No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly admired 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 Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
