No Joke, huge amounts of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker 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 talk with his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
