Four of Poker’s Nice Players
Literally huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated 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 2004, his tourney earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two 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. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
