Beyond a doubt millions of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he won 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
