    WAtched HSP last night, saw the Premier League, and some of Full Tilt's Million Dollar Cash Game and Dwan is just killing every1. Is it save to say he is now the best NL Holdem player there is now?

    IF not, who else you think is better...

    You have to pick 1 player to play a tourny and a cash game who are you picking?

    cash results, which are far more important, i dont think you can really put any player who plays tourneys primarily in the top 10

    The world is a big place.
    To say him or any single man or woman is best is a little absurd. As far as the players we see on TV and in front of our face on a regular basis then yea he is obv one of the best. But so is Ivey, PA, Benyamine and many others.
    You can't just appoint that title to any ONE person.
