No Joke, huge amounts of individuals are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
