4 of Poker’s Great Pros
No Joke, millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million 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 humility to speak to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen

He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
