Four of Poker’s Charming Pros
Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements 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 TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
