No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great players" 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 tournament winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
