No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "nice players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected 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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
