4 of Poker’s Great Pros
Literally millions and millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
