4 of Poker’s Great Players
No Joke, millions of people strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
