A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Players
Thursday, 2. September 2021
Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table 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 tourney winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he came away with 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 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 particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
