Many pros also deem Phil Ivey to be at the top of the game at present... Who am I to go against this?
But to really prove it, what the game needs is STATS and a true world championship open to everybody regardless of buy-in... Great sites like The Hendon Mob show results of cashes etc. but do not list all the times players have bought in. Hard to know therefore if a player is a winning/losing player overall.
Match Poker at least generates stats galore and other IFP events in future will also aim to do likewise. I'd love to see a rigorous test of pure poker ability worldwide that say produces some child genius world poker champion from a remote corner of the earth. A world championship conducted as other mind sports are might just do this one day. And in the Olympics (@CBON, 19) some day... Sure!!!
