by Colby on Tuesday, November 24th, 2020
No Joke, millions of players want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing 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 competition payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured 2 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 decency to talk with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
