Four of Poker’s Charming Guys
Literally huge amounts of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
