Do you think celebrity poker professionals are becoming less and less common because there are so many donk players getting into poker nowadays? Which makes it more difficult for one person to win multiple tournaments, compared to 30 years ago? What are your thoughts?
Do you mean celebrities that become poker players or poker players that become celebrities because of their poker play? I don't think "bad" poker play has anything to do with it. I think more US players are playing outside the US. And because of the resrticted use of poker sites now in the US, you don't see all those commercials for sites with all those stars all over the place.
Also a lot of the top players are still wining multiple tourneys. Phil Hellmuth is the biggest example.
too many donks are never a problem. but it is interesting how you coin poker professionals as being celebrities... because a lot of them do make more money off of media than from actual poker playing
we need donks in the tourney to get sharking out so we can win lol
Poker celebs are lucky SOBs. While other true professionals are grinding their lives off, they get millions by looking badass on TV.
donks are important because if everyone would play well you would not be able to collect coins and reach as high as tour
Donks are good. We can get there chips easy ;D
We need more donkeys on pokerstars lol, i love them donkeys.
I wouldn't mind being one of those "lucky SOBs". LOL!Quote:

I think its funny how people call themselves pros after they win one big tournament and decide they are going to use that money to travel around playing tournaments.
I think professional poker players love to see donks in a game, they see them as fish.
Not really. If you're a really good professional you'll always win, no matter how many donks are in there.
okay, I see what you guys mean. Yeah we definitely need donks out there so that the sharks can have something to eat.
With that money that Pros got right now I would also be glad to travel around the world and play Poker, even take some time to relax.
Donks are a good thing.. Makes the fields softer and more money to win.
need them
so if you lose dont be med
If I were in that I know you guys be talking 'bout me! muahahahahahahaha
you need donks playing poker..without them from whom do you expect to win money..
I am a donk every now and again, aren't we ll from time to time?
Yes this is true i am a confirmed donk
I agree with you in these days there are too donk all started with online poker players and there are few strategies
true so many people shoving all in with nothing and limp calling
i think there were always donk, just normal :(
the donks are not the problem, the problem is there behaivor at the tables
Don't we want as many Donk fish in the game as possible? Without them the poker ecosystem would dry up
Yeah we want donks and fish to be playing. I'll be honest, sometimes I just enjoy playing like a donk and sucking out on people. It just feels good and is entertaining, because you can just relax and be creative.
if it wasnt for donks, poker wouldnt be profitable. donk on
I think half the time these onliners feel no remorse since they don't have too look you in the eye!
