Beyond a doubt millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker 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 total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
