No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
