No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up 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 Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
