Some of us have played the game a few times and have managed to win on a couple of occasions. They are those of us that seem to win with all cards that they are dealt. The experience that these people have managed to garner and continue to do so has lead some people to call them the best in the world. Some people call it talent some call it playing everyday but what ever it is these players deserve to be called the best poker players in the world.

The first player to get such an honor is Phil Hellmuth. A role model to the young up coming poker players as he is the youngest player to show that you do not need to be old to be a seasoned player. He won his first World Series Poker Tournament at the age of 24 if he was an Olympian then he would be the best of all time has he holds nine gold bracelets (bracelet equivalent to gold medal). This is not to mention the loads of prize money that he has won along the way. He is also an author having written several books on how the game is played. He also writes for a magazine where he is one of the featured writers. There are other players like Doyle Brunson. Chip Reese and Johnny Chan. What makes these players the best in the business is their ability to make a lot of money at the money games and be able to dominant in tournaments that offer less money. The beauty of such players is that they do well in mixed games. More often that not you will find that players will do well in one aspect of the game but fail in another. There is however one question that is more difficult to answer and that is the best player in the world.
