4 of Poker’s Great Guys
Literally millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" 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 payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional 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.

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred events.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three.
