A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he placed in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003.
