Literally millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could boost 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 instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
