Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he attained 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
