4 of Poker’s Charming Guys
Literally huge amounts of individuals are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great players" 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" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational 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 total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
