Literally huge amounts 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 players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
