Friday, 10. December 2021
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two 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 Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
