No Joke, huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
