No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
