Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he attained two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can improve their own game.

His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox.

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
