Thursday, 13. October 2016
Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
