No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 competitions.

As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003.
