Posted in Poker on 02/25/2018 03:25 am by MarleyLiterally huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Although "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 removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two immensely respected 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 chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s noted 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 2006, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003.
