Top 5 lhe players in the world

I wondered what the top 5 best lhe players in the world was.

I thought if all the high stakers here who probably played with the top 5 made a top 5 here we could get close to the actual top 5. Thought it would be a fun idea to put all those top 5's together to create an ultimate top 5 which probably isn't very far from the 'real' top 5.

I probably never played with the top 5 cause I never played higher than 50-100 but since I'm the topicstarter here's my guess:

1. Hoss
2. Bryce
3. Quaternion
4. Joe Cassidy
5. Patrik Antonius

I'm curious if anyone puts Hoss on anything else than first place

Re: Top 5 lhe players in the world

How many times did you write "top 5" in there? Anyways list looks good to me, I would have to imagine that KPR16 is climbing up the ladder.

Re: Top 5 lhe players in the world

I guess your top 5 is heavily weighted towards HU players.

agreed

in a 6 or 9 handed game i dont think any of them would make the list, possibly joe but i dont really like his 3-4 handed game, although ive never played with patrik and never played 3-9 handed with bryce, so could be wrong

also i dont know if this is the case now, but there was a time when hoss would not play joe hu

hoss may or may not be the best hu player, but i dont think you should consider one of the worst regular professional high stakes 6 handed players as the best all around limit holdem player in the world

there are also quit a few very good players who dont play quite as much on the internet, i think any list not including tommy hang is certainly incomplete

also, LOL @ guildwulf being mentioned

Re: Top 5 lhe players in the world

1) The guy who made the most money
2) The guy who made the 2nd most money
3) The guy who made the 3rd most money
4) The guy who made the 4th most money
5) The guy who made the 5th most money



That is to say, you'll never ****ing know b/c the top tier don't readily share their $$$ results, and when they do, its very quesitonable.

Re: Top 5 lhe players in the world

I don't know I thought it would be fun to speculate about. I placed it in HSL cause I thought you high stakers know best. I don't know maybe my list is HU, but I was actually curious about your lists.

Where stands St1ckman, Valesco, Otterkopf, etc etc. I thought it would be interesting to know.

Re: Top 5 lhe players in the world

Trying to get an answer to this question would only be funnier if the poll was taken in Commerce top section.

Besides, the answer is so clearly Rob Hollink, the reigning world champ, that this thread is unnecessary.

i cant decide what's funnier: the fact that you mentioned gildwulf or the fact that you grouped snides and gildwulf together
