Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
