Literally millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
