No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
