No Joke, millions of individuals want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu

In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
