Literally countless of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Even though "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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess 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 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. 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. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
