No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two 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 Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
