No Joke, countless of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
