Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
