4 of Poker’s Nice Pros
Monday, 6. February 2017
No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker 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 Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video called "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 earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
