You hear a lot about all the terrible players on Replay, and to be sure the unskilled outnumber the skilled—as is the case everywhere 
But there are also quite a few ringers on the site, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Who are some of the strongest/toughest opponents you have faced, either in ring games or tournaments? I’ll start by naming 3 in each category.
Ring:
@vulgarman - great all-around understanding of the game. plays strong ranges but also mixes it up and shows up with the nuts in spots you would never expect. fearless! not afraid to call down without the nuts.
@MansoorH - more balanced than he seems, despite seemingly betting 100% of the time lol. hyper aggressive, but knows when to get out. the toughest heads-up Hold 'Em opponent I have faced.
@MissAces - one of those crafty, slippery players who MOSTLY plays in a reasonable manner, but then sometimes goes bet-bet-bet with some random backdoor draw and gets there to crack your big pocket pair or flopped set. Just when you think you have her figured out, she crushes your dreams.
MTTs:
@AlmostLive - solid ranges preflop according to position/stack depth. Very canny postflop - understands which boards are more bluff heavy or value heavy, when top pair is the virtual nuts and when it’s highly vulnerable. Has one of the most well-protected checking ranges out there, a key aspect of tournament play that many (myself included) don’t manage well enough.
@TheSilent1 - probably the all-around strongest MTT player IMHO. Stingy when calling, aggressive when leading, and capable of both relatively GTO and highly exploitative play. Often seems to either get knocked out or have a huge stack—exactly the way you’re meant to play MTTs.
@TMauga - perhaps not the most “technically perfect” player but has great instincts and ALWAYS goes for it. A terror to play against in tournaments because one way or the other, you’re going to have to put your stack at risk to get through TM!
OK, those are just a few of many for me… who ya got?
