No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
