Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
