No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he came away with 2 highly admired 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
