You posed a question.

And the answer is a question.

Why in gods **** does it matter?

if you told him it was 100k nl but he was really playing 100nl players, then yes. otherwise he'd probably be an even huger station than usual

I don't think either of them is all that great.

Ivey is down almost $2,000,000 online this year and Negreanu has cashed (live) for $1,700,000 this year but when you subtract his buy-ins, his profit is $3000.

So (online) Ivey has lost about $16,000 per day this year and Negreanu (live tourneys) has earned $25 per day this year.

I don't see how you can call anyone who loses $16,000 per day or makes only $25 per day a good player.

imo Ivey is not the King he once was. This is all opinion of course and anyone can disagree. Like Tiger Woods, Phil Ivey is not as dominant as he once was. The person I think is the greatest player today is Phil Galfond. I'm also very impressed with Patrick Antonius as he has been able to come back and win consistently post bf online. Something Ivey has not been able to do. As for the question in this post, Ivey is the better overall ring game player. Negreanu is the better tournament player today, but is pretty close lifetime. just my opnion though

You dare question the ability of Ivey in the sacred halls of 2+2 where he is known to walk on water?

I hope karma does not get you for such blasphemy!

And Negs has good morals? Ever see the vid where he flipped over a card v Eli? Snake! Obviously not officially "cheating" but just not cool. Sneaky stuff. I would probably trust Ivey more tbh
Could have written this post almost word for word myself, except for the ("Dnegs probably started this thread himself). Well said man.

+1 on Daniel is a snake. Don't really like him or dislike him but I recognize a snake at the table when I see one. And he's always been one.

The entire premise of this thread is asinine. No informed, competent poker player thinks Negreanu is better. Not even Negreanu, who isn't really informed or competent, thinks that Negreanu is better.

Given recent posts ITT, it seems like the more interesting question would be, "Who is the better human being, Negreanu or Ivey?"

That one's a little tougher.

A case could be made for Daniel being better at NLHE. Scott Seiver has been on the record saying NLHE is Phil's worst game so yeah, when you see it from that perspective it seems easy to pick Phil overall.

I wonder who would win in a HU mixed game though, Ivey or Blom

I would take Negreanu for NL Holdem tournaments.


I am not sure about blackjack, sports betting and other versions/games of poker tournaments.

Ivey's association with Full Tilt makes me suspicious of the success he had on Full Tilt.

But does Ivey's WSOP success make you suspicious of WSOP?
