Literally millions of people strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Although "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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
