In the last 20 years, poker exploded in popularity, and TV houses have fought over broadcasting rights for some poker tournaments. The number and the quality of players are constantly rising, so it’s not easy to earn accolades for the best poker player.

Professional players must have a couple of essential traits. Learning all you can from numerous books on poker is a great start. Being even keel, never too high or too low, also helps with tournament play. Experience is something that comes over time, and a great place to start would be playing poker in an online casino and then small live tournaments.

Most successful players have a consistent game, always playing the right way. Poker is partially based on luck, but consistent play with experience and knowledge will prevail in the long run. Here are the best pros in 2022 so far.

However, the biggest loot came in 2019, where he cashed out over $20 million for third place at Triton Million in England. He has been among the top players since 2014, when he managed 32 money finishes in the World Series of Poker.
