Four of Poker’s Great Guys
No Joke, countless of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming 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 competition payouts amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
