A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Pros
Literally huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements 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 Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
