Literally millions of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
