Beyond a doubt countless of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings 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. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
