Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make 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 winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
