A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
Beyond a doubt countless of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is 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 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
