No Joke, millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 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 referring to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
