No Joke, millions and millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
