4 of Poker’s Charming Players

Literally millions of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he won 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can advance 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 poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
