4 of Poker’s Charming Players
No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice 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 removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
