Literally huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
