No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 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
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional 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 winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
