Literally millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
