No Joke, millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has 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 earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
