Beyond a doubt millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 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. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
