Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

Scotty Nguyen

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003.
