Beyond a doubt countless of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they could boost 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 instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
