After all, is it possible to find some of them playing poker online or do they only play in person?

Have you ever played against a famous player or celebrity in poker?

I generally didn't notice any celebrities at my tables. But to be honest, I don't even know how I could notice them, because their screen name can be different. Do you know what screen name Daniel Negreanu or Phil Ivey has, for example? ..... I personally do not know. I understand that you can find this information on Google, but what is the point or benefit in this. Even if I played against some celebrity, it would not affect my skills or experience in any way. I would play the way I always play.

Yes, I wouldn't change my way of playing, and I believe that no matter how good they are, they wouldn't have an easy life, as players who know the odds only lose to each other due to the variation in luck, and well-used bluffs.

Pros at GG usually have their original name.
Commonly first letter of name and surname .
So it would be D. Negreanu.

Or an example on a current highstakes AoF table

In the old days you would see them all the time on FullTilt and PokerStars.

I still remember when Isuldur1 was playing like 8 different pros hu in a wide variety of variants.

If you were to take a look at the Top 100 players on the All time leaderboard for most money won, I recognize lots of players who are still playing the higher stakes MTT's online and are taking part in all of the online series (ie. SCOOP... which is coming up this month!)

It was pretty cool on FullTilt they would pay the pros an additional hrly wage, so they were often seen on the low stakes. They would even give out shirts to players that busted the pros.

I played 109 tournaments, sometimes professional Pokerstars players play there and they were marked with a badge by Pokerstars representatives, they play very well and don't play a bad game, the names of the players I definitely forgot but they weren't so famous

I'm not in the habit of reading or seeing who's at the table I'm playing, it has happened that my son is at the same table and didn't have it at the tableHe tried everything he could to get him to notice, as it didn't happen, he called him on his cell phone

I played in the past against some really good high stake regulars when I participated in some Sunday Millions but against the names you are mentioning here no. I play micro stakes in general. :)
