Poker players don't need a huge ego to succeed, no.
In tournament poker, off the top off my head, I don't think Deadman, Goulder, Brammer, Perrins, Cody, Toby,
Negreanu
etc have inflated egos.
I'd guess the proportion of inflated egos in poker is much the same as most other (competitive) walks of life.

Negreanu hasn't got an inflated ego and I like salads.

I have no negative opinions of anyone in that list apart from the Romanian.

Ego is the most expensive failing in poker
… try not to have one. On the other hand, you are almost certainly not as bad as you worst run tells you. Avoiding doing serious amounts of cash when you are suffering a run of bad results is an important factor in becoming a successful pro.

Very good. That was 12 years ago. Amazing find.
