Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he came away with 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
