Four of Poker’s Great Guys

Beyond a doubt huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they might advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
