4 of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt countless of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected 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 Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 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 Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
