No Joke, millions of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
