Wednesday, 6. January 2016
No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected 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 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker 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. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could boost their own game.

Chris Ferguson
