Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker 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 earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He is notorious 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 Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
