4 of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 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 life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
