Beyond a doubt millions of individuals want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess 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 Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
