A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
No Joke, millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of one hundred events.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three.
