Here are a few that have earned my respect over the past few years.

Lederer, Ivey, Juanda, Hellmuth (Even though I hate him), Matusow, Raymer, Harrington, Cunningham, Gracz, The Grinder (Mizrachi)

I will give you Ferguson, Phan, Chan.

As for Amarillo and Doyle...not so impressed...how hard is it to win the WSOP when there are 8-32 players in it, a little different to throw them into the mix, with the good players of today.

Annie Duke is just ok, she won that Tournament on TV by delivering bad beats to at least 2-3 players, including her brother. But the main reason I can't stand her is because of some of the things I have read in players blogs, from Daniel Negraneu to Paul Phillips and others have said she is the biggest bitch in the world.

Raymer plays the best bully I've ever seen. My favorites are probably Ivey and Brunson. I also kinda like Mike "the mouth". He cracks my shit up.

I agree Raymer is solid, nobody can deny that now....I too like Matusow, that guy is hilarious.

You are right about Doyle, he still plays decent. Cunningham is very solid, he is on Full Tilt Poker all the time, I have played at the tables with him a lot.

I like Gus Hansen...His loose agressive is really intresting to watch...very unpredictable...Also Andy Black...WSOP Main Event Final Table...Mixes up his play very well and got very unlucky 2 get knocked out.
