Literally millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is associated 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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two 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 decency to speak to his fans about how they might advance 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 video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
