Justin Bonomo the best NLH tournament player ever? - Page 2 - Poker News

I'm not one for arguments over something of who's the best at anything but bonomo would obviously be in the discussion or on the list of talking about some of the best tournament poker players...

Sun running...he's been a crusher for a long time.

He could potentially never cash another tournament again and probably be able to reach out and get staked by any of the top pros or money men.

He can probably play poker the rest of his life of his credentials and winnings...that's kind of the end goal in poker isn't it?

So this is an elite player having one of the best years anyone has ever had. If Mike Trout hit 70 home runs this year we might ask if he was the best ever. And that we be okay, even if he was "sunrunning"

Therefore I deem this thread and question appropriate.

He's been a grinder for years online and live but what makes him playing like a beast recently but not before this year?

He was just as much of an expert last year, and the year before, as he is now. He wasn't recently bitten by a radioactive spider. Variance my man. But if it'll really make you happy to hear randoms say he's the best, then yes, he's the best. Merry Christmas.

I will look into some of his recent podcast/interviews and hand history this year to improve my tournament game.

But there are actually some baseball metrics that shows when someone is running below expectation, supposedly Carlos Santana on the Phillies is the best .215 hitter in the history of baseball!

I think Bonomo is the best tourney player ever, and I want to talk about Bonomo being the best tourney player ever. It's too bad that due to the heater he's on (the mods?) won't let me talk about it.

How much does his multi accounting play into that? I'll head to wikipedia, but if anyone could give me some cliffs of their own that'd be great.

SOL man, wait until he’s gone six months without a cash

Or maybe only allowed once they go broke, I did not make the rules!

Definitely an endboss. Would be on my shortlist to stake if I had Bilzarian type money.

He should start trying to nullify his edge again.

I think there should be a single hand of NLH between Bonomo, Holz, Colman, Hellmuth, and Ivey to determine once and for all who the best NLH tournament player ever is.

Nah, let Daniel use his mouth. It's his most valuable asset.

He should announce.

Putting Hellmuth in that list is actually insulting.
