Beyond a doubt millions of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Granted "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 2004, his competition payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker 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 time 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 ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
