Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in the region of 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 Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "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 earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
