No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly admired 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
