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 well known "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans 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 accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
