No Joke, countless of people are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great players" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament payouts amounted 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 Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

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

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
