A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Pros
No Joke, millions of players want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
