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 well known "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational 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 time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
