**** Rank your top 10 Live Pros Thread ****

[MarcusMPG]

Obviously when considering the best pros, we have to consider if we're talking about live players, or online players. Well, for this thread, let's keep it to live.

For those who might consider the difference between cash/tournament players significant enough that combining the two is immoral, post two rankings...top 5 for MTT and top 5 Cash.

For those who have grudges, post a bottom 5 if you want.

My list:
1. Phil Ivey
2. Daniel Negreanu
3. Tom Dwan
4. Mike the Mouth
5. Antonio Esfandiari
6. Johnny Chan
7. Allen Cunningham
8. Doyle Brunson
9. Phil Hellmuth [for his tourney play]
10. ...don't know

If Daniel Negreanu and Phil Laak are on this list, then I should be too. And seriously, how much would Ivey, Dwan, and Antonius pay to have Negreanu, Chan, and Esfandiari at their table? I'm guessing a lot.

It's like you started a thread and listed all the poker players you know, which is apparently only 9...

My list:

1. Chris Moneymaker - Best bluff in the history of poker vs. Farha.
2. Jamie Gold - Saw him make a sick hero call for all the chips with only top-top.
3. Philip Hilm - Very tough with a big stack. Expert in ICM.
4. Phil Hellmuth - Destroys everyone in the biggest cash games.
5. Jerry Yang - Plays a revolutionary LAG style that no one else understands.
6. Eric Molina - Gambler.
7. Annie Duke - Crushing everything she plays since the poker boom.
8. Joe Cada - Always knows when he's going to hit a two outer. Possibly psychic.
9. Howard Lederer - Very dangerous player. Like a more aggro version of his brother Annie Duke.
10. Aaron Kanter - Great player. Busted Ivey and Raymer in WSOP 2005.
