Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu represent the modern generation of professional poker players that play poker live in casinos but also play online. In the last few years the number of online tournaments increased and a new type of poker players appeared. They are very young, around 18-20 years old, and spend several hours a day playing ring games or online tournaments.
