No Joke, huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
