Successful
Poker Players

Since
the creation of poker, the game has
quickly become one that requires a
hardened skill of deceiving others.
There are plenty of great poker players
out there, millions even, but there are
a few poker players who have risen to
fame. The best poker players are the
most cunning and intelligent of players.
They know what they're doing and they
know how to do it, too.
One such great player that you should be
familiar with is Doyle Brunson. Doyle
first started out as a basketball
player, however a knee injury prevented
him from becoming famous for his talent
in basketball. Instead, he followed in
his father's footsteps and became a WSOP
bracelet winner. The whole idea behind
playing poker is to win money. That's
exactly what Doyle did. He was the very
first player who won a million dollars
in just one tournament. Doyle typically
plays Texas Hold 'em. This has become a
specialty for him. Typically, his bets
are a minimum of $4,000, though he has
been known to bet up to $8,000 as well.
Johnny Chan is the only opponent that
would probably be able to take on Doyle.
Both are currently tied with 10 wins.
Johnny Chan is commonly referred to as
the "Orient Express" because of how
quickly he defeats the competition. Most
poker enthusiasts who have seen his face
know what his name is. This is simply
because he often stars on poker
tournaments on television. He made a
special appearance in the movie
Rounders, which also increased his
popularity and reputation. Chan was
originally born in China. He and his
family headed for the United States.
After immigrating successfully, they all
decided to open a Chinese restaurant.
Chan decided to put an end to his
college education at the age of 21.
Poker was more interesting to him and he
was constantly developing and learning
new strategies of the trade.
The classiest poker player would have to
be Chris Ferguson or "Jesus". He dresses
in amazing clothes and his charisma only
enhances his personality. His cowboy hat
and the dark sunglasses he wears are one
of his trademarks that help set him
apart from others. He quickly defeats
any game with speed and careful
planning. He started out as a computer
scientist, and many seem to think that
this has given him an edge over just
about everyone who meets him or plays
against him.
Chris Moneymaker watched and became
inspired by the movie Rounders. He
shortly became famous after watching the
film. It only took him a year. In the
year of 2003, he decided to leave an
online poker website and head to the
WSOP. He competed and won. His pockets
were stuffed with 2.5 million dollars.
He's an aggressive player and is very
well known for his ability to keep calm,
even during the fiercest of
competitions.
It's possible for anyone to become a
champion and famous just by playing
poker. It's not an easy process, and it
does require lots of know-how and
experience.
