No Joke, huge amounts of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. 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 poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
