Literally huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
