No Joke, millions of people want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great players" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition 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 admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
