Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine's Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player's Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold'em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that's poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
