How does this thread not have a poll?

In order of impact:

Moneymaker
Negreanu
Ivey
Brunson

I think you can only have 10 options for a poll.

Because there would only be 1 name on the list ...

I like your idea to list separate Mount Rushmores. The problem is that you are basing it on eras when in reality it should be ALL time greats so eras are irrelevant. What we need to do is to look at three very different types of poker (Tournaments, live cash, and online cash) and it would produce three very different Mt Rushmores. I think the tournament is fairly easy with Dneg, Helmuth, Sidel, and Ivey (or maybe not). But cash online and live are wide open and only Ivey possibly belongs on all three of them.

Tourney Mt Rushmore:
Dneg,
Phil Hellmuth,
Erik Seidel,
Ivey but maybe Bonomo or Chen or even Antonio.

Cash live Mt Rushmore:
Chip,
Doyle,
Ivey,
Dwan.

Online Mt Rushmore:
No idea, there are way too many names and flavor of the year changes too quickly.

Let's build him a monument!

Pretty sure he's already got one.

Here ya go...

Doyle Brunson - the father of poker

Phil Ivey - widely regarded as the GOAT

Phil Helmuth - The most bracelets

Daniel Negreanu - probably the best individual marketer of poker, and of the 'old school' guys, I would say the most well known in the super rec world

This is so good haha

Doyle
Hellmuth

These 3 for sure, 4th one is debatable.

Isai Scheinberg gets a spot among this "top four" memorial, and

that is not seriously debatable.

Phil Hellmuth
Daniel Negreanu
Peter Eastgate
Phil Ivey

Sort of similar to the actual Rushmore. The first three were the obvious ones, then the fourth guy was more or less the artist saying "he's my favorite, that canal thing is cool plus this guy is so badass that he gave a speech immediately after getting shot."

Also, I always like the idea of FDR speaking warmly at the dedication then turning to the artist and saying, "Bro, you couldn't have waited a few more years? Or do you want a Third New Deal?"

Phil Ivey just won the 25k buy in short deck NL event at the Super High Roller Bowl beating Chidwick heads up.

He is definitely on Mt. Rushmore for sure with Doyle and whoever the other 2 players are.

Dandalos, Moss, Ungar, Reese, Brunson, and Ivey.

can we not get a scammer Mount Rushmore?

Bonomo
Bonomo alt #1
Bonomo alt #2
Bonomo alt #3

Should probably have the dude that invented the hole card cam.

borovetz for mt. scam more

Or the dude that invented television.

His name is Holey McHolecards. Show some respect.

Hi Tracy:

Based on what I've read, Holiday was the best poker player of this time with Earp being a close second.

Best wishes,
Mason
