Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he won 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
