Beyond a doubt millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing 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 tourney earnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "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 earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
