No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
