No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 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 quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
