No Joke, millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from 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 payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
