Four of Poker’s Great Pros


No Joke, huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected 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 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
