Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
