No Joke, millions of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003.
