Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro 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 time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
