Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. 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 two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
