Literally millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to improve 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 poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
