So has anyone heard of any of these guys apart from Alan Cunningham? From this information it seems at least some of them are high stakes internet poker pros? Anyone know any nicknames for any of these guys perhaps?
I like Alan Cunningham a lot. He has a really likeable and respectful demeanor so I will be rooting for him. =)
