A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Guys
Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
