A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros

[ English ]

No Joke, millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from 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 payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
