No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Even though "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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won 2 highly admired 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 Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
