No Joke, millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
