Literally huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they might improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.

Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

by Carlos on Tuesday, December 20th, 2016

Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?

The Importance of Poker Seating

Texas Hold’em is all about people and seating. All knowledgeable Holdem enthusiasts concur that seating in no cap Texas Holdem is fundamentally significant. Showing your hole cards in last spot may be much more profitable than in early poker spot. This is because a lot more data is gathered before acting.

e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash match at a local casino. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to see some fun. Flop came down A-A-4. A gambler in early position made a fifteen dollar bet. 2 individuals drop out and it was now my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but his play felt a tiny bit off. I read this individual as a weak-tight person, and usually if he had the strongest hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn arrived with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My challenger laid another bet of $20. I deliberated a little bit, but took a chance to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I take the money.

Sitting at late position offers you an idea where you stand by observing how individuals react and wager. On the other hand, players at early position may use their poker spot to check-raise the late seated antagonists and trap them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, each spots, last and starting should be bet cautiously.
