You need another entry for the woman that I saw at Foxwoods go 13 raises on the river in a limit 2-4 game with a king high flush on a paired board. She raised till she was broke. In limit. With the 6th nuts.

Point is that no one in your poll is even remotely close to being the worst poker player of all time.

Somebody called my value bet on the river in a .25-.50 game with Nine high. <=== I vote for that guy.

It just seems pointless to complain about bad play at the WSOP ME. If it upsets you that much then a) stop watching it and b) consider giving up poker because obviously you aren't good at not letting inconsequential things tilt you.

Jamie Gold of course. Not only is he a bad player, but he's a douche aswell. Same can't be said for Yang and Moon.

Played one night with a guy who played every hand and called every bet or raise on every street, then at the end had to have it explained why his hand didn't win (except for the one player he beat five or six times, which was hilarious).

Even discounting that guy, every regular can think of one player who has played every night for years, dropping a buy-in or two or three in 19 out of 20 sessions. That's your winner.

This. Also, I'm not going to dig through the thread to check, but I would imagine Dmitri Nobles would be an obvious choice.

Anyone who pray to god before flipping his cards when making a call should be labeled '' Worst player of all time '' so the vote goes for Mister donkaments itself : Jerry Yang

If I ever see Lee Childs in real life i'm gonna punch him in the face for making Jerry Yang win the tournament like this.

Yes, because it was extremely important that his wife knew what he had that hand.

He may be one of the worst to make the FT, but the worst of all time title is rediculous, there is a bloke who sits on streets dressed in rags shaking a cup that I walk past every now and again. He sits in the same spot in the city every day, I might assume he is a worse poker player than Darvin Moon, should he also be in the poal?

FYP

i voted for yang because his final table was ludicrous. open raising 6-8 big blinds is beyond horrible.

Excellent point. He should have played according to the prevailing common wisdom and finished in 8th place, which is where he started the final table.
