Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
