No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired 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. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they can improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003.
