Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table 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 amounted to in excess of 4.4 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 Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
