Beyond a doubt millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it's "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely respected 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 Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational 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 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He's notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that's poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
