No Joke, millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he attained 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they can advance 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 poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
