No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Granted "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 2004, his tourney payouts amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they might advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
