No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great pros" of the game. 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 tournament winnings amounted to more than 4.4 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
