A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Guys
Literally millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
