4 of Poker’s Charming Guys
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Although "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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
