Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice players" of poker. 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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
