POKER INFO - PROILE - Johnny Chan

Who would win in a street brawl...J Chan or Hon Le??

Johnny Chan is the master...enough said

Hon Le would probably take down Chan in a sreet fight. He's just so f**king insain!! Gotta love him.

Screw Johnny Chan, its all about the devilfish. Cumon Baby!

I only wish i was still alive to play this man

I am on the run but hell I still watch T.V.And I'll tell you there's nobody better than John. I actually had the pleasure of playing John many years back. He is truly the best and believe me I've played and won against the best of them. He actually took about 133 gs from me. Your friend Whitey.

I saw Johnny Chan once at a table, and I challenged him to play me one on one. He accepted and I took $300k from him in 4 hands, then spit on his face and beat him halfway retarded. That's why he doesn't play as well as he used to.

you should have called my reraise on the turn you moron, i had seven duece off suite and you let me have that 7k pot. its morons like you from asia with no life who come out here and take all the pots. lucky fucker

this guy is the worst player of the year, oh he plays chess for money allso, how can you be such a loser

"Oh I'm in bad shape... Throw a deuce out there dealer..."

That pic of him on the top of the page is probably after he called his whole stack with a K high flush draw when Maker had the A hi to knock him out.

I find it amazing how people can talk shit about a legend such as Chan... He is a poker legend who has made more money then most of you will ever see yet you can call him a bad player?? Ever if he got lucky once or twice shit even 10 times, you cant be where he is on luck... this is a skill game fellas... stop smoking weed and eatting shrooms and you too will realizer that...

don't fuck with Johnny Chan..most people dont know how good he is until they sit down with him. I dare yall to talk shit then.

Saw him take $500,000 from Mr Porn himself...Larry Flint. No disrespect but does he play only in the WSOP? No other tourneys?

G-man what do you expect him to do. Fold to a pot he committed most of his stack, and hope for cards, which he hadn't gotten the whole tournament. Don't analyze the champ until you learn something about tournament play.

I've read though alot of these profiles and the truly sad thing i've noticed is how bitter, jealous and pathetic most of the "poker players" are in the world. Im not sure how you can have a go at Brunson, Chan, Slim or Moneymaker, i mean, they've won titles. Fair enough, most of you out there will believe you have what it takes to beat them, but until i see your name on that list, i think its only fair you give them some respect. Im not saying you need to love them and put a poster of them on your wall, just recognise the achievements for what they are. You'd be pretty annnoyed if people were saying the same stuff about you if you'd won.

OverRated

Ouch, that one hurt. I hate to conform to the thoughts and opinions of others but I suppose I can see what all of you are saying. He CERTAINLY can't expect a bigger flush draw there, and the basic play on a steal would be to bet a flop with an ace so if MM had been bluffing Johnny would have been in great shape. I do not remember how many chips Chan put in preflop/his chip position so that is another point I missed which would be a big factor in him moving in. I guess just looking back I thought he was getting frustrated and just was thinking, "What the heck, let's get it over with", he couldn't get any chips beforehand so I guess you are all correct that he had little choice but to make a move sometime. MM couldn't have played it any better though.

Whenever Mr. Chan sits at a table, he becomes the immediate marked man. The only way he can win big pot sizes is if he does play aggresive and bluff. Cause no one would be stupid enough to go against this guy when he does have a good hand.

yeah johnny chan is hot, he can bluff me anyday!!!

Johnny Chan is no doubt one of the greatest players of all time but... by far the greatest No-Limit Hold-'Em player of all time is STU UNGAR. HANDS DOWN...SECOND TO NONE.

Damn, that is some funny shit "Oh I'm in bad shape... Throw a deuce out there dealer..."

In Mesquite, about 90 minutes from Vegas, I actually base-dealt while taking 30 grand from him. Aggressive players are easier to beat in those conditions. After the game, he overheard me bragging about my cheating, but didn't do anything, not that I give a shit.

its hard to argue with 9 bracelets and back to back main event wins. Only Doyle and Moss ever accomplished that feat and they're pretty much undisputetedly the two best players who ever lived. Chan has to be in top 5 all time, top 3 alive.

I Dont Know How He Won Wsop Twice, Must Of Got Lucky, He Is A Fuckking Shit Player Now, He Fucking Sucks, Makes Me Sick

Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, the best players living today

All right Johnny, on the Superstars show last nightyou played some good solid poker. There were 2 SHOWN hands at least where Johnny was flat out out played, but I felt he played both of his hands decently, just tremendous moves by his competitors. He managed to get his money in two times in great spots and then a third in a 50/50 situation, he lost the 50/50 on the river although it was a 70-30 in his favor so it wasn't unexpected, and he lost KK vs 34c. But he handled it very well as a gentleman...he had a good read on his opponents and may have been throwing out some false betting patterns and consistenly playing his hands in a certain way to trp his opponents later on. On about four hands during the telecast he played weak on the flop and preflop just calling, one of these hands he won a nice pot. The other 2 or 3 he lost a small-medium size pot, he played pretty well, so much better than the whole short-stacked 2003 WSOP fiasco.

Hey Bigdawg. U Couldnt Beat Him Anyday So Shut Ur Face Up. U Make Me Sick

Chan is the Champ, there is nothing else to say. Disrespecting Chan and saying he cant play poker is like saying that Jimmy Page can't play the guitar. It just aint true.

this guy is the MOST overrated player in ALL OF SPORTS he hasnt done a thing since 88 and people still praise him just cuz he won the wsop twice in a row. hey johnny your past your prime RETIRE!!!
