The March version of “The Nuts” where it ranks the top ten poker player in the world was released by ESPN.com. Not only that it ranks the best living players but also determines who is playing the best poker as of the moment. In ranking, all the variations of poker has been considered whether it is live or online tournament and cash games. One of the members of the voting panel is Dan Cypra from Poker News daily. Dan is accompanied by Gary Wise, Andrew Feldman, and Bernard Lee a columnist of Poker News Daily.
The Editor-In-Chief of Bluff Magazine Lance Bradley is also one of the members together with senior writer Jessica Welman, another Editor-In-Chief from PokerNews Metthew Parvis, tournament reporter Don Peters and PokerRoad’s Court Harrrington.
For the four months that “The Nuts” is ranking poker players, one name is at the top of the list. Phil Ivey is the man when it comes the game of poker. Even if he did not have live poker tournament success last February, his cash game prowess is still standing out. Ivey gets credit because the evaluation is not limited in only one month. Outstanding results in months were considered in making the vote.

Doyle Brunson was known to be a Twitter Aficionado. He has been twitting to feed updates about the happenings in the DoylesRoom. Through his Tweeter feed, he can update the poker industry with his prop and sports betting and providing everyone a seemingly endless stream of blonde jokes.
Brunson, ten-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner made a comment to President Barrack Obama made from his twitter account. In response, he received a barrage of Tweets in response to his post that say “The Democrats say ‘give Obama time.’ Us Republicans [sic] agree, 25 to life seems appropriate!”
Some persons commented on Brunson’s post that it was stemmed from racially motivated feelings towards the President. However, after a couple of hours, Brunson made a new statement that his post has nothing to do with the color of the skin of the President. He also added that he may not like the 1st year of ruling of Obama but this has nothing to do with his physical features.
As of the moment, Brunson appears to be laid off the political Tweets for a while. The Full Tilt poker Red Pro and the 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen disagreed with the Tweets of the poker legend.
