Literally millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he came away with 2 immensely 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 Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
