Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of 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 Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
