Beyond a doubt huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 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" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
