4 of Poker’s Great Pros
No Joke, millions of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
