Friday, 1. February 2019
Literally millions of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
