Literally millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 immensely 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational 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 earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
