No Joke, countless of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making 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.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
