Literally huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than $4.4 million 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 Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
