No Joke, millions and millions of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "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 won 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have 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 surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games 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 just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
