Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely 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 to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
