DB is by far the best player i've ever seen online, much more aggressive than Ivey and is smarter than Dwan. Ivey's biggest pot online has finally reached the 400K+ and was a the result of a donk move from Laliberte who has too much money anyway. Hansen is a great live player but is one of the biggest fishes in online poker, as for Antonius, very solid and no nerves, i root for PA end DB to finish 1 and 2 before the end of the year

I would say it's fair to assume that Dwan has won a lot more online than Ivey
Very unlikely. Durrrr sometimes plays on stars although big games rarely run there but most of his play on FTP now. Ivey is almost certainly up over $10m online. He won a lot from Texaslimitking in 2006 and was winning at omaha h/l and horse before they were tracked here. Antonius may have won as much as Ivey online but that's about it. Benyamine would if he had better game selection.

Not quite sure about this post - Benyamine is a great player no doubt but his online score is still very much in the negative. He admitted to losing around $8m online last year so has a long long long way to go before catching any of the others mentioned. Also, the piece about Ivey is pretty dumb - he's won more than Benyamine every single year playing only a fraction of the hands. And whats this about his biggest online pot "finally reaching 400k"???? before the 500/1000 tables were introduced a couple of months ago there were only like 2 or 3 of those pots ever!!! I'm guessing that great poker players make most of their money from mid sized pots where they play the hand well enough to not get to showdown. Also no point in bringing Laliberte into this, I think it's fair to say that all these guys have feasted amply on his fortune in the past!! Even Benyamine himself admits that he sees it as a real achievement if he ever beats Ivey - that's cos like it or not he is simply the best.

Benyamine has the worst game selection ever. Also Ivey lost alot of money online in the beginning as well. For instance he lost tons playing TLK HU for 1k/2k FL back in the day etc. Still Benaymine is the best PLO player to ever walk the earth and he is miles ahead of Ivey, Unfortunately he isnt as good in O8 which is a huge leak for him against both ivey gus and some others. On the other hand all. Im pretty sure that since Omaha is the biggest game pretty much in Online highstakes poker and he totaly crushes everyone at that game, he could be the biggest winner ever if he didnt lose so much money in the other games.

Yeah, he is pretty awesome at PLO i'll give you that. PLO was the top game for sometime but seems that an awful lot of action is taking place on the $500/$1000 NLHE table as well as the $2000/$4000 LOHL tables these days and you're right DB has a huge leak in those games.

No he didn't, I have thousands of hands from hu sessions between TLK and Ivey was up a lot against him, as was Antonius. I don't think the gap between Benyamine and Ivey in PLO is that big, Benyamine just plays way more and Ivey often plays $500/$1000 PLO against very good winning players, where nobody would have a big edge.

IMO Ivey Is the best all around poker player they are hands down. Even the late Great Chip Resse said Ivey was the best poker player meaning If It's NL, plo stud etc... And even more alot of Great poker players have said Ivey was the Best and thats coming from most that have played him and even some that have played him  but won't play him  anymore, even durrr has said he wouldn't play Ivey live. So imo to have so many not just a few but 99% of the pros you ask who the best Is they say Ivey to me thats really saying something. He has great BR management, game selection etc... Just think what If he had logged the hrs durrr and DB has WOW Ivey's DaMan!

Michael!
