Beyond a doubt millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great 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 removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly admired 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 Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold'em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that's poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic 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 live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
