No Joke, countless of players are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected 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 winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly admired 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 Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
