No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he came away with two immensely respected 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. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they can advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in more than 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
