Literally millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely respected 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
