Beyond a doubt countless of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "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 dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
