Many morning water-cooler chit chat, discussions and even heated exchanges is centered on who the biggest poker star there is really is. Is it Doyle, who is by today’s standards considered the grandfather of poker, or is it the exuberant and magical Kid Poker Daniel Negreanu who holds the title? Some card-deck know-it-alls, might retort that Phil Ivey is the king of poker, or even the sometimes insane, but always entertaining dane Gus Hansen. Full tilt poker has managed to use all these names, save Doyle
Brunson as catalysts in pushing their product across, and of course it cannot be argued that FTP has some of the greatest players in its stall.

The argument can be a fierce one as styles will be argued, and even aggressiveness at the poker tables is considered a tool as most of these players are already infamous. Mike “The mouth” Matusow is more known for his gibber jabber than his poker skills, although his skills are nothing to scoff at. He finished in the final table at the WSOP and his high stakes action on TV and in private rooms like the one at the Bellagio are also impressive. His bad beat for 165,000 dollars at the million dollar cash game
against Erik Sydel is one for the ages as Erik had runner, runner sevens to beat Mike.

Truth be told, any one of these players can be pegged with the title of Poker Star, so the choice is always the eye of the beholder because they are all winners in the Poker world.
