Literally countless of individuals want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
