I think this changes ever so often for me basically when someone is seen more in the media or wins something maybe.

There are so many top pros to choose from online, live and across all the variants but for me right now my favorite overall player issssss

Tom Dwan

As a lot of you may know my job involves a lot of social media which is posting poker clips and basically if it wasn't for Tom I would not have much exciting new content. He really drove the games, brought something new and created action. Some of the plays he made were 5 years ahead of his time and just so good overall.

In tourneys I think maybe Vanessa Selbst ebcasue she would seem to be one of the few real threats to the male dominance in WTPs.

In cash I like jungleman because he's a it odd, a bi tin his own little world it seems to me, a bit tilty and still crushes the game.

Such atough question though and Dwan is doing things nobody else has even thought of so no complaints about that choice.

Do you like Vanessa's personality? I find so many people slag her off.

Damn my typing has gone tits up as wll now!

Interesting question and frankly I can't shed much light on it. She's obviously worked harder than most and taken a lot of stick along the way and I have heard of people not liking her much. I wonder if it's to do with the male ego crap and being outplayed by a woman?

Humberto Brenes is one of my favorites. I do not know if he plays these days. He seems to be so happy all the time. Eli Elezra is another one. The reason is almost same. He is always smiling and laughing!

You know why he is happy right?

I heard he is worth hundreds of millions from businesses he setup 30-40 years ago!!!

You mean Elezra or Brenes? Well, I know that both of them are very successful businessmen :).

I meant Brenes.

Elezra owns a lot of property and does construction in Vegas however I am not sure how profitable that is anymore. Also did you see the Shaun Deeb interview about Elezra owing him and half of the poker world money and has been dodging it for a very long time?

No, I did not know that. Very disappointing info ofc because I have always liked him. On the other hand I liked Chris Ferguson too before the black friday.

Yeh I always thought of Eli as the trusted one and the rich fish who has just done it right and is now probs pretty breakeven in the mixed games.

Was sad to hear but not the first time someone of this character has been called out and won't be the last that's for sure.

Whenever there's big money involved there will always be dodgy people, regardless of how rich they are or how much of a good person they are usually.

Fav player, for me at the minute has to be Fedor Holz, absolute phenom and he's still a kid, I would put my bets on him becoming the all time winningest player
