No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
