A Couple of of Poker’s Great Pros
Sunday, 12. November 2023
No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "great guys" of poker. 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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "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 hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott 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" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
