Four of Poker’s Nice Pros
Saturday, 27. July 2019
Beyond a doubt millions of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "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 competition winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
