Beyond a doubt millions of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
