4 of Poker’s Great Guys
Thursday, 4. July 2024
Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
