Four of Poker’s Charming Pros
Literally countless of players are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling 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. As of 2005, his complete life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
