Beyond a doubt millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
