Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
