Literally millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of the game. Even though "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 competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three.
