Literally huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
