Our (totally biased) view is that he is awesome, even better than Tikay.
Tikay will almost certainly post on this thread saying he's better so in advance of that - SIGH.
i would have to say no.....sam trickett was the biggest earner of all brits last year
(i think) some where in the region of 5m.
and jake cody has smahed the poker scene and is the youngest person to win the triple crown.
then again winning the most money and being the best player are not necessarily the same thing.
to get to trickett and cody's level means always being away at the next big tourny where as julian has a family and obviously wants to devote time to them.
so in reality we may never know
only one way to find out...........FIGHT!
no
The boy Thew is a decent kid, I give you that, but class? I think not. You seen those Jesus sandals he wears?
OK, he binked the SPT, but he got so lucky, exactly as he did in those three GUKPT's, the EPT, The Monte Carlo, etc.
Wait till he's taken down the Luton Monday night jobbie before comparing him to me, please. I'm different gravy.
lol
Although what i will say is Julian has been at the top of the British game for a while, always with the top names of British players. Cody and Trickett are both fairly new names to the scene and Julian obviously as mentioned devots alot of his time to his family. And rightly so imo.
However does that mean that Thewy isnt as good as these players, remember alot of his "big" results came when poker was just starting to get big in itself. World Series prizepools show this. So comparing on money and results imo is completely wrong.
There is one classic way to find out but it would involve a 4th player so the next big british name, although theres alot that could fill this gap. I think a player with similar experiance to Thew would be ideal, Neil Channing maybe? Where they would play a best of 10 KO HU tournament with their own money imo.
Julian
Tikay
I think when you get to such a high standard, it's very hard to differentiate between them and as has been noted, Thewy has a family to enjoy and so doesn't play every single tourney under the sun.
It's like when people say Joe Satriani is better than Steve Vai (or vice versa), when you get to that level, either one of them could play anything the other one could.
