Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003.
