I find it amazing with these pros. They win a few tournaments. Become real famous. Get lots of endorsement opportunities and then can never win again. Something seems wrong with the 'superstar status' in poker. It almost doesn't seem to be a real notion - the 'poker superstar'.

Daniel Negreanu was one such superstar. Forget about winning an event. He can not even cash in anymore. He only survives becasue of all his endorsements, tv appearances, dvd's, games that he is creating. But as far as being a winning tournament player anymore, it doesn't look that way.

But i think it really has to do with the myth of being a poker superstar. You win a tournament or two and you instantly gain superstar status. But is that realy correct? Perhaps the short term luck factor is making players seem more like superstars than they really are. And perhaps no one is really a superstar. A few come close, such as phil ivy, johhny chan, ted forrest, kathy liebert.

But in general the poker superstar is a myth and Daniel Negreanu is a prime example.

Daniel, do you think you will ever win a tournament again?
