No Joke, countless of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
