Literally millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes 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 throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
