No Joke, millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
