Who's to say who is the Best Poker player in the World , but I were to emulate any poker player it would be Johnny Chan , consistent , doesn't bluff off chips , can lay down aces ... and his record speaks for itself .
Still get goose bumps every time see this mofo , sure every one agrees his 3rd win would have been made him the best poker player in the world , but alas we have to argue who is the best when we know Johnny Chan is the best poker player in the world thats why when you get up in the morning u think Johnny Chan , when you drive to the casino you think Johnny Chan , when you pick up your date , you think johnny Chan , when you order a pizza ........ johnny Chaaaan

Good trick to score fast free cash to improve your game with. They will double your initial deposit also multiple other sexy perks. Sucks but its limited to the first 4000 people that create an account using it
@888edward888 I think Seidel was trying to make it look like HE was bluffing. If he'd only bet 30,000, it would look exactly like he had a pair of queens and was betting for value, and Chan wouldn't have called with a marginal hand. Seidel was trapped because Chan obviously had the nuts, but if Chan had Ace high, he might have called the all in, thinking Seidel had missed a straight with king high or something.
why would you go all in in a headsup with the top pair and a 7 kicker? the only calls u get are from AQ or higher......he should have checked or made a small bet and when chan raised him realize that his pair of Qs (especially with the 7 kicker) cant be enough
no. it's not "OVERACTING." Acting like you have nothing is reverse-psychology. but this is reverse-reverse-psychology. seidel knows if chan overacts, than he could possibly be pretending to overact to show strength when he has NOTHING.
chan is overacting, seidel knows it could be a fake overacting. i.e. chan acting like he has nothing when he in fact DOES have nothing. so chan COULD have nothing and STILL act like he has nothing. it's reverse-reverse-psychology and reverse-reverse-reverse psych
@ironmaidenrulez Good actor? Chan's over-acting was so obv he'd fail any casting call for a B or D rate movie. Seidel's problem is he wasn't watching Chan, he was watching cards. So he bluffed off his stack.
@BPMSmith Actually you are rite. There was a movie i watched before i write that comment, rounders maybe, i think i've been influenced of it. Now i watched again and nothin i see for bein actor from Chan ;) People changes. lol.
@eddycadub well he knew he'd win the hand, but he knew well enough to check it down to the river and not raise him out of position. There wasn't even a check raise on this hand!
@YouCanCallMeAl1022 what u said doesnt really make sense cos chan was in poisition, seidel check raised him on the flop, and he flats, then they both check the turn, and seidel shoves the river for value. no doubt chan played his hand well.
@eddycadub good point--chan was the one in position. Well in that case chan knew that he could call it the whole way given that seidel would raise it the whole way.
It's easy to say that when you aren't in his seat. Chan played it patiently and had the nuts, I'm sure top pros like Ivey and Antonius would also get suckered in the similar situation.
This is one sport that money can't buy. No coach, no manager. No free agent contracts. Nothing to do with age or weight; just one on one survival of the fittest--lurking for that one twist of fate. Johnny is king of the jungle.
Came so close the next year to 3 in a row too!! Except that little geek Hellmuth won it instead...
And i don't think their was any need for Seidel to go all in on the river their for his whole tournament life with Top pair, shit kicker...but it's easy to say that when we know the whole cards i guess!
okay so chans on the button flops a straight seidel flops top pair tough situation once you bet big on the flop as seidel does cuz he has to keep firing
No as long as you dont put your cards past the action line or bet line then you are fine. in the WSOP they can make you sit out a hand for exposing your hand but with sidel all in it dident matter. Let me tell you how knowing the rules can help you. i was playing live and it showdown. i was beat he turned over his cards and threw them in the middle. it one card touched the muck i turned over the loser and before the post was pushed the i called for the floor.
Let me tell you how knowing the rules can help you. i was playing live and it showdown. i was beat he turned over his cards and threw them in the middle. it one card touched the muck i turned over the loser and before the post was pushed i told the dealer to stop and i called for the floor. i said hey this guy threw his cards in the muck. the floor said dead hand. i took the 400 pot with the loser. racked my chips and got the hell outta there.
you know that's terrible poker etiquette right? you may save your ass in a tourney, but it's bad sportmanship and just plain rude towards your fellow player.
Yes its terrible poke etiquette. but its about making money anyway possible in with in the rules. I dont care what people think about me. I only want their money
It depends, in cash games you can do pretty much anything as long as no one minds. In tournaments however it really depends on the rules and how lenient the tournament directors are. I was playing a tournament the other day and someone did something like this and the director called the hand mucked even though the dude was pondering whether he should call or not.
you right, aIso it's a finaIe game as aII we know so he's not poor of course. but we re taIkin about onIy this hands, and there s a scene in the movie; the rounders , that s how peopIe caII him there whiIe watching this game.
You river shove to get someone off a hand like top pair (see 2003), not when you have top pair, because anyone with better than that will be calling your river shove.
Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel, Allen Cunningham, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu... 5 BEST. All in all, this is the best final 2 in WSOP main event history. FUCK Hellmuth, he's good, but not as good as the mentioned 5, IMO.
haha, give credit where it's due. Hellmuth acts like a prick and a whiny bitch during poker when things don't go according to the way he expected. But Hellmuth has most bracelets and defeated Chan legitimately.
Not saying Hellmuth's not a good player (obviously he must be to win all those bracelets) ... but look at how many events he's played in to win his 11 bracelets. Chan has 10, and he's probably played 1/5 as many events.
And I point this out b/c I think Hellmuth is a whiny bitch ... lol
Yes, Hellmuth is a great tournament player however hes a HORRIBLE cash money/ ring game player. Chan/Ungar/Brunson and Moss are the best there ever was in poker and nobody can beat those four in the long run.
Don't forget about Ivey. He's probably the best all around player there is. Better than Negreanu I'd think, and even Negreanu has said so on several occasions.
I completely agree with you. Eventually they'll have to change Negreanu's name from "Kid Poker" to "Kid Perfect" for playing perfect poker the majority of the time.
Also, apart from the fact that you mistook obvious admiration for insult, why would you automatically assume racism? And then you call Seidel a "white faggot"? What the fuck is wrong with you. Sounds like your the racist.
Seidel wasn't bluffing, he had a pair of queens with no overcards, no possibility that Chan had a flush and only 3 cards in a possible straight. I'm not sure on the exact numbers but the probability of his pair being the best hand was around 90%. In fact the probability of getting a straight on the flop is only around 0.4%. It was a lucky hand and Chan played it perfectly.
Yes but is that a value bet? Do you really hope for a worst kicker than a 7 to call for his tournament life in the WSOP? Or do you hope for a better kicker to fold?
you guys are fucking idiots holy shit. When you say johnny fucking chan" its a way of emphasising the individual, its a modern way of showing how important or good someone is, its like michael fucking jordan. you idiots who think its an insult get off your comuter and ur fucking monitor tan and go talk to people in the modern fucking world.
Johnny fucking chan??,why?,because you racist white faggots don't like Asians?.Johnn chan's the man,yea knocked that white faggot Eric Fucking Seidel out.That white faggot tried to bluff,hahahaha.
this is probably the most well known hand in the history of poker, to be honest. and its great if you watch rounders with commentary by ferguson, moneymaker, chan and hellmuth. they talk about how this is one of the best played hands ever, mainly because chan knew how seidel was playing (i saw the whole final table online, he is crazy fast and aggressive) brilliant hand, and play by chan.
I still don't fully understand the all-in move by Seidel. Johnny was acting weak so surely on that premise, going all-in on top pair was a bad play. If Johnny really was weak - there was no way he could call. If Johnny was strong - Eric had lost and was out.
Surely if Eric thought Johnny was weak - checking and getting him to "bluff" was the correct play.
it's funny considering johnny chan who is such a great poker player and has won 10 bracelets and is only 37th in lifetime winnings. If a person with no bracelets were to win this years WSOP main event they would have over twice the amount of money won by johnny with just one bracelet.
You also have to take into account just how many guys he had a piece of. One year he had half the winnings of both the 1st AND second place finishers at the WSOP.
Johnny owned him by showing exactly how you trap an aggressive player. But Johnny was overacting and if Seidel would've watched his face instead of the cards he'd have avoided a bustout.
Worst move ever. You could spot all the poker tells on chan from miles away. That and there was a straight possibility on the table.
Can't believe this guy won 8 bracelets

