A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Guys
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly 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 named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
