No Joke, millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice guys" of poker. 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 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational 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 surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003.
