No Joke, huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout 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 career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
