4 of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker 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. He still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
