Beyond a doubt millions of individuals want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they could boost 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 educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark 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 tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
