A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Players
Beyond a doubt millions of players want to be the next "mega 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 playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker 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. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
