I would have to go with Tom "Durrr" Dwan (or whatever his name is). That fucking guy seems to be winning everything.

As far as the poker question I like Gus Hansen.

I try real hard to like that black dude Phil Ivey, but he is so hard to watch play. He's always keeping stats in some kind of notebook and working out side bets that never get explained.

I tell you though its hard to watch the guys that were legends just a few years ago (Mike Matasaw, Phil Helmuth, etc). Some of those guys have completely lost their game.

Its a young mans game in tournaments.Helmuth is still pretty good.The talking and schtick get in the way of a lot of good play from him.Matasow is seems to be done since he got clean.

Ivan Demidov plays somewhat good too ...

Moneymaker?

Chris Moneymaker? wtf has he done in the past 5 years?
Helmuth is still pretty good, but he's become the laughing stock of the rest of the players so it gets a little tiresome of the sideshow when he's playing. But he is still so annoying that he is fun to watch.
Daniel Negraneau is good. And so his Howard Lederer.
Oh and there is some French (or whatever) chic that is kind of skinny with long blonde hair that always wears sunglasses and one of those big poofy hats pulled down. I have no idea her name, but she plays a very quiet solid game.

That would be Vanessa Derusso (PS?)

I don't know. I saw her take down a table full of all stars the other night on Poker After Dark. Her game was solid all the way through.

That Unabomber guy is pretty fun to have at a table. He's one of the few of those guys that actually has a personality.

The results of the study, which were presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of College of Psychiatric & Neurologic Pharmacists in San Antonio, Texas., found that 80 percent of the 198 poker-playing respondents used substances such as marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, Valium, other prescription medications, caffeine, energy drinks and guarana to try to enhance their chances.

Pot does not enhance your chances.

It cracks me up when they act like marijuana is a "performance enhancer". If anything, you should get double credit if you can still win while stoned. Same with the Olympics and all the Michael Phelps drama. If dude can smoke weed and still win more medals than anyone else, well...

That is a pretty stupid statement. 80% of 198 people polled used one of the following:
Marijuana
Cocaine
Amphetamines
Valium
Prescription medications
caffeine
energy drinks
guarana
Seriously? They put marijuana and cocaine in the same category as coffee? wtf is that information worth? I'd be surprised if you could find 80% of 198 people that do anything that don't drink coffee or an energy drink.

I always loved watching Negreanu
