Literally millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired 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 named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
