No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to 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 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 total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
