Poker Greats

By: Reincarnated Stu Unger

The use of pocket cam on televised poker broadcasts has had a huge impact on the game. Television coverage exploded, and poker pros became celebrities. Let's see who some of these poker stars are.

One of the most well like stars of today is Daniel "kid poker" Negreanu. He combines his good natured, talkative demeanor, with a razor sharp analytic mind at the tables. His ability to call out exactly the two cards his opponents hold is staggering.

Barry Greenstein is the "robin hood of poker". He donates 100% of his tournament winnings to charity. He has two WSOP bracelets to his name.

Made famous for his outrageous verbiage at the tables, Mike "the mouth" Matusow is great for televised poker. His outrageous behavior, and intense passion creates drama for the viewers. He has two WSOP titles in his resume.

Lots of pros, when pressed for an answer to whom is the best poker player, name Phil Ivey. He has won five bracelets already, and seems destined to win many more. His only weakness in tournaments is that he sometimes plays in cash games at the same time, getting very little sleep.

Doyle Brunson is one of the founding fathers of the success of tournament poker. I believe he has played in every one of the WSOP Main Events. His has an impressive 10 bracelets to go along with two WSOP Main Event wins.

Johnny Chan, two world titles and 10 bracelets almost won three in a row. He lost heads up to Phil Hellmuth in 1989, going for his third consecutive win. His final hand slow play against Erik Seidel, was featured in the movie "Rounders", adding to his legend.

Scotty Nguyen is a WSOP Main Event champ. He made the famous statement "you call this, and it's all over baby", was called, and he was the champion. He added three other WSOP bracelets for a total of four.

Phil "the poker brat" is known more for his famous tantrums than his incredible WSOP record. He has won a record eleven bracelets and one world championship. His outrageous outbursts have been caught on tape, and are legendary.

Stu "kid" Unger is possibly the best major tournament player of all time. He won three WSOP world championships. Even more incredible, he won ten of the thirty tournaments with a $5,000 buy in or more. No one else has come close to something like this.

This is only a few of the poker greats, there are too many to list them all. Poker players in the past were legends in a small community. Know they are main stream super stars. What a change.
