Literally millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
