No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP 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. He even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
