4 of Poker’s Nice Pros
Literally millions and millions of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003.
