Literally millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could boost 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 poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
