4 of Poker’s Great Pros
Literally countless of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
