No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP 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. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
