4 of Poker’s Charming Pros
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "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 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
