Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected 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 Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one 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 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
