No Joke, millions and millions of people strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments 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 TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
