Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he won two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
