POKER INFO - PROILE - Johnny Chan

johnny chan is the best and he will win in 2004. rounders is a tight movie.

too aggressive, not as good as people think.

Yes johnny chan is a outstanding player one of the best. but i agree with rookie he is a very aggressive player and has flaws but then again everyone has flaws. Johnny chan is the man.

He's better than rookie, I'll give him that.

No, he's no good. He's terrible. I guess being in the hall of fame and a being 2 time WSOP champ doesn't mean anything anymore.....yeah Joe Montana and Jordan suck too.

Chan is absolutely one of the most well known and respected players in the world, but I think I could beat him.

johnny " oriental express " chan is the best poker player ever. Plays aggressive and fearless. # 1 all around player and poker player.

intimidating is an understatement. this guy brings an aura that kills his opponents on sight

Hey Wattam,why not buy in with 10k at vegas and hope to play against him? I think you're sh1t

Johnny's record speaks for itself, two WSOP wins in a row and a final table the third time. He speaks about having great instincts and being tremendously dangerous but in all honesty he played pretty poorly on his TV showing at the WSOP. His call of a reraise with A3c (against the chip leader but still), his call with an all-in reraise with a K-high flush draw with an ace out there--and well that was about it but those are two pretty big mistakes IMO. One of which landed him on the rail obviously. And he did win the A3 hand but he was about a 70% underdog there against a lot of hands. For such a great player I was dissapointed in those calls and his obvious frustration and perhaps tilt to call MM's all-in there with nada.I would love to see Johnny play when he is more comfortable and has a better stack. I just know that wasn't his best game.

Ok, If you won the WSOP twice back to back at a TON of money, of course your going to play the next couple World Series more liberally. Think about it, he's at the point where it just doesn't even matter anymore, but I still think he's the best.

Yes, I agree GOTO, Johnny may just not want it as much any more. But still, I think he should play his best all the time if he has reached this lvl, a lvl where you win 2 WSOP titles. Yes, he is insanely rich but from what I have seen he's not the best, man I want to see him play again though really.

Why is Johnny Chan supposed to be greatest living hold'em player?

Who else?

Johnny Chane use to be a great player, but after he the wsop twice, he doesnt care anymore. I would like to see him actually try to win again.

re: chan's loss at wsop 2003I dont really blame him for going all in with K-5 suited. H ewas getting no action the entire night and for him to get any sort of pile he had to hjave action brought to him. A bit risky yes, but there was no way he could have known moneymaker had ace-8 in the same suit.

Chan probably just wanted to not ride that short stack out another day. He was either doubling up or going home with the K5 of hearts. Besides, he probably won that 10,000 back in about 10 minutes of high stakes action.

Looking at Chan's call from his perspective, it is probably the right move. Let's say he puts Moneymaker on an ace, but no flush draw. Then, Chan has 9 heart outs plus 4 gutshot straight outs. Add in runner-runner ks, 5s, or k5, and he probably thinks he is actually a slight favorite, about 11:10. Combine that with his shortstack and a good-sized pot, seems like as good a time as ever to push in the rest of it.

He is the KING... 9 bracelets says it all

Johnny and Hon Le absolutely rock!

watch out for this guy, i think he has a bright future in poker........ mine will be brighter... MGT

man i wish i was still playin

man this guy made a stupid call with a heart draw for all his chips. im glad i won in 03. the next day i lost 750k to chan so im stupid now.

wanna play? i got a good bankroll

this guy needs a shower, he smells like fish.

I met Chan in Vegas on May 14th. I was playing at $2-$4 table and I think him and Brunson were playing $2000-$4000. This was at the Golden Nugget. I dont know why I posted this, doesn't really seem important, but I thought it was cool.

Is chan still in the tournament? If he is, how is he doing?

not that im aware of.

all the good players get kicked out on BS, there are so many players now some no name is gonna win again like MM (but I think MM is a great player he was just caleld "dead money" before the tourney) and since this is johhny chans post I should probaly say something about him. he's a great player and I like watching him

I hate random no name players winning. Althought I see a bright future for david williams, aparently the youngest to enter or be at the final table, at age 24.
