No Joke, huge amounts of players want 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. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his fans 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 success has lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
