A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four 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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly admired 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 even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
