No Joke, countless of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

Scotty Nguyen

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
