No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected 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 Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video called "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 earnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked 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 alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
