No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney 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 speak with his admirers about how they could improve 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 poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
