4 of Poker’s Charming Pros
No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP 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. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
