4 of Poker’s Great Guys

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 well known "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
