FAQ addition - the who are the pros question

[twistedbeats]

a question that gets asked once a week or so is "can you all tell me the name of pros that play online?" then 100 people all followup with either "i am a pro. lots of people here are pros" or heresay about this 25/50 nl player being that famous tourney player etc. and all the original poster wanted to do was kibitz some poker celebrity for a while.

let's streamline the process. perhaps define the term poker celebrity with a quick non-inclusive list (personally i'd limit it to people who play under their own names such as phil helmuth and annie duke on ub). i dunno exactly how i'd handle it, but it comes up so frequently that i think it deserves a mention.

plus i hate it when i tell someone i'm a pro player and they ask, "oh, have you ever been on the travel channel?" i just wanna scream, "NO, because that's not what a [censored] pro is." but iv'e been told i have issues.
