4 of Poker’s Charming Players
No Joke, countless of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003.
