Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he won 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional 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 time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
