No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice guys" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
