No Joke, millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen

He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003.
