No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
