Where the Stars Play Texas Hold'em
One of the fun things about poker in general is that it is a great equalizer. Anyone willing to put up the money to play can find themselves elbow to elbow with a superstar of the game. You'll probably never play golf with Tiger Woods or basketball with Kobe Bryant, but it's certainly possible you could find yourself at the poker table with Chris Ferguson, Men Nguyen or Daniel Negreanu.
Famous Players Playing Texas Hold'em Online
This is even more true online. Each major poker site has a number of poker superstars that these sponsor. These players not only promote the site, they also play on the site, sometimes at levels low enough that even recreational players can sit with them. Here's who you might find sitting at your virtual table at various sites.
Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker is your best chance to play Texas hold'em with a pro, since they have the largest stable of name pros affiliated with their site. Full Tilt pros include multiple WPT winner and WSOP main event winner Carlos Mortensen, WSOP main event final table finishers Mike Matusow and Allen Cunningham and poker legend Phil Ivey.
Doyles Room
As you would expect, you can find Doyle Brunson playing at Doyles Room, but you can also find his son Todd, Crazy Mike Caro and an assortment of other pros and celebs. These pros regularly participate in a bounty tournament where players get special cash prizes for knocking them out.
PokerStars
PokerStars recently added Daniel Negreanu to their cast of famous players, which also includes world champions Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer and Chris Moneymaker.
