Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003.
