No Joke, millions and millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements 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 time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
