A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Guys
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won 2 immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
