No Joke, countless of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening 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 playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
