Four of Poker’s Great Players
Literally millions and millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
