    Quoted from this months Bluff

    Question is...is this accurate? He is really the most recognizable player in the world? Maybe his name but not his face?

    Inaccurate.

    Hellmuth would take the prize I think.

    I honestly think the average Joe knows Moneymaker before Brunson.

    I reckon its fairly accurate, he's been playing for so long that there are generations of people who would know him. Could be a tie between him and Hellmuth for the same reason i guess.

    In Europe i'd guess that Gus Hansen is by far the most recognised poker player (by name appearance and reputation). But ultimately i dont think you can say if this is accurate or not, it boils down to sample pools and opinions.
