The Worst Poker Players Ever!

Negativity is always something I try to fend off but it keeps biting at my heels. Today i am in a negative mood and decided to write a post about the worst poker players ever and what makes them so bad. I can think of a few really bad poker players and for multiple reasons. I guess I have to look at what makes a bad poker player to determine the worst ones ever!

Bad poker players again can be bad for multiple reasons. They can represent the game and the industry poorly, they can be simply degenerate gamblers that just play to gamble, they can be players that invest money non stop into live or even online play and lose, they can be players that are one hit wonders that really have no take or idea on the game, simply got lucky and of course there are cheats which would in my mind make them the worst player ever simply by being one! I am sure there are more reasons for someone being the worst poker players ever but that's enough for now!


If i were to analytically go through each of these categories that make the worst poker players EVER, I could i guess number it down to a few hundred thousand players. I am sure some have cheated, some have just played for the hell of gambling, some are colossal losers (I know I am sometimes - not all the time thank goodness) and some just represent poker and the poker industry poorly.

Making my list into a few hundred thousand players simply isn't going to give me the nuts on the worst players ever. Sorry mum but you would be in that list as you do not even know what 2 pair is lol. To be fair on our well known players i can't be naming them either, most of them are good representatives of the game and are far from cheats or losers and naming any of them would be just plain wrong, especially when they are better players then I am!

I guess that leaves a riddle, who are the worst poker players ever? Is it even possible to name them? I think not! People play poker for fun, enjoyment, as children, at all levels. Poker players have the ability to learn and will learn the game for the rest of their lives.

There is no such thing as a worst poker player ever is what I think, I REPEAT "THINK"!
They can cheat and it doesn't make them the worst, it just makes them down right horrible! They can be a colossal loser but there is always going to be someone who is a more colossal loser, they can represent the game badly but be champions, they can have a bad recorded day, month or year and come back to win a million dollars or they could be a casual drunk at pub poker. It doesn't make them the worst ever.

In summary of my thoughts today on the worst poker players ever, I can't name them, wouldn't name them and are not going to try. Of course you could disagree with me on any of the above and say there definitely is a group of worst players ever. I guess someone MUST fall under every category there is to make them bad! I sure have seen some shitty players that are rude, abrupt, smelly, stupid, drunk, and non stop losers. If you are one of them, I guess YOU are one of the worst players ever lol. I know I don't stink, which makes me not the worst of the worst for starters, I don't think i am stupid either nor always drunk when I play so I can safely say I am not one of them.

P.s. on the naming players, I do not need a lawsuit would be another reason why I simply wont! hehe

Poker News and Poker Results Help Grow Poker Industry


Global poker news is a very important part of the poker industry. In fact; the journalists, bloggers and film-makers of such news have some of the most important positions in this industry. Let's imagine if poker news was never heard nor seen. Would poker be in the boom stage it is today? I suggest not. Global poker news has helped spread the game of poker to every corner of the globe. Without the global news, poker would hardly be known or heard of throughout the world. I have found this applies to all different sectors of poker since the launch of Womens Poker News.

I can use two massive news stories as examples to show exactly how important it is to have poker news published. These two news stories changed poker for good. Without these stories poker would not be a part of the common man's life nor would it be booming in the land down under; Australia. Global news story number one is that of Chris Money Maker. Chrises unique and brilliant storey on his World Series of Poker win rocked the world. The rock was so deep that it made many men alike Chris (tradesmen) head to the felt to be the next world series champ. The news of this victory by a simple tradesman was spread as global news meaning tradesman world wide were now up for the challenge: “If he can do it, I can do it – How easy was that and with such little skill” was the common thought. Thus it wasn't Chris that made a poker boom amongst common men world wide, it was global poker news providers.

My second example would be that of Joe Hachem. Australians went crazy over poker after Joe's World Series of Poker win. Without poker news, we would not have even heard of the win. Australians would still be laying back knowing little about the game – rather then almost every citizen knowing something about it. I remember the days before Joe's win there were not so many Aussies playing on online poker sites as I see now. Now, they are everywhere! Thousands and thousands of them. Also incorporated of course the APL (Australian Poker League).

Although many people in the world did not read poker news from actual poker news sites or publications on these two industry changing wins (as poker was not as common), the hype was broadcast in many news variants from television and radio through to papers and magazines. Since then, the actual tournaments have been replayed also. The point is the news spread globally! The global poker news spread caused the poker booms!

Without global poker news poker wouldn't be what it is today. The roles of the reporters as mentioned above are of most importance. Poker news is responsible for the way poker is today – for without global poker news poker would not have boomed. The stories of the most fabulous and life changing wins would never be known.
