Tuesday, 29. June 2021
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated 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 tourney winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is notorious 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 life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
