Sunday, 15. November 2015
No Joke, huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP 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 even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
