No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
