Beyond a doubt millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
