Four of Poker’s Charming Guys
Literally huge amounts of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great players" of the game. 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 payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional 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 surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
