Four of Poker’s Nice Guys
No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing 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 amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known 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 co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "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 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
