Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional 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 complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003.
