Wednesday, 23. October 2013
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from 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 tourney winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 highly respected 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. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
