1) Jealous mofo
2.) They do play each other, but common sense = no point playing the best all the time, when plenty of fish in sea etc
3.) Prob Kevboy from what I have seen on here

goldeneye has little willy syndrome and is just a tad jealous

Players who respect each others game at this level will stay out of each others way.
Why play someone when you have little/no edge??

Not really sure who the best is as I dont rail/play that high up.

I think Kevboy is the best.... he adapts quicker than anyone

golfpro and james666 are much better than goldeneye imo because they are well-rounded players. they can adapt to pwn in an mtt as easily as they can to middle or high stakes cash, whereas goldeneye just plays short handed cash at 5/10+ and from what i've seen, he doesn't play anything else.

to my mind the best player is the one who can turn his hand to any form of poker, not the one who just specialises in making people tilt by being rude and then taking their money.

kevboy, beyne, tiptop, dappa, gretty etc are also all very good imho.

p.s. beyne loves playing golden and plays him a lot... i've seen them clash quite a few times in the last 2 weeks and big sums of money have shipped back and forth. beyne isn't just fearless, he is a sicko adrenaline junkie.

All that said Golden is very good at what he does and if you are an unsponsored pro then nothing is more important than reliable and constant income, so i don't blame him for sticking with what he's good at.

I been playing PKR for a good 3 yrs and seen James at the top consistently making money all that time.

There have been players who have kinda taken the high stakes by storm for 6mnths - 1 year then they disappear or u see them on 1/2 tables. James and Kevboy have always been up there which is a huge measure of how good someone is.

But at the moment on pkr Golden is one of the best. Live is another story that Goldeneye doesnt really wanna answer.

You wouldn't want just the most successful players as your sponsored pros surely?
Why sponsor someone who is going to beat the pants off everyone on the site and abuse them while they're doing it?
You want players who will be your ambassador and who can connect PKR to other players out there.
Look at the stuff that Discomonkey and James666 does on the forums and Ashley Hame's amusing output - that's the kind of collaborative approach you want.

@ Jabba, tbf I consider a player who makes large sums consistently to be better, I don't know much on the subject but by the sounds of things that'd be golden - why play MTTs when he clearly doesn't need to.

im not high stakes player but at my games im always known for saying that someone can not consider themselves a great poker player when they can only play one type of the game ie hu what jabba is saying is that james666 and goldpro ect have proven themselves in many types of game therefor being able to call themselves great poker players not just great internet heads up players

indeed MoF and yes arron i agree with your last statement which is why i included my final statement above .

But at the end of the day if we are talking about who is better then you could only say Golden is better at short handed cash (even that is debatable)... if we look at long handed cash, MTT or SNG knowledge then i'm pretty sure he is well behind the team pros that he loves insulting so much

I'm not saying he isn't a great player, just that his skill appears to be so specific and narrow that you can't call him the best 'poker player' imho.

Goldeneye is just a stupid kid that raised his small ego because he won some money. He probably has a lot of personal problems but whatever its not my problem

I play him a lot, just not everyday. i'm not in the mood to play him everyday so sometimes i'll juststick to easier opponents

i think golden has proved his the best nlh 6 max and hu player, at least his got to be the most profitable?

i couldnt care less that his a whiny little bitch with social problems, his good at nlh lets be honest.
his also pretty disciplined, he avoids kev because kevs good, i remember like loads of months ago when golden was grinding 2/4 regularly with 120k bankroll or something.
guys got sick discipline

While I dislike Theo as a person at the tables because hes an obnoxious twat, he is obviously a very good hu player. 6max he is also decent-ish. After looking at all the 6max stats I have when we've played on the same tables (roughly 5k hands - not very much) he is farrrrrr nittier than he proclaims to be, he is not the next FullFlush by any means. I am constantly berated as being a nit by him, and I admit this to a certain extent as everyone knows, but he is a huge nit but talks the talk to make it appear he isnt one.

Who cares, he wins very good money and when he has taken shots at 5knl he has run like utter g0d. Not to mention when he took shots vs Beyne HU 2knl a few months ago, he also ran ridiculously hot. Thats part of poker, run good when it matters.

He hasnt proven himself in any other form of poker, no mtt success, no live success, no high stakes SNG success, no limit holdem success, no PLO success etc etc. Which many of the others, Kev, James, Golf, Beyne etc have done, even I have been successful in other areas apart from just pure NLHE cash games - nothing like the others but I make good $ in other areas/variations of poker.

But he sticks to what he is good at and making him the most money at atm and who could blame him, winning 35k in a day for 2 hours work would make an mtt or sng or anything else seem petty.
