A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Guys
Literally millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video called "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 Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
