OPR where we can see how we fair against all the other players on the site, including the pros? For example, every week we could take every member's OPR rankings and put them in a table. Or… (and because UB/AP doesn't show up on OPR) we could use sharkscope or thepokerdb. Just a thought at this stage, and one I will need to put some more thought in to. Let me know what you think.

 

So, without hijacking your thread I guess I should give you my thoughts on best players:
