Canada
has produced an abundance of poker
pro's, infact in any given high
stake poker tournament there is
always a Canuck somewhere near
the top. The game itself may seem
simple enough but to master it
takes many years of dedication.
The players below are prime examples
of true poker stars. They didn't
get to where they are overnight
they have studied the game and
the people who play it to gain
that winning edge. The only thing
that separates the amateurs from
the pro's is experience plain
and simple. If you can learn what
the pro's already know your game
play will improve and so will
the size of your bank account.
