A Couple of of Poker’s Great Pros
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 immensely admired 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 named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
