Literally countless of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
