There Is one player who has been to more festivals than most,and has NOT had a losing tour yet...

Ladies and Gentleman i give you ..... COLCHESTER KEV !!

I believe Colchester Kev won a poll at the end of last year.

Then Nomosos changed it  Angry

The people had spoken, naming Kev player of the year. Our collective voice was stiffled by the original pollster as he didn't think we were serious.

This is taking just comps into consindaration;

Ram Vaswani
Dave Colclough
Dave Ulliot
Surinder Sunar
John Kabbaj
Julian Thew

they are the cream of the crops of english players, if u ask a Norwegian "know it all".



I think you mean British, Dave is a Scottish based Welshman  Wink

Or even English based

Given that there are concerns over the European ranking system, would it not be best to come up with a new system that means that the players attending the bigger events and cashing at these are given more credit than just the cash?

Perhaps Blonde should, maybe, for 2007 come up with a claendar of say 6 or 7 events and award points to the top 10 finnishers and have a small presentation at the end of the year, perhaps even inviting the chosen player to he Blonde Bash and  awarding them with a plaque.

As flushy pointed out earlier... do cash games count?

Also Peter Costa, seems to be hugely respected in the US and rumour has it he's pretty handy at limit games too!

Here is a thought for you.....the unknown poker player!!!!!

There are many on line players that dont play many live tournaments and concentrate on on-line and live cash games, they play the occasional tourney and not always in the U/K. I know of several 2/4 - 3/6-5/10 nlh players who are making a very good living( over £150k pa)and never appear in any forum or magazine.

Before the WSOP there where many grifters who made a good living out of poker,today there equivilant are on the net. I am sure that poker will continue to be judged by rankings in tournies and quite right too. I do however believe that many of Europes top players are not even noticed through there own choice of using multiple on line names at differeent sites. So I believe the best players today are those that have earned a steady income and are likely to continue to do so.

My vote goes to one of those players.