I completely agree with you. Eventually they'll have to change Negreanu's name from "Kid Poker" to "Kid Perfect" for playing perfect poker the majority of the time.

Also, apart from the fact that you mistook obvious admiration for insult, why would you automatically assume racism? And then you call Seidel a "white faggot"? What the fuck is wrong with you. Sounds like your the racist.

Seidel wasn't bluffing, he had a pair of queens with no overcards, no possibility that Chan had a flush and only 3 cards in a possible straight. I'm not sure on the exact numbers but the probability of his pair being the best hand was around 90%. In fact the probability of getting a straight on the flop is only around 0.4%. It was a lucky hand and Chan played it perfectly.

Yes but is that a value bet? Do you really hope for a worst kicker than a 7 to call for his tournament life in the WSOP? Or do you hope for a better kicker to fold?

and you are so extremely gay it's unbelievable.You just don't want admit that putting "fucking" in Johnny Chan's name is offensive and racist.
GodOfPoker1983 3 years ago
Apparently you don't know the use of "fuck" in modern english. Johnny fucking Chan is just a way of stressing the importance of the person.
"Yo this guy's pretty good."
"THIS GUY??? IT'S JOHNNY FUCKING CHAN."
And watch out what you call me punk.

this is probably the most well known hand in the history of poker, to be honest. and its great if you watch rounders with commentary by ferguson, moneymaker, chan and hellmuth. they talk about how this is one of the best played hands ever, mainly because chan knew how seidel was playing (i saw the whole final table online, he is crazy fast and aggressive) brilliant hand, and play by chan.

The perfect example of acting weak in posistion of strength, Classic hand, great play from Chan, The master!!!!
PaulMercedes 3 years ago 11
I still don't fully understand the all-in move by Seidel. Johnny was acting weak so surely on that premise, going all-in on top pair was a bad play. If Johnny really was weak - there was no way he could call. If Johnny was strong - Eric had lost and was out.
Surely if Eric thought Johnny was weak - checking and getting him to "bluff" was the correct play.

but what about lifetime cash earnings.. u still got to give johnny some credit for 10 bracelets as well
bloodfoxtrue 3 years ago 6
how is 37th funny? that is pretty successful
carusoson 3 years ago 5
it's funny considering johnny chan who is such a great poker player and has won 10 bracelets and is only 37th in lifetime winnings. If a person with no bracelets were to win this years WSOP main event they would have over twice the amount of money won by johnny with just one bracelet.

You also have to take into account just how many guys he had a piece of. One year he had half the winnings of both the 1st AND second place finishers at the WSOP.

Johnny owned him by showing exactly how you trap an aggressive player. But Johnny was overacting and if Seidel would've watched his face instead of the cards he'd have avoided a bustout.
