I know this is going to be hard to do, but without looking it up, who do you think are the top 5 all time money earners in poker? You'll need to think about who is a pro, how often they play and how often they either win or place in huge tournaments such as WSOP and WPT. I'd love to hear who you think are the top pro earners (without googling it!) blue |

Good question blue!!!! I'd say Danial N,Phil Helmuth,Doyle Bronson, Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen?   There are many that come to mind but trying to come up with the all time top money makers... kind of difficult. I sooooo want to google |

I can only think of one name, Johnny Chan right at the moment and I am sorry. I heard his names so often that his name popped right away.  |

Oh wow this is tough..........
My favorite is Gus Hansen but i think he lost more money then he has ever won. I think the smarter one of the bunch has to be the Professor Howard Lederer for the discipline he has in making a profit and not giving it back.
Soooooooo i think i will stick with him.
Great thread blue!

This may be a silly question but I have always wondered where those famous Hollywood stars stand...I mean are any of them really good? I hear so much about how much money they have lost but never really heard of them win big...
