Dario Minieri? Are you having a laugh?
Just because the guy runs like god, doesn't make him the best in the world. He's an absoloute spewtard at full-ring, and isn't that great at 6max. He's one hell of a HU player, but when you start adding more seats in, he's just awful. Next someone is going to start saying how vietcong01 is the best in the world, whereas he's just living proof of the one donk who has experienced near perfect positive variance. I feel sorry for his opposite number, whoever that is.
The best in the world would probably be Brian Townsend, although he doesnt play much anymore cos he's too busy counting his money from CardRunners.
Patrik Antonius also doesnt play much online anymore, but he used to cash out half the deposits ever made on FTP. Oh yeah and specifically on FT, Urindanger has been making a killing recently.
Oh and Dario Minieri went to the WSOP dressed as Harry f**king Potter. That's not the sign of a sick player, it's the sign of a f**king wierdo. |

Well, I am somewhat new to online poker, which is why I was asking for other opinions. I am just stating mine from what I have seen. I don't know how well he performs at cash games, because I have never seen him in one. HU, SNGs, and tournaments he has made a ton of money at.
And BTW, I would dress like Harry Potter too if it could help me build a chip stack the size of a minivan! |

I've watched Dario lose $40,000 in an hour stretch to one guy. I have seen him win a few too, but overall, out of what I've watched, I'm not overly impressed with his online play.
Daniel N. aka Kid Poker at stars is pretty impressive. |

whats his screen name? I've only seen him play in the last WSOP.He was running real well for a while but then lost his mind and then his chips. Patrik, Daniel are great players but what about David Benyamine? He was takin peoples chips left and right at Omaha and in last season's HSP. Frankly, there's too many much more experienced pro's out there to say one person is better than the other. Everyone can be a great player if they're given the cards or can read well. |
