Four of Poker’s Nice Players
No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "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 co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
