A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Players
No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he won 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk 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 instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
