Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
