A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
Literally countless of people are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected 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!

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he attained two highly 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
