No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
