Beyond a doubt millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to more than 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 Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
