Four of Poker’s Great Pros

No Joke, millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely admired 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
