No Joke, millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition winnings added up to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?

The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the the most favorable players would regularly challenge one another. He had access into a few of the foremost players in chess. With their assistance, Howard would sharpen his logical thinking techniques. He applied these strategic concepts to the game of NL holdem.

He also helped his sibling Annie Duke master poker. She was a superb student of poker as she constantly asked questions about the right way to make the correct decision. He told Annie to head out to Las Vegas and compete in the World Series of Poker competition. Annie Duke is one of the strongest women players the poker arena has ever seen.
