With the explosion of poker these last 3 years oh so, and the influx of new strategys and play styles... it is hard to rate the older players.. maybe not hard, but just too early...
I am impressed with someone like dan harrington who makes it to the final table 2 years in a row... but more so, because he does not cry if he does not make it...
Carlos Mortenson won 5 of his 6 elimination matches for
Poker Stars II... not sure, maybe 4... definately 4, and I think 5.. anyway... that is the kind of gauge I look at.. and I have never heard him brag, like say, oh, I don't know.. Phil Hellmouth or Mike Mouthasaw...
