Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly respected 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
