Within the poker online community there are few situations where the best take on the best is a heads-up, one-on-one, no holds barred poker match. Comparable to fantasy sports games, we are going to find the best of the best, find a worthy opponent and visualize, for the sheer fun of it, who might come out on top.
Now if you are a true poker enthusiast, you will be familiar with the tale of the fisty-cuffs that developed between Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth and Sam Grizzle caused by their fruitless arguments at the poker tables. The physical altercation produced a draw per Phil, but there are credible rumors that indicate otherwise.
Anyway, let’s get back to the felt and start with who many consider to be the best poker player in the world, Phil Ivey. Who would you probably enjoy seeing him up against, one-on-one? It's my viewpoint that the best adversary to really light the fire under Phil and motivate him to gently part with some of his huge stash of Full Tilt Poker cash are the ex-online Full Tilt Poker customers themselves.
It seems to me that as a team they would give the crowned Poker Phenom a run for his money and if the event took place live, he might be advised to take out some considerable protection - and by protection we aren’t talking about the incomparable poker strategy instrument that is BubbleProtection (Earn the Compliments you Are Worthy of in Online Poker Tournaments).
In any event let’s move onto another dream match that could be better thought of in a mud-wrestling ring with the individuals dressed as provocatively as will allow for common decency.
Jennifer Tilly is all about sexual flirtation at the poker table, but Tiffany Michelle might have a thing or two to prove, when it comes down to who provides the most titillation on the felt.
Jennifer can be very aggressive so the edge may have to go to her in this extremely serious match-up. However throw the two participants into a boxing ring in skimpy bikinis and things may play out a tad in another way.
Another fascinating player to watch is Doyle Brunson, not always because he plays a lot of pots, but more resulting from his business-like style and thoroughly determined moves.
I think that a player like Prahlad Friedman - a free swinger, could be the undoing of the Champ and would best challenge Doyle.
Think about it, Doyle bets solid into a nothing board with complete air. Prahlad raises him and chants of his plan to give away his earnings to the most popular charity in the news, Doyle snap-raises all-in compelling Friedman to fold.
Doyle shows the bluff and mumbles, “Once you started that rapping…”
Finally, who would not want to see the great Howard Lederer face off against someone like Russ Hamilton?
The winner gets to for a lifetime have the title of beating the lowest of the low in the poker world and the loser gets to weep about being beaten by the worst of the worst in the poker world.
Now that is a match I would not want to miss!
