There's a feeling that goes along with being a champion at something, a master at one's skill or another. When Bruce Lee walked into a desperate part of town, there must've been a strong confidence within him - a comfort knowing that, should anything go wrong, he could defend himself better than just about anyone alive. Ralph Perry must feel that way when he walks into the Bellagio, comforted with the knowledge that he's been playing at the high-stakes tables with some of the highest rollers in the world since 1992.
Perry has plenty of other reasons to feel fairly confident - including having a supportive family and his wife, Merri, and two sons Sean and Joseph. Perry seems to be a family man - despite making a living playing poker, an idea that just a few short years ago would've been unheard of. In addition to his deadly skills as the cash game player, Perry has cashed over 16 times in tournament play, making him a double threat at the poker table. Perry even made it to third place at the final table of the Main Event of the World Series of Poker in 2002.
