No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they will be able to 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 also hosting 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 most active players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He’s 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 2006, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
